lol, so hed be right at home then! Kilt plus MX-5 - perfect combo. Al you need now is to add some glenlivets...but id recommend a good haggis before he does that.

Not sure if teh Mx-5 has enuf bootspace for teh bagpipes tho...

ROFL I'm gonna send him that! He only wears his kilt on Sunday so I guess I don't wanna be passenger when that wind's blowing around in that little thing. He's got a more portable bagpipe, it's ok.

portable bagpipes..?

I got a portable bag pipe, lol.

Youre not talkin bout teh one under his kilt i hope. :thumbsup:

Now, here i was talking about talking ur mate out of an Mx-5 and here you are wanting to play teh bagpipes! Say it aint so Dan!

:D My dirty secret! I just want to play!!!!!!! Nooooo. What will my mother say!

Starlet GT.

Can pick them up for an absolute steal (anywhere from 5k - 10k depending on condition), 1.3L could basically run on petrol fumes, snappy handling, nimble and light (850kg or thereabouts), enough room for 5 if needed (bit squishy in the back obviously), and the practicality of a hatch (can fit shiteloads in the back with the rear seats down).

And the parts are quite cheap to top it off.

Look for one in good condition with reasonable Kms and exhaust/suspension/wheels/tyres. Basically a fairly close to stock one with just a few improvements to make it a bit of a beast in the twisties.

Take a look on http://www.austarletclub.com/forums/.

Theyre very friendly over there :D

LOL It was intended for automotive discussion and mainly is. It's served it's purpose though and given me some info for my mate who appreciates it. I also got a laugh so that's a bonus!

Hi guys, I'm just after some suggestions for a mate who's after something cheaper than his big heavy falcon as he wants to tie up some debts and wants a cheaper run around. He does enjoy driving and wants something that will be fun through some hills ect so if anyones so some recommendations it would be much appreciated.

So far he's been looking into Pulsar SSS's and Starlet GT's. He's got around 10k to play with give or take and it will be a daily driver so nothing too old as he does want it to be reliable.

Cheers.

Honda CRX - 2nd Generation.

Extremely zippy, use bugger all fuel, cheap insurance, and fantastic handlers! I won't even mention how easy they are to park and get around in. They even have HUGE carrying capacity.

Forget the age of the vehicle - it's the CONDITION that important. Most R32's are a couple of decades old now, yet that doesn't automatically mean they're all hunks of junk. Quite the opposite can be true if the car has been looked after.

I bought a second generation CRX as an 'in-betweener' to getting my current R32 GTR and I still LOVE jumping back into it regularly and taking it for a spin!!!

Looks like everyone backs the mx5.. But it is a very suss car, if you tint the windows enough u'll be right.. at least your not driving a vw beatle..

Try a mini never driven one, but chicks seem to dig it.. you mate have issues getting chicks?

I'd also like to give the Clio the nod....but I won't.

Simply because it's French & has a girls name.

Manly?

FWD?

Hairdresser?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
