hey guys,

as mine is up for sale, and you all know the story by now im looking for something much cheaper to get me around for the next few years.

i've set myself an absolute limit of 5k, and mainly looking at VL's with a few little mods, but im fairly open minded, but here are the main things i want in the car.

doesnt need to be fast at all(but i wont mind if it is lol), just a nice cruiser.

needs to be clean both inside and out.

km's dont need to be low but for something like a commodore nothing over 250000kms

would prefer something local, i dont want to have to travel to far to get it.

and of course air con and power steering etc

and preferably just an auto.

so if you can just keep me in mind if you see something with the afformentioned details i'd really appreciate it.

i've got over 4k in the bank so i could buy another car now, but im not sure if i want to buy one before i sell the skyline, there is a really nice 93 commo in the paper today thats immaculate with only 180kms on it, i've had a long chat with the owner and got him down to 5.2k, so its quite tempting....

thanks again though guys,

Andrew.

i've made him an offer of $3600 and he accepted, (the car is well worth it too), i took it out yesterday evening and its really nice, good stereo, manual, and pretty much immaculate all round, and once stirlo and i attack it with some midnight purple paint its should look fantastic! (as much as a VL can) i've got over 4k in the bank so i think i might buy it now, and wait to sell mine, as i dont think i'll find anything much better than this and will save myself the hassle of more searching.

now the question is, do i spend the extra $1400 i have left over from my budget on the car? probably either paint, 18's or $600 on some nice 2nd hand buckets>? (the car needs buckets im so used to being "held in" in mine) i think i'll spend a bit of it on paint and just save the rest, after all thats the whole reason im downgrading, to save.

tell me about it, the damn "high performance race tape" being directly next to the rear left wheel, has given that wheel an extra 20kw, so every time i snap a gear the car kicks violently sideways! i should have just bought ordinary duct-tape!!! :headspin:

i think i missheard you though, did you say "dont" do anything to it? its a freaking car, its supposed to be modified!! who buys a car without the intention of crazying up the paint, slapping big rims on it or making it pump out fats beats at an stupidly high level??? NO-ONE THATS WHO!!!......*goes and buys paint just to spite leech*

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
