This car is pimp - make no mistake. Ive got a Forester Sti at the moment and thatll be coming back to Oz next April but im already thinking about the next one.

Its a tossup between this Civic and an Evo wagon. It will definitely be one of these two.

the interior is certainly...ummmm... different. but the exterior styling certainly is an acquired taste.... to say the least.

but apart from the dubious styling it would be a cool car. :D

yeah, BB teh bottom interior shot is from the concept car i think.

Its pretty hardcore though... and it DEFINITELY wont be on the SEVS list.

I think they only made 400 of them but if you check goo net, they have 10 or more for sale.

I hope the price drops a little more because they are up at around 45 to 50 thou atm so...

The cooking version Type R is 24thou...so im wondering why this one is double the price.

Shepo, i agree mate - itll be pretty wild. Id like to take one for a testdrive soon.

Any ideas on what this thing will fetch on teh Ozzie market??

There's actually been an RR going through auction in Kobe for the last three weeks - I'll be there looking at it next week, I'll be curious to see what it's making.

I'd choose an Evo wagon if it was me, but then again, the Evo wagon may eventually make it's way on to the SEVS list by the time you're ready to bring it back...

If you're buying it for your own enjoyment, get the RR, but don't buy it with the aim of making a profit.

Why not?

Why would you be looking at the RR if you were just curious?

And i fully expect to make a healthy profit on my Forester... why wouldnt i expect the same from the Evo or indeed the RR if it were the right price?

Besides, i doubt very much the evo wagon will make the SEVS register...its been out for nearly 3 years and nothing has happened so unless theres something else you know that i dont...

One more thing which you may have forgotten... they only made a grand total of 2500 Evo wagons,... cant see that many getting down there...

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
