The few cars ive driven with any form of tiptronic transmission ive been very dissapointed in, but they were mostly things like colt vrx's and stuff lol

i still think a proper manual is far superior :)

but its a decent compromise i guess.

Ill send the guy a fb msg n let u no thumbsup.gif

Yeah ive driven a v8 ford ute with a tiptronic thing too and it was really slow to react. I would much rather manual but if i cant find one i'll still be happy to settle with a tiptronic if its any good.

Jonno, you'll never buy another car lol.

Oh and tiptronic is for teh wimenz.

ill get there someday haha

got 2 VTEC Civics maybe for sale by some JDMWA members - but their only maybe for sale at this point - i have to try to convince owners after my exams finish thumbsup.gif

there havent been any manual EG's for sale on gumtree while ive been on exams - hopefully therell be some new ones by the time i finish :)

and brads 34 is tiptronic :P

Edited by Jonno34

I have now learnt not all auto 34's are tipronic, but i think most of them are. Still on the lookout and nothing is really shouting out at me yet. I think im gonna have to make do with a tiptronic instead of manual, which has pro's and con's like everything, but im not too phased by that really. I'd just be stoked to own one at all

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
