ae101 / ae111 levin.. quad throttle bodies + 8800rpm = symphony

my old ae101 - miss it badly. handled like it was on rails, 500+km to a tank on hard driving, parts are fairly cheap, easy to work on.

can they be sourced locally? aren't they like imports?

Gratuitous plug, I am selling it, I am in WA, it does need rego but it sort of fits your criteria and its cheap.

There are a stack of cheap fun cars on gumtree.

I even saw a RB30'd KE70 unfinished project.....

you could pick up an old mitsubishi cordia with a 4g63 for under 5k if you can find one, or a galant with 4g63 ( the turbo ones) , cordia is old put if you picked one up for say 1500 you could boost it up or bolt a garrett and an intercooler on..

or pick up the old celica supra 84 model for 3k and maybe swap the engine for a v8 or turbo supra motor for a few thousand more, even a vl turbo engine slotted in would go hard

haha are you from thommo?

this thread asks for "FUN car under 5k"

lol f**k off, im from lalor.

are GT starlets under 5k?

what about SR-V pulsars (the ones with the SR16 engine)?

SSS pulsars are already at the minimum 5k in perth :(

tons of normal starlets but no GT's for sale either

that looks really nice to me .. although if i was to buy something like a civic id prefer an older/cheaper one ..

http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-Honda-Civic-VTI-94-W0QQAdIdZ310806290 like this!

theres also this e30 .. looks to be in great condition

wouldn't it become expensive to keep sending it to a bmw specialist for servicing etc though?

i dont know much about bmw's but ive been told they get expensive to maintain ..

no idea but i thought BMWs needed more $$ for normal maintenance ...

im just doing some research on other peoples 120Y/Ke rolla projects and see how much theyve costed them, if it doesnt seem to expensive im really quite keen on the 120Y, i dont mind waiting around till a good one pops up

if not im probably sold on the hondas - just need to decide out of civic/prelude/integra

its usually people who have not owned beemers that say they are unreliable and are high maintenance cars. i thrashed my e30 jps for ages and nothing broke. sold mine for 3.5k with a short ratio box, lsd and reground cam.

s1 s14's are cheap nowadays as well.

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
