+1 would review Birds food because my life is empty and I have little else to do.

Also I am known to do stupid things like drive very long distances to try random things which no sane person really would.

Also 2x HWP cars ignored me hard on the way home from frankston, as did a booze bus after making eye contact with the guy deciding who to wave through or not, on Springvale road.

This means something will surely explode tomorrow.

I have never met you but I will gladly invite you into my home for a small meal and share my overpriced scotch with you

abouts 1 years tuition at a catholic high school.

and the homoerotic scars stay for life.

so $2-5k I can get around that

but as for a guy that drives a pulsar calling me ghey... that could be an issue

Yeah around there. Longer wheelbase, better screwed together WRX ;)

I paid $1600 for the current car with 3 months NSW reg still on it. Was listed at 2k which was stupid cheap already for how neat a car it is. Got him down less a couple of bits I didn't want/already had(Boost controller, Wideband 02, WRX seats). Parting out the 2nd grey one made me enough cash to pretty much have covered the purchase price of all 3 and half the fruit I've bought so at this point the car owes me bugger all with a nice spec list.

Prices seem to move around a bit. Couple of months back a bloke I know moved onto a 4th gen STi and sold his white RS with all of the usual handling bits, coilovers, sti 4.44 box/diff basically everything except engine upgrades for 3.5 which is ridiculous. Another bloke I know has a grey one currently for sale for 6 iirc. Not so much handling upgrades there but has V3 STi engine/box/diff VF23, GD STi seats etc.

There was apparently 964 ausdel RS all up. ~500 sedans in 92 and ~250 each sedans and wagons in 93 and obviously considerably less now. So there's always some demand for nicer cars and a lot of the RS nutters expect them to jump in price in future but I'm not too convinced. There's also likely a few hundred Jap imports Most common are Legacy GT wagons and most seem to be autos far fewer JDM GT & RS sedans and even NA variants like my VZ. The Jap cars are better specced if you want luxuries but all ausdels have cruise control, foglights etc with the only options being ABS, Sunroof and very rare leather.

Miguele raises the used car salesman bar in VWL.

also, GTX28 equipped Golf R is pretty quick. wouldnt be cheap, especially with DSG upgrades. but 10.6sec pass is quick

shame the owner went for stage 3 pack instead of just buying the parts outright.

    • 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 👌
