Astra turbo is $36,990 retail for the coupe [obviously out of the price range].

an N/A R34 for $23k? I wouldnt like to see that, a half decent one will be out of your price range IMO too.

I think these 2 are good buys for the price "pug 206 GTI, Proton GTI" But if she is after a real *bang for buck* then a low vol import like a skyline or silvia really cant be beaten in the mid-size range.

Newsagents have buyers guides which would help decide on a locally made / delivered model car too.

An early model wrx is pretty good value and has 4 doors which a lot of women prefer [kids etc :spank:]...

a 92 model bmw 320 could be ok for that price.. insurance will be shit on any import.

proton satria gti and pug gti both good... the proton isnt sooo bad.. i had one until someone wrote it off.. a freind has one with 55,000kms on it and only serviced it twice and its still going strong.

are the BMW straight sixes really tunable??

i reckon WRX wagon's are cool... A bit of change to all the sedans around.

FTO sounds nice... but i have never driven any of the above mentioned cars except the BWM 320i (which was 94 i think) that was a beautiful car, torquey engine, strong brakes, real nice handling.

All well and good u driving these cars denham, but what did she think we she drove some of them? or u didn't let her? :)

320i - stock 110 kw I think... It's not too hard to get to about 140-150. If you want to go higher, supercharge or turbo-charge would be possible and give you up to 350+kw. :D

(Alternatively do what a friend of mine has done and dump a 4.0l NA v8 into one for 220rwkw. :D

Stock handling is fantastic, brakes are good, quality is good and you get to give Mrs INASNT a key with a BMW badge... :)

But then I'm biased...

yes she did drive a few of the cars we looked at but she doesent ring their neck like i do in the test drive. The pug was the funniest, i did 7000rpm launches and 7000rpm changes while she did 2500rpm changes!! When u test drive a car u gotta give it a hrd time!

      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.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      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.
