Hey guys,

I'm contemplating whether or not to even get another car of my own (I have a work car so it's more of a want not a need!)... But if I do, I've been thinking something along the lines of an Evo 9 or something like that.

R32 Golfs are around the same money, but I'm not a massive hatchback fan...

What else would people suggest that would be in the same price range? Just looking to broaden my horizons as I could have missed something (I am blonde after all) :blink:

Cheers all!

Bec

Toyota Priuses are reputed to be able to drop phat skids :D

-D

I appreciate rotors, but don't think I'd buy one. Good looking car, but!

Prius? "If you put your arm out the window the vehicle will turn!" hahaha

JZX100s are wicked cars, but probably a bit big for me... Plus I want something a bit newer :blink:

And I had a current shape MX5 already (before GTR) :D Wicked car!!!

What is your budget? What do you want the car for? What do you want the car to be able to do? How new? Answer these and we may be able to give you some serious suggestions.

Prius' = joke. They actually use more fuel when driving anywhere other than city 50 zones than the new V8 M3... And when they are written off or wrecked because they're majority battery, they are terrible for the environment, AND they create ridiculous amounts of pollution when they're built. People who buy them for environmental reasons haven't done their research. People who buy them to make a statement are a joke and clearly have horrible taste. Haha

There's a thought... M3... Hehe

what do you plan on doing with the car? what will be it's main purpose?

Mostly to be used on weekends, something that'll be fun to drive up through the hills in, something reasonably modern (newer than 04-ish), may do a couple more hillclimbs/track days etc... Something I can spend money on here and there, mild mods, wheels etc... But not pour cash into, otherwise I'd just keep going with the R :blink: And not overly keen on FWD.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
