Nooo Nark, ok something new but not the Rex, get EVO 1 or 2 instead, GSR....or Familiar Gtr any of these on my list will nail a Rex easy.......oh yeah Godzilla Junior the Pulsa Gti-R..

Don't know why i hate the Rex but yeah i drove me mate's one before and they goes alright but not midrange and top end though.

Anyway sad to see you leave OUR SKY but like you said you'll be back.:)

hehe i would love an EVO4 thats the evo i reaaaally like but they arent that easy to come by and they arent that cheap... plus they are getting on a bit... im going for something no older than 5 years so that pretty much rules out most imports i love that i can actually afford.

its just a phase im guessing.... time to try other things for a little while until i get another liner :)

just keep the 32!! the WRX aren't that crash hot. I've driven one, cheap feeling throuughout - but they do go ok, and are quite fun. I think it would get a bit dull after a while though driving every day. They make a lot of noise which makes them seem faster than they are, but they're not as fast as a skyline I didn't feel (well a nice 33 anyhow :))

why waste the time or money on a rex just for that short period of time if you really want a 34?.. a rex will still cost you at least $20k anyhow, insurance costs will rape you, etc

the wrx im looking at has quite a number of mods on it already... but yes dave i did say this a while ago when i wanted to get a GTR but decided against it and kept my car... i will miss it ive got quite attached to it.

wouldnt mind an S15 for a while.... bit more expensive but i wont be keeping it for long so wont lose much on it when i sell :)

yeah go the wrx, because you'll buy it for a certain price with whatever mods, then in 6 months you will lose say around $1000 when you sell so it really doesnt matter, unlike if you were to buy an s15 with say exhaust bleed valve whatever, it'll lose more value quicker than an older my 98-99 wrx

Ok Nark has decided i think, oh well instead of loosing a SECOND to Josie, now TWO :( ( with the Rex ) only kidding.

DONT forget their Tranies are very FRAGILE Nark. The guy at my work has pump out 220@wheel but along the progress he has about 3 tranies go walk about.

You can't launch them Hard either, after all Nark, PULSAR GTi-R man, quad throttle, chain driven, attessa. Bolt on some HKS blower or even a T04E and you'll run 12.

Consider man.:D

lol west yeah i know how quick a GTiR is but they are also butt ugly and old... defeats the purpose of something new :(

dont worry i know the WRXs have a shite drive train and u cant launch it hard but im not going to be using it for drags.... i want to take it around my uncles farm do a bit of 4WD rallying and drive it up thru the hills.

That's just like me... i can't decide b/n Evo6, MY04 WRX, GTR 33 or GTT 34..... Not that I'm in a rush, but I want something new, yet affordable and powerful.

The Skylines are at the top of my list though:bahaha:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
