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...

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • 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.
