I am still considering offloading mine. I occasionally get get exited but 90% of the time I couldn't care less and it just sits there undriven. I am no longer interested in track stuff so really it is the wrong car for my interests.

It can be, but thats because I have always been buying secondhand cars, so you want THAT particular car, I guess with new it is easier because you can get exactly the same thing elsewhere.

There was a kluger at the mechanics next door to work. Owners purchased it brand new. Had close to 200000kms on it in and was about 2.5 years old. Never had a service or any fluids checked. Engine seized up because no oil and the owner wanted Toyota to fix it under warranty haha

will you be buying new or second hand this time round?

Costs me half as much to insure the new car as the wedge. For about 2.5x the value and for regular use instead of 'once or twice a week'.

F*ck skylines.

No, I'm not selling the wedge :P

sell it and buy a VW beetle

We had one exactly the same at the old shop I used to work at

Except he had the 1000 check over done and thought that was it. Cars didn't need servicing to run

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
