Pawel,

You could possibly sell the engine off eaiser than the whole car (with a swap for a stock engine). I would consider this in a couple of months. As I know alot of people get attached to their cars and want to improve their own, without going through the trouble of selling theirs and buying yours.

Just a suggestion, could be a quicker option in the long run????

Jeff.

1992, 5 speed, alpine cd player, might be jacked up (not sure) 83,000 kay's, sunraysia wheels, sports exhaust, and it's white and a soft top ( J top means soft top) and is an import.

whats your email, and i'll scan some pics as soon as I can

well i doubt you would be interested in mine.. but

1993 2.4 with recaro interior and auto

90,000kms

Widebody, rear spoiler, nudge bar & sunroof

very simple clarion sound system

3litre head

turbo smart boost controller

custom k&n cold air intake right into turbo

1000CCA high performance dry cell battery

---

coming in next 4 weeks

35% all round tinting

r33 top mount intercooler

let me know anyway.

fuel is very bad becuase I floor it all the time... but driving from qld to vic.. i was getting 500km per 60l but that was doing 130km the whole time... at 3300 rpm, where 100km/h is only 2000rpm.

rust not a problem at all.

when your buying if its a 3ltr u wont have a problem, but a 2.4 make sure its had head work. Also heaps of them are accident damage. Umm.. also, diesels last forever but cost heaps to maintain, so make you get a well maintained one or you will be in for big bucks.

Since having mine the main expense was the head.. then after that i had most belts and hoses replaced just due to age. Also a CV joint boot needed replacing but they break when something from the road flies up and hits them. Other than that I got a well maintained 2.4 with full recaro interior and it has been great and only costs $550 a year to insure (and im only 19).

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
