just got a text from a dude named byron saying he is willing to pay $7600 for the car asap

number came up as tegdfgdtged :wacko:

Hello

I'm so happy to hear from you because. I believe you've had some buyer's interested in buying vehicle from you but i think the best way to outbid them is by offering an additional sum to your asking price, I'll like to buy it from you a.s.a.p. for my Parent. But to start with,I will like to let you know i will be making the payment via PayPal because it's very Safe,Quick and Secure for both of us. I won't be available to come for inspection my self due to my new Job transfer . I have a pick-up agent that will contact you on where and when the pick-up will take place after have completed the payment,

I will like you to tell me a little bit more about the present mechanical condition of the Vehicle on how often do you service it and the history ?

Your quick response is greatly appreciated then i can proceed with this transaction immediately

Regards

Byron

so tempted to troll

04 WRX stis are pretty quick, one of the closer races i've had didnt realize they do a 13.2 stock :O

Not an STI, but stock WRX vs stock MR2:

And that's the heavy version of the MR2 with power steering, ABS etc. :P All the stuff I don't have.

I'd rip an '04 STI a new arsehole with my car too.

Lol let me guess, he wants you to send it to Africa or England or something. Those scamming f**kers piss me off!!

indeed, woke me up, the cunt

vicroads sent official gtfo letter yesterday, left a direct line to the managers assistant. should i call up and give it a shot?

are you sure you'd beat an 04 STI?

ive driven an 05 bog stock std wrx and it has more linear power and torque than my 200rwkw gtst

it pulls more in every gear and it would beat my car off the line

the skyline has more top end and it feels more powerful in the top end, but the midrange in the 2.5 Ej is awesome

im not convinced you would rip an 04 STI

I'm still pretty sure I would. My car isn't stock you know :P Pulls much harder than Kris's car used to (when it had 190rwkw I think?)

i think more tractive effort and lateral acceleration vs how much power your car makes

what diff gears are in the MR2 ?

ive never known an MR2 to be quick

not saying yours isnt, but have never considered them quick

They're not exactly fast (like a GTR) or anything, but still got a bit of punch. People expect them to be as slow as an S13 or something but they're not :)

The GEN2 MR2s were nothing to write home about, but the GEN3 motor made 182kW from stock. Not bad for a 4-banger that came out in 1994 and weighed ~1200kg.

I've got the GEN2 body (with no PS or anything) but GEN3 engine, so best power/weight ratio :)

Being mid-engine they're great for launching, just like the WRXs. Just dump the clutch and it grips like sand to a wet vagina :P

yeah but even a stock GTR isnt that quick either

weighs more with the 4wd running gear

have you done 0 to 100 in your car

Nah, I haven't done a 0-100. Haven't even dyno'd it. Once I get it all fixed up I'll do both. Shouldn't be too shabby if I put it up to 18psi.

And for the record, I'd rather have a built WRX over an MR2.. Better sound and AWD > RWD. Only problem is I don't like the boxy shape. I like sleek lines, and being slightly more unique :)

Yeah, I've had a guy trying to do the same to me... SMS/Email only, he's a marine technician off-shore but wants to buy it unseen, etc. I played with him for a while until he got frustrated (or maybe realised he wasn't gonna get any money out of me easily) and gave up :)

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
