Have been thinking about what you guys said the other day.

Current plan:

- Sell ZX for as close to $6k as I can get

- Buy daily for $3k

- Sell Supra for as close to $16k as I can get

- Buy MR2 in Victoria. Modify it until I'm happy. No matter how long it takes or how much it costs

Does that sound like the way to go?

Might have to drop the price on the ZX again... It won't even sell for $6k. The market is f*cked now. I just want it gone though.

That style of rim has been and gone funky. Had the advan model 5's which look similar to that in 2003 lol

yes kris, thank you mr finger on the pulse. that's why these rims have been sold out across most of japan for the last month after being released in january this year.

shit's selling hotter than crack cocaine.

sounds like the best revision of your plan so far. sensible at least, you've got a car you're passionate about and a decent car to drive around in.

word of advice, spend more on a newer daily that's prone to less faults/breakdowns. esp if you plan to build your MR2 slowly.

I'm sorry but why an mr2?

Just personal taste really. I love the unique shape and the fact that they're semi-convertible (targa top).

Mid-engine RWD in a fairly light car is also a great combination. The handling is very good.

Other cars just don't it for me :( Just like some people here prefer 32s over 33s or 34s. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What would you suggest as a daily? I don't care how girly and embarrassing it is. I'd prefer a smaller car and good fuel economy is a must.

Mitsubishi Mirage? :)

Lol didn't say they looked bad

proton satria GTI, vw golf MK3, civic, micra, starlet... anything really that's small and sub 1.8L. the newer the better.

just sayin they're not as out of style as you may think. Also Advan 5's don't look like that nor do they come in that sorta fitment.

Cheers man :) That's a good list. I'll have a look on carsales now.

Do you know any dealers that would let me trade in my ZX? Would be so much easier than trying to sell to all these boyracers with no money.

offset :(

:)

Lol should I post a pic of my car standard with the rims? It don't look too bad! The kit makes it look more fail offset haha.

Also where I live now I can't lower it anymore too :happy: I scrape to f**k going in the driveway and already getting cracks through the front bar lol

car is going in for another tune soon jezza. Getting a de cat put in and more boost. Need to also get it tuned a bit richer as it leans out quite a bit on very cold nights

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • 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.
    • 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.
