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!!!

An EG Civic. Despite what most would think, they are alot of fun :whistling:

bwahahahahaa :P

yes ive driven one ...

ive thrashed one ...

they roll worse than my munro ... they are fwd, they have no power ... they are 1.7 litres of shitness, shall i continue ?

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!

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
