^This.

They are one of most hideous things on the road lol.

PS, now my mum says she doesn't want a soarer. -Rips out hair-

Criteria:

Under $15k

Non-depreciating

Must be euro

Must promote a "serious image"

Typical asian mum wanting the world for nothing -_-"

Looked at and turned down:

E39 540i with 160kms, would have been able to get for $12k. Was inspected, came up with $2.5k worst case scenario for repairs = $14.5k for mint 540i.

E36 325i convertible - roof slightly tattered on the INSIDE...

E36 328i convertible - $15-16k. Best E36 bar my M3 that I've been in - $too much

E36 328i convertible - able to get for $12k. Was inspected, came up with $3-4k repairs. Good pass on this. Engine wasn't too great.

V8 Soarer X1 - able to get for 7k. Didn't inspect, clunked hard into drive. Good pass.

V8 Soarer X2 - Perfect. Smooth, quiet and much faster than other V8. 170kms = can't buy. =/ $9k

TT Soarer - Piece of shit rofl. 5 Min drive = steam coming from under bonnet. Wanted $12k lol.

E230 W210 - 110kms, full books. $9k, cheap! A/C broken, needs new diff.. wtf

God damnit, I give up.

hahah I like noodles, my car doesnt handle that bad!, needs a wheel alignment really bad though, just pulled the front wheels off and there is like a 35deg wear angle on the inside edge of the tread.

Oh and if you do sell your car, I call shotgun!, just make sure the grasshoppers are cleaned out kthx

If you can't notice wheel wobble when you're driving it then how bad is 'not that bad?' You don't notice wheel wobble in a Cadillac, which are great fun to drive in their own way, but modern cars don't have the same feel. They should be precise.

For ye mum; 7 Series? Audis are good value too. Audi A4 Quattro? Some A6s around there too. An early A8 if you like petrol stations. The A4 Wagons look pretty slick in black with chrome roof racks. If you really like petrol stations you could go for a 1980s Mercedes SEC. Maybe a 500SEC? 560s are a bit more money.

VVTi conversion. I read a thread on it ages ago but can't find it anywhere. Apparently you can fit the VVTi gear to a non-VVTi Supra. Anyone got any clue who hard/much it would be?

Like I said, I'm planning to keep it closer to stock so the argument that the VVTi isn't as good for making big power is of no concern as if I wanted a 1,000hp monster I'd do it properly and put a 350 chev into a Fiat 500. Bolisimo...

The most I'd be chasing is 400-450hp 'one day.' But I want to keep it quiet on the highway so even that might be difficult. If I find myself with deep enough pockets for a full build I'd probably get a second one (or an NSX).

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
