jdmst forum, where they do nothing but hellaflush, meet in carparks and play with remote control cars.

Good job, save up for a real car not some homo honda with stupid offset wheels and camber that does nothing but ruin the car

Well, I currently drive a civic but have done NOTHING to it, stock as a rock - seriously what's the point? JDM is so....pointless.

Anyway. anyone know why 2000 or 2001 black GTTs (manual) are so hard to find? and, say, can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much a total stage 1 tune as specified here, will cost assuming I have a stock car? help appreciated and thanks in advance!

including ecu, quite a bit - examples;

exhaust may be $600-1k

intake - fark that, leave it as stock box but change filter to something decent. $100

boost - go with an electronic boost controller, can probably get one for $300 or so

ECU - anywhere from 1-2k for ECU, then tuning time.

all in all, not cheap.

I've got a 33 gtst with exhaust, new panel filter and boost controller on 10psi and i'm running 190rwkw at full song, albeit with massive rich and retard in the middle (goes nuts once it's past that though). installing SAFC to smooth that out.

By no means is it the quickest car out there, but for the road, it's more than enough - you wanna stay on the good side of the law.

I like you already, just like my V6 accord, smashes little rice boys in their worked Civics, Integras ra ra ra.. I just leave it stock, it's great the way it is.. I have my fridge, I mean R33 for the mods

Fark that.

Chop springs.

Speed holes diffuser rear bumper.

Sticker bombed panels.

Stanced.

Then hardpark that farker.

@cpd thanks for that, easily another 2k on top of the car + any other things which need fixing up at the time of purchase. damn. better hope I find a cheap one/one that doesn't need too much fixing!

@MBS206 funnily enough, after deciding I wanted a 34, tried to find my copy of GT5 just to have some fun and......cant find it. can't even practice. sad.

@b00bs hahahaha. can't wait to get my boat. will be bigger than your fridge!

@ tai1or made - yeah....don't really understand much of what you said.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
