Get farked... I've spent more than enough money on this heap of shit.

 

Next mod is a new car.

Been hearing that since 2014

I've been having a little look online at fun cars, as the main dirt road that leads to my house has just been sealed meaning I only have to make it 500m up my steep dirt driveway into the safety of the shed.....

Anyway I am seeing a few prices dropping so if you are gonna sell this thing, make it soon while you cn still command a premium. 

Even Himmy was selling a modded 08 R35 for 85k or less. 

Yeah, I think no one in their right mind would give me $55~$60k for my car, although it would cost much more to replicate (once you factor in all the tuning hours put into it with multiple tables, scaling, etc.).

At present I'm looking at these options

  • 2019+ Skoda Octavia 162TSI 
  • 2019+ Skoda Superb 162TSI
  • 2019+ VW Passat 140TSI
  • 2019+ VW Golf R Wagon

In no particular order, just needs AEB, Lane Assist, Adaptive cruise and needs to be sub $30k & 70k kms.

Oh I didn't know more were coming, congrats my dude :D

As for the 33, you might not get 55-60k for it, sure, but would you get 40? Would that allow you to get a nice BMW? Dunno, but prices are moving and I'm seeing track/drift cars with built engines etc for back down around 20k rather than 40.



 

dont count out a newish turbo subaru forester.
I think its almost the perfect family/fun/space/luxury options car
do a few mods and they as quick as.
Only reason i got rid of mine was it couldnt tow the skyline lol

Buy a turbo Subaru to if you wanna support the only manufacturer that keeps short blocks in ready supply because they eat head gaskets and are shitful to work on. Legit, you can call up a dealer and get a new short block for 3-4k within the week because they're a stocked part... 

10 thumbs down.

ok :) each to their own I guess
Im only talking from experience of the 3 i have had all with no problems at all.
The 3 longest held cars ive owned out of about 27, each 3+ years each.
and one of the cheapest cars to insure, even with a shitty driving record haha

Always good and bad examples of every car, I'm fairly biased against Subaru's BUT that is anecdotal from all the stuffed ones you see on market place with blown boxes/diffs/and of course headgakets. 

Plenty of stuffed euros too and we all know how SR's/RBs love to munch a few bearings or how Nissan CVTs are absolute shite. 

Was gonna say this is a bit off topic but then I remember what thread we were in :D

@ActionDan thanks bro!

Yeah might as well just keep it in the garage, cbf dealing with 20 year old kids that want to offer $20k for it.

 

@Jasoncauser the Subarus might tick a few boxes, but the CVT box is just woeful. I cannot stand it, also they have fk all sound deadening too. I might end up with a 2nd Tiguan, who knows LOL.

I do want a station wagon though, can jam in a pram, esky and other shit for mini trips. The Tiguan, although "appears" big actually has a very short boot which doesn't allow for much.

Sounds like you want a Fuga Hybrid. Ticks all those boxes and has no vag

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
