whats fast/fun, four wheels, <5k and not a nissan? kgo

90s Prelude or Integra...

But if you don't mind old, one of the greatest / most fun cars I've ever driven, was a 1989 Prelude. Would buy one brand new if I could. So comfortable/functional, so much visibility over the bonnet (like a Porsche) and they handle ridiculously well (beat out Ferraris and Porsches in a slalom at the time).

Anyone who has driven one will tell you, the four wheel steer is awesome...none of this HICAS shit, it's actually useful. You can turn into a carpark on a 90 degree angle and going around round-a-bouts feels like you're in a boat (good way).

have driven both those hondas before and i agree with birds. haven't driven the mx5 or any kinda bmw so tossing up b/n those two atm.

this is just to tide me over till subaru decide to officially strap a turbo to the brz

Alvin, you still need old computer stuff? I've got 2 old printers, like some multifunction or something along with a hub and router. If not, do you know any recycle computer places in the west side? Forgot it was garage cafe tonight... :-/ So what's the verdict, emo or skyline???????

no printers, only agp/pci cards and cpus.

7 turbo has a smaller rear housing than the 8MR turbo, thats all the difference is, but its cheaper to buy a second hand 8MR turb, than a new housing lol.

i think 16psi? nick will know.

Where's scotts? Might be on my way home as well ;)

hampton park.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
