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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
