Actually buying some of those exotics posted isn't all that pricey.........the crippler is having to buy a flatbed truck and then pay someone to drive it and follow you around every time you go out for a drive!!!

:stupid: It's one thing to buy an exotic, another to live with it ;)

Your standards are slipping gents.

werd. I started off with cool shit like diablo's and stuff and now we have some pullme thing and a 356 which i'm fairly certain is not in my golden era and also looks like a sleeker volkswagen beetle (not a compliment!).

ok, let's get things back on track.

just to be difficult I want my diablo to be the SE30 with the sports pack (extra 75hp) which only a handful ever existed. it was the lightweight stripped out version but with 600hp... one day.

also, whilst on the topic of awesome 80s/90s cars can someone please stop fcking mr bean from buying maclaren F1s. he's now written off at least 2 that I know and if he buys another one i'm going to have to go take it off him. how the fk you can write off a maclaren F1 driving straight down a motorway is beyond me. perhaps if he had one girl on each side of him and was getting blown by one whilst simultaneously trying to do lines of coke of the others breasts I could perhaps see how things could get tangled and he might lose concentration for a moment but other than that there is just no excuse. in fact mid crash he should have dived out the window and thrown himself between the car and the pole to soften it's blow. selfish prick.

though if we are going to go a bit older I will make an exception. and my god it's one of my favourite cars of all time. lamborghini miura.... mumma mia!

also to the quirky 80s/90s section lets add the Alfa Romeo Sprint Zagato (SZ, but not the RZ because convertibles are for women).

a bit quirky looking but something about them is just "so 90s" and tough. I'd have one. with open pipes to hear that lovely alfa 6 note.

they looked cool in race form too.

and here's a better pic of the standard car (if you can call a zagato bodied alfa 'standard').

btw another fav 80s car while we are talking alfa has to be the alfa GTV6.

and a GTV6 race car.

they made some beautiful cars even earlier too.

for those that don't know the alfa GTV6 is a pretty cool car. it was released in 81 and powered by a 2.5L V6 (beautiful engine) that put out about 160hp. sounds like nothing but at the time a porsche 924 were just over 100hp...

they were front engined but with a rear mounted transaxle (using what's called a de dion rear member) which gave a 50/50 weight distribution. they had other cool feautures like 4 wheel disc brakes with inboard rear disks (very cool), and were pretty rapid for their day.

they also made a 3L (potenziata) version and some rare twin turbo versions too that put out something like 240hp.

the 2.5 is a sweet donk though and can be fettled to make decent power.

check out that rear end and sexy inboard disks etc... pretty cool for a car made in 1980..

    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
