really? are they roomy on the inside?

i wanna get a Galant VR-4 [the old one]

They are good , rallied one to 3rd o/r in the state championship in 1992. Bit heavy but surprisingly quick and anything you can do to an evo lancer , you can do to a VR$ ( except lose weight )

Joe they are small and uncomfortable and feel like they have about as much power as the new corolla. No one at the toyota dealership liked them. Maybe im being harsh but not what im into.

Im driving my favourite car matey :P

So many cars how do u choose a favourite - there has to be a price limit or something to narrow it down!

its got huge brakes and 4wd too.

Brakes are no bigger than a line and it weighs more than a GTR.

Gearing is so high , it will fry the clutch b4 the tyres.

Hmmm , yea . trouble is a lot of the exotics ( Lambo , ferrari , lotus ) may look good until you have to live with them for a while.

Ever driven a Lambo countach and you will know what I mean, crap clutch , useless aircond , no room , engine fries your back in traffic .

But that wail of 12 cylinders in full cry ....... tissue !

Joe , I did Targa in a Porsche 911.

haha Kens viagra :P

hmm if i had all the money in the world i would have no clue what i would buy - yeah those european fancy wancy cars are nice eye candy but I have no desire to own one - i have a heartattack everytime i have to leave mine in a public carpark - i think owning something like that would send me to the loney bin.

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
