Everyone seems to be creating these threads lately, so I didn't want to be left out.

My car is now sold, I delivered it to Ballarat this evening. I haven't really noticed any sadness at it's passing, either because the long period of time it took to sell brought me acceptance, or it just hasn't sunk in yet

next car is still being decided upon, with it's requirements that it be reasonably cheap (the whole point of selling my line), and yet still be fun, and have potential for future modification once debt levels reach 0.

There's a few candidates, no real decisions yet though. Would have been nice to get a new car on the dyno today, but never mind.

See some of you at rays in 10 hours

Suggestions...

Jap: Go for a Laurel or something. not as quick but it can be played with later. 4 door too!

Aussie: VN-VP SS commodore or EB-ED XR8. Just sounds good and a bit of fun...

Cheap to run: N14 SSS pulsar. SR20 goodness and good run around.

there are so many choices!!!

omg its mattel ! never buy a civic !!!!! that is all. lol

whats wrong with a civic? my 25 year old civic is still running lol.....15+ km/ltr - only problems is that gear 3 seems to pop out...so i have to hold that and drive it...but i only use that car to go to work sometimes and to deliver drinks to some vending machine in lilydale (and to take my dog to the vet). Maybe I should have poped that on the RE Customs dyno for laughs (supposed to have 45kw of power at the engine - so about 10 kw at the wheels?)

for 6k justin - there are a couple of mr2s on the j-spec website....is this just for the track/deca/drags etc?

It needs to be my daily driver, and it would be nice if it did the others as well :)

Doesn't need to look the best, just needs to be mechanically sound

Sad to see the 4 door go Justin, Up your budget and buy my celsior!!

You can buy some half decent cars for around 150,000 yen in Japan, that will give you some change from you budget.

Free plug for my homies at J-Spec!

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
