lol at 6k audi a3.

At that price will be 8L and they are nothing special at all. Outdated car which isn't that fun to drive.

@ 6k can't go past a VX berlina - calais

Good enough on fuel. No need for gas.

Are you kidding ,a commodore good on petrol..

You obviously never owned a civic..lol

+1. i have a VT. on the highway it's ok, (less than 9L/100kms), but round town it's shocking. little 4 banger will use about 30% less fuel (depending on how you drive and the engine size)

Magnas shit their gearboxes 150-200kms in...

Not sure if viable, but adding input anyway - got 6.6L/100km out of mums E39 1996 BMW 528i sitting on 100kmh, ac and radio on... (Sits on 1600rpm @ 100kmh) Love the autobahn gearing lol.

Just get a falcodore though, cheap to run, cheap to service, cheap parts, comfy..

changing to a pulsar or corolla is pointless if he already has a civic.

How is it uncomfortable, suspension wise or just seats.

How is it unreliable, has it got heaps of kms on it..

As long as theyre serviced hondas dont miss a beat, i just dont understand how it could be so shit unless its old and unmaintained.

oh wait its an EF.. Yeah probably past its useby date :laugh:

just about any car is reliable if its serviced properly so your question is pretyy silly.. What sort of car do you want. Id be getting an SP20 mazda or SR2 ford for about 10k personally if you still want a hatch that is

actually just saw a sss pulsar hatch for 6500 looked nice, post some pics later

Got 2 commodores both do 600km in town. (petrol)

Got KE30 corolla. $400. best on fuel

what sort of "in town" driving is it? if it is on motorways,, expressways, etc then you will get dramatically better economy than someone in stop/start traffic.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
