whats fast/fun, four wheels, <5k and not a nissan? kgo

90s Prelude or Integra...

But if you don't mind old, one of the greatest / most fun cars I've ever driven, was a 1989 Prelude. Would buy one brand new if I could. So comfortable/functional, so much visibility over the bonnet (like a Porsche) and they handle ridiculously well (beat out Ferraris and Porsches in a slalom at the time).

Anyone who has driven one will tell you, the four wheel steer is awesome...none of this HICAS shit, it's actually useful. You can turn into a carpark on a 90 degree angle and going around round-a-bouts feels like you're in a boat (good way).

Alvin, you still need old computer stuff? I've got 2 old printers, like some multifunction or something along with a hub and router. If not, do you know any recycle computer places in the west side? Forgot it was garage cafe tonight... :-/ So what's the verdict, emo or skyline???????

no printers, only agp/pci cards and cpus.

7 turbo has a smaller rear housing than the 8MR turbo, thats all the difference is, but its cheaper to buy a second hand 8MR turb, than a new housing lol.

i think 16psi? nick will know.

Where's scotts? Might be on my way home as well ;)

hampton park.

    • I'm not defending Haltech. They had some golden years, but their history of problem products goes back a loooong time before that and now. My bro-in-law swore off them 15 years ago. Same stuff. Firmware bugs, patchy tech support complete with total ignorance of what was going on. Doesn't mean that there are not 5 or 6 other excellent options - most of which were also born in Australia.
    • mines a bit too fresh of a build, need to put more km on it before im ballsy enough to go further
    • I agree their STREET is limited in features, but both their RACE and PRO models have everything you could possibly need (I.E Knock, Built in EGT, Built in Wideband, Dual DBW, etc.) It's also cheaper in comparison with anything Haltech has to offer and more importantly from what I hear it actually works well.  I'm a little bias these days as Haltech has really turned into a pile of poop lately.. I don't know what's happening with their firmware team but I'm thinking it's outsourced and their cutting costs. There's always massive bugs, they're not doing any testing, there's no revision control (I.E They acknowledged a few months back that they accidently released an unfinished firmware). It feels like they're being run by bean counters vs actual software & electrical engineers. They seem to be to busy releasing new products as opposed to fixing software issues. As of 2-3 weeks ago they started a beta program to presumably op the rest of the end users out of unwillingly testing firmware's. I'm happy they're starting to listen to all the complaints. Hopefully it gets better fast. 
    • Any plans to seal it from the cabin? It will throw plenty of oil/grime over the years. On my auto to manual Stagea there is a custom ally sheet  to cover most of the hole then the standard rubber seal is attached to that to join to the shifter
    • Shifter images as promised.
