S2 for 17k next to Yamaha World on South Rd overpass, at the VW Car Yard opposite the Mazda dealership.

S1 for 11k in the small car yard right inbetween Adtrans and the Fire Dept. at crn South Rd / Daws rd.

meh - Id rather a Stagea ;)

1997 Stagea's can be had for like 15k onroad freshly imported. Generally with around 80000kms etc, twin sunroof, AWD, most are auto tho.

Plus I highly doubt youd be harrased by the LAW when driving a Stagea ;)

this one's for you Nozila - the LAW thinks a Stagea is a cheap-mans Volvo! :D :sorcerer: :D

Yeah looked over most of the car sale sites and trading post and local paper. Got one lined up now :)

Vange, mate I just noticed that you have an external wastegate. As in screamer pipe?

no idea, have a look next time and tell me, the exhaust place got all excited (when i first got car got new cat)when they saw some tube coming our of the turbo and connecting to the exhaust pipe n they called it an external wastegate lol, so im assuming its somthing good.

Sounds good mate just make sure and keep looking around anyway as you may find a bargain, also make sure they do all tests on the car to make sure its all good.

no i dont think youve got a screemer pipe you would know about that

and isnt your turbo stock?? therfore your wastegate would be internal

im thinking just a fancy dump pipe

here is a pic :)

the top pipe goes around the exhaust pipe and re-re connects about under the gearbox.

also the turbo looks diff from others...i dunno lol, the rust doesnt look normal either! haha

    • Do the R32s run high or low impedance injectors?
    • It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time
    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
