As the title suggests, I'm after some suggestions on buying a new car meeting the following criteria

Must be from a dealership, no older than 5 years, anything up to $40k and the preferences are:

1.Audi

2.Saab

3.Merc

4.BMW

5.Other suggestions

Pretty much in that order. So throw up suggestions/photos of some of the nicer looking models in that price range :O

Cheers

Dez

new or secound hand? 40 grand wont get a new coupe but will get something like a e46 328 coupe or even a e36 m3

new or second hand doesn't matter, as long as its not over $40k, and is from a dealership...obviously the newer the better, but obviously with a limit of $40k the newer you go the further down the ladder you get as far as models go

Honda Accord Euro.

Go drive one - you'll be impressed at how nice they are.

Otherwsie a Golf GTi

Saw a Golf GTi tonight and thought it might fit into the crieteria actually...what are they going for new/2nd hand ?

This isn't for me by the way, it's for my brother with this job he's just landed...

I'm also suggesting an F6 Typhoon....Not sure what they're going for 2nd hand (BA/BF) but if they can be had for under $40k in good condition, one of those in black, with the black wheels, they do it for me nicely...

I just don't think $40k is enough to get one of the nice (what I deem nice anyway) Euros like the Mercs/Beamers etc...and Saabs dont really do anything for me..

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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 😂

      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.

      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.
