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 might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
