Have been thinking about what you guys said the other day.

Current plan:

- Sell ZX for as close to $6k as I can get

- Buy daily for $3k

- Sell Supra for as close to $16k as I can get

- Buy MR2 in Victoria. Modify it until I'm happy. No matter how long it takes or how much it costs

Does that sound like the way to go?

Might have to drop the price on the ZX again... It won't even sell for $6k. The market is f*cked now. I just want it gone though.

That style of rim has been and gone funky. Had the advan model 5's which look similar to that in 2003 lol

yes kris, thank you mr finger on the pulse. that's why these rims have been sold out across most of japan for the last month after being released in january this year.

shit's selling hotter than crack cocaine.

sounds like the best revision of your plan so far. sensible at least, you've got a car you're passionate about and a decent car to drive around in.

word of advice, spend more on a newer daily that's prone to less faults/breakdowns. esp if you plan to build your MR2 slowly.

I'm sorry but why an mr2?

Just personal taste really. I love the unique shape and the fact that they're semi-convertible (targa top).

Mid-engine RWD in a fairly light car is also a great combination. The handling is very good.

Other cars just don't it for me :( Just like some people here prefer 32s over 33s or 34s. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What would you suggest as a daily? I don't care how girly and embarrassing it is. I'd prefer a smaller car and good fuel economy is a must.

Mitsubishi Mirage? :)

Lol didn't say they looked bad

proton satria GTI, vw golf MK3, civic, micra, starlet... anything really that's small and sub 1.8L. the newer the better.

just sayin they're not as out of style as you may think. Also Advan 5's don't look like that nor do they come in that sorta fitment.

Cheers man :) That's a good list. I'll have a look on carsales now.

Do you know any dealers that would let me trade in my ZX? Would be so much easier than trying to sell to all these boyracers with no money.

offset :(

:)

Lol should I post a pic of my car standard with the rims? It don't look too bad! The kit makes it look more fail offset haha.

Also where I live now I can't lower it anymore too :happy: I scrape to f**k going in the driveway and already getting cracks through the front bar lol

car is going in for another tune soon jezza. Getting a de cat put in and more boost. Need to also get it tuned a bit richer as it leans out quite a bit on very cold nights

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
