ae101 / ae111 levin.. quad throttle bodies + 8800rpm = symphony

my old ae101 - miss it badly. handled like it was on rails, 500+km to a tank on hard driving, parts are fairly cheap, easy to work on.

can they be sourced locally? aren't they like imports?

Gratuitous plug, I am selling it, I am in WA, it does need rego but it sort of fits your criteria and its cheap.

There are a stack of cheap fun cars on gumtree.

I even saw a RB30'd KE70 unfinished project.....

you could pick up an old mitsubishi cordia with a 4g63 for under 5k if you can find one, or a galant with 4g63 ( the turbo ones) , cordia is old put if you picked one up for say 1500 you could boost it up or bolt a garrett and an intercooler on..

or pick up the old celica supra 84 model for 3k and maybe swap the engine for a v8 or turbo supra motor for a few thousand more, even a vl turbo engine slotted in would go hard

are GT starlets under 5k?

what about SR-V pulsars (the ones with the SR16 engine)?

SSS pulsars are already at the minimum 5k in perth :(

tons of normal starlets but no GT's for sale either

that looks really nice to me .. although if i was to buy something like a civic id prefer an older/cheaper one ..

http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-Honda-Civic-VTI-94-W0QQAdIdZ310806290 like this!

theres also this e30 .. looks to be in great condition

wouldn't it become expensive to keep sending it to a bmw specialist for servicing etc though?

i dont know much about bmw's but ive been told they get expensive to maintain ..

no idea but i thought BMWs needed more $$ for normal maintenance ...

im just doing some research on other peoples 120Y/Ke rolla projects and see how much theyve costed them, if it doesnt seem to expensive im really quite keen on the 120Y, i dont mind waiting around till a good one pops up

if not im probably sold on the hondas - just need to decide out of civic/prelude/integra

its usually people who have not owned beemers that say they are unreliable and are high maintenance cars. i thrashed my e30 jps for ages and nothing broke. sold mine for 3.5k with a short ratio box, lsd and reground cam.

s1 s14's are cheap nowadays as well.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
