hey all, i'm looking for a runabout car, need it pretty soon... like end of the month kinda thing.

looking for anything rear drive, fairly cheap to run, reliable, ready for rego and it's gota be cheap! like under $1000 including rego.

looks aren't important at all, dents are ok, wheels and tyres can be shit but i need it to go thru rego pretty easy as i dont have the time to do any work on it. it's only gota last about 3 months while i have my stagea off the road for an engine swap. as long as it starts every time and gets me to work really. ANY rear drive car considered, just let me know if you have anything or know anyone with anything cheap

thanx all

cheers but it's gota be under $1000 including rego.... i'm tight as and if i was going to spend more, i might as well spend it on my little ford escort i have sitting here. also, the less i spend on a runabout, the more i have for my new engine. :):D:rofl:

also looking for rwd but if the right front drive car came up, i could swap it with my brother for my old 31, so that wouldn't be too bad in the end!

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
