By your comments, I'm guessing Daddy bought your car, Daddy is paying for the insurance, and Daddy gave you $5 thousand to squander for passing year twelve or something.

$5 thousand, I would go and study overseas, I would pay off some university debt, and I would definatley spend some of it on driver training. I know you probably won't listen to this, but I hope you remember the advice you didn't listen to on this site as your car drives away on the back of a tow truck. Won't happen to you? whatever.

And I am being nice.

$5K will never buy respect brotha.

anyhow.. all be nice children!

Just some nice rims and a good bodykit for now should make it look good. Maybe spend a grand or two on the stereo and make it sound good. Good exhaust system. Don't worry about the performance items until you have actually driven the car regularly.

RB BOY just checked out ur pics etc nice car.........but ummm in the trial front mount picture its upside down.... if anyone here is goin to take u seriously how about not big noting urself as a mummas boy and just askin concrete questions.

im just asking questions bro, and tellin people there wrong, like about the insurance, one guy is like good luck on insurance i say i dont ahve to pay for insurance theres nuttin wrong with tellim someone that! so yeh aw well

mmmmm so ur another 16 year old who can drive like a proffesional... edin sennar sp* was a professional, but being young and nieve ill assume u ahve no idea who that is, im glad you drive now... it just says that ur just another temporary young australian with zero brains...

RB boy. How old are you?? Are you still at High school? And If you are not 1. why don't you have a job, or 2. Why are you not studying? How about you go out and earn $500 just to see how hard it is to earn, then you might have a little more respect for that $5 thousand, and you might spend it a little more wisely.

Have you ever even had a day job?

I've just had another brilliant idea. Why don't you spend that money on a VL commodore. Use the 33 for driving hot laps of the city so all the ladies can be in awe of your pimpness, and use the VL for all your actual driving until you crash it. Lets face it everyone does the dumbest stuff in their first car, and most VL's end up crashed anyway. Then, hopefully by the time you crash the VL you'll have some driving skills. Then drive the 33.

Ok.. I'm trying to be nice here...

1) Change your signature!! It does not make you sound cool, it provides people perception that you are just another reckless hoon.

2) Dude.. I aint australian, even I cant understand what in the hell you are talking about half of the time.. see quote.. Perhaps this is the reason why people are telling you to goto uni?

As to your 5k, I would suggest you to take a driving defense course tho havent done it myself. However I didnt not start with a powerfull car (I started with a 4 cyc and drove that slowwwww... car for 4 years).

The following is what I would recommend.

1) defensive driving course

2) front pipe to match the cat back exhause (as I am assuming that is that u have atm)

3) Another nice sets of rims (can never have too many rims. :) )

4) Nice set of coilovers

5) EBC

These are the orders that I would recommend however not all people would agree or would accept it.. the choice is yours. :) There is no reason not to have fun but within limits. Dont be another idiots that give all young drivers a bad name and reputation.

PS. Seriously change your bloody signature, if you want people to take you seriously and not a stupid reckless kid :D

Settle boy settle... give the dude some time to process all the response. :)

What the dude do for a living is non of our concern. He may well have a rich parent, in which case good on him. As to the VL part.. be nice.. :D Not all VL's ended up crashed, its not to say that I have ever had one or even consider having one.. :)

Alex,

It's a serious suggestion about the VL. Buy something cheap that you can bash up and not really care about that much till you learn how to drive was my point. And I am trying so hard to be nice. :angel:

edit: The only remotley narky thing that I put in there was the day job comment. I'll wait for a relpy. Why do you have to quote my rants Alex? Cut it out man.

Serious, somthing a little "sporty" (read has a nice note) somthing 3 or 4 cyl, and under 2.0lt. Yet somthing "newish" and isnt going to cost lost of money to fix if somthing buggers up.

GTI Swift

Lancer

Baleno

an so forth, any little hatch back.. they are cheap enough, cheap to run, some newer ones look ok... have good resale, some are "nippy"

Ok josh,  

serious suggestions for a s**tbox first car for our Bboy Rbboy.  And you can't say r31 either.

I would suggest a mantiz! daewoo mantiz!!!! They are awesome looking with a lawnmower engine. :)

I agree with Nismo_Boy a VL aint cheap to run. :D a mantiz.. cheap as chips. :)

As to the quote.. I'm slow on replyin all the time (cause I try not to project the wrong impression).. so quoting is the easiest way without confusing people.. or so I thought... confused yet? :D

Ok this is the last time I'm quoting you.. Mr grumpy.. hehehe :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
