non turbo silvias an skylines never hit puberty.

Pretty much anything will be better.

But hey, if you want one, get one, just make sure when you add nos you strengthen your floorpan as the last thing you wanna see is it ripping off as a result of damaging your manifold

apprently they're worse on fuel then skylines/silvia's, so i;ve been told..

skylines chew fuel faster, and have bigger tanks, the 4 bangers imprezza have smaller tanks and get roughly same k's its not all about the ks its about the amount of $ it takes to fill the tank too.

cops cant really get me for anything if i've got nothing illegal on my car..

and im not really into doing drifts, races, burnouts on public roads, thats what im mates bushbasher is for...

Cops Target Skylines and Silvias whether or not they are defective. If they wanna finger you, they will find some sort of defect in your car whether it be frayed seat belt,missing grill,no third brake light, or even smaller stuff. Just because they are not fond of the type of car you chose as a daily for driving to work.

And you can say "oh but my car wont have these things" and i will say "maybe so but they'll find something if they want to ;) "

And i re-iterate the part where i say "if they want to".

my n/a 34 uses about 11-12L/100km for driving around town .. if ive beeen out for long drives and lots of freeway action it gets to about 10 or so at best. not particularly the most fuel efficient cars.

if you dont want a falcodore cos their common, you prob wont be wanting a magna or anything of the sorts - but imo for your kinds of purposes they would be the best .. especially if theyve got LPG conversions. theres usually a reason why their common though - consider that.

my next recommendation would be something like a civic or as marc said a SSS pulsie .. but you dont like FWD

why? you've said yourself you leave the burnouts and drifts for your mates bushbasher - so whats the problem with a nice FWD car?

ive driven SSS pulsars and VTEC civics, i love em. their pretty good fun, and imo could well be more fun than my n/a skyline.

all mine does is look pretty and handle well and comfortably with a set of decent coilovers and good tyres. you could make a FWD handle just as well with similar mods, which you'll probably get for cheaper too!

oh and your eardrums will blow if you exhorst it - again, not the best choice for a daily.

and btw lol at the 121 bubble bros thumbsup.gif

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
