You guys are jerks. Don't you remember how stoked you were on your first car?

I had a red manual camry and I LOVED that POS.

Spent more on a stereo than the car was worth, lol. Used to get excited about shit like seat covers too haha.

Now I'm sad and wish I was 17 again :(

bought it back in 03 for 1500 bucks, it lasted about 2 yrs before a mates gf rear ended someone on the Iron cove bridge and blamed me for 'not like, fixing the brakes, and shit'. Was a great car considering it was an auto with flood damage (too many spilled mountain dews).

almost miss the thing. almost.

upgraded to an A4 which was an absolute lemon. now im in a skyline i aint ever going back..

Was an awesome first car, had it for almost 3 years i think before trading it in for the stagea. It went through all the standard p plater phases - the massive power increase of an exhaust + pod filter, half a bodykit, big wheels, stereo, etc

EDIT- first car was one of these. Bought it for 1g kept it for 6 months then sold it for 2g or 2.5g. It had been sitting in some old mans shed for years was in pristine condition and under 100ks.

I used to pull chicks in my old EA falcon.

True Story

Was it a haggard, rust ridden, clutchless beast?

I let some cvnt snooze on my couch one night and the dirty f**ker pinched it while i was sleeping..

Yeah, no more.... Sold for $1000. Totally original, but so much rust it wasn't really a feasible resto.

Had the original wheels, but my old man pinched them for something else, and left me with R30s I think? Spend pretty much every weekend fibre glassing some part of it!

Was a 5 spd too.... Still got the Warranty/Service booklet!biggrin.gif

Mine was one of these

7SC094.jpg

Same colour same year

Bought for $2700 with 217000kms on it

had it for 3 years

I never had to spent a cent on it. other than servicing it,

And the cd player I put in as soon as I got it

Drove it to all the shows and band practices for a whole 2 years

Some f**kwitt broke into it one night when I was playing a show, lucky nothing was in the car, but he broke both my door locks so I had to get in through the boot and unlock the door from the inside

Took me and the wife (GF at the time) to bribane and back with the entire car FULL and I mean full of our shit.

It died at 320000kms the cv joints and shocks were totally gone and it wasn't worth fixing

This was my first car:

85456241.jpg?t=1274912378

Bought her for $4500Was a Manual Turbo with around 170,000KM on the clock.

Was making around ~150Rwkw, was quite fun to drive while it lasted. I had 7k saved to drop in an RB25, however it was defected prior and it ended up sitting for a year before i finally decided to flog it off. By then idd already bought my 32 GTR, so didnt see the sense in keeping both.

Was sad to see her go though :(

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
