Between 2k - 5k depending on what i find/like/want when I have money in my pocket.

Plans depend on what model I find

6kish

Nope

Woot bonnet is now fixed!

Lesson learned: DIY

/sigh... $200 gone to the body works shop then to fix up their crappy mistakes at home

lads

boring day is boring

sitting in the office pretending to do work before my 1pm meeting. then will finish for the day

hopefully weather holds out and I may make an appearance tonight

wet weather + cheap tyres + leaky sunroof = shithousen

What did you buy?

Nothing yet.

Not looking at anything interesting either. One of my Volk center caps has gone AWOL, and I've found a number of likely candidates to replace it. Also an R31 keyring :)

Japanese schoolgirl?

Hmmmm.... group buy?

5k will buy you one thats on the road....but not well, unless your very lucky. i payed 4.5 for my girls one ('68 with the roof racks, Venetians etc) but i have rebuilt the motor since in it.....

I found in the 5k bracket you either get one with a good body and stuff drive train, or vice versa. never a nice combo or compromise.

anything below 4k was just plain screwed :(

what happened to the days of buying an old Volkies for 500 bucks slapping some number plates on it and just driving.... :(

oh, and if this rain stays im not coming down tonight...spent too long this arvo saturated in the rain to wanna go out in it again

If you haven't gone, probably a good idea not to go. Another storm just brewed up and is headed our way... again, hail

Shit tonne of hail hit my sisters place @ parkinson

I hear ya. My other bugs cost me $500 and $1300 both straight on the road. There seem to be some half decent ones around at the moment for under 5. Some really nice ones between 6&8. I want to do a lot of the work though. So as long as the engine is decent enough for a daily then i'll settle for a slightly less than decent body.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
