- AE92 Corolla Seca or any model corolla for that matter

- Nissan Pular

- Honda Civic

- Charade

Cheap on petrol, reliable, easy to maintain and cheap to fix if things go wrong. You can get the above for anywhere between 1.5 - 3.5k depending on condition.

I see you have a NA 34 imo i wouldnt waste the money on another daily they are more than capable of having all the above things i just mentioned. I drove my NA 34 as a daily to work and put 35,000km on the clock in a year and a half. If you service it and treat it properly it will last just like anything.

seriously, they are a great day to day car. it doesnt matter where you park it. no one looks at it twice.

theyre comfortable, very economical, they have enough power to get you out of trouble, even great for freeway driving. 5 speed manual is the way to go.

My poor 34 hates being taking to work man ,

I'm a spray painter and all the paint dust its killing the inside and seats.

so I really do want a run about and with the new carbon bonnet I have on it i don't really want it just sitting in the sun all day

yeah i kno i NA with carbon hood LOL@me . . when I'm off my p's its be geting a turbo and so on

But for now I want to keep it in good cond .

so whats the going price for a 97-99 lancer ? is the 5k about right ?

This is very tempting indeed! :)

Never hard to sell either, further down the track.

mate just keep searching carsales. it pretty strait forward. i personally have had 3 pulsars. they are super reliable, EASY to work on, cheap for parts, VERY CHEAP to insure, and plenty for sale to choose from. you really cant beat them. also, if you can get a good condition sss pulsar for 5k, i'd grab it if i was you!!

one of those, ive fit a four person dining setting in the back and a weber. i flog mine and get 5L/100km great in and out of traffic people laugh but it goes great once you rev it. may only be a 1L but still smokes the fronts in first and second.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
