I hate foot brakes. I really do. It's the only thing that makes me think twice about getting a V36 in the future. Depending on date I might be keen, can probably get Dylan to come as well, I know he likes to get the AMG sideways.

Manuals don't have foot brakes... Just sayin :P

V series aren't really sports cars (in my opinion) so manual is silly :-P I want a V36 as a daily and an s13 or E30 for fun. Soon, soon I will have money and not be a uni bum.

They're a mix between luxury and performance so you do find that there are some features you long for. Although, installing a hydraulic handbrake in one could be interesting.... :P

E30 with SR20! Do it!!

It is one idea. My criteria are simple for my 'fun' car once I can afford one. Cheap, light, RWD/AWD and I can fit in it with a helmet on.

You should be right in a e30. S13 may be a tight fit though. With my helmet I had about an inch and a bit from the roof.

I fit S13's fine. Never tried an E30. FC/FD is a no no, same with MX-5's. Old AWD cars like GC8V or EVO 5-6 interest me but they are significantly more expensive to start. May require less work however... I only want moderate power, almost any car will have more than I can fully use.

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
