2012 accord euro.. better looking than both of the above
https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Honda-Accord-Euro-2012/SSE-AD-4068156/?Cr=74

I think that era of accord is the way to go.

And that one comes with sick subwoofer

[dezz]

That was the only thing about the ad I didn't like.. Unless it's some old nob trying to appeal to young cats, in which case I'm fine with it.
I'll refine the search down to accords and see what's around.. Current search criteria narrowed my search down to 9000 cars... There's no category to filter out ugly cars

[dezz]

Any common isssues I should know about? My mate has a 2004 (I think) 6sp manual as his daily.. A lot of the ones for sale are auto, I could go either way if there's no common problems with the auto

These 2 and the full sick subwoofer one seem alright.. private seller would be more likely to drop on price compared to a dealer...

Also, i drive passed those country mcmansions on a big empty hill and assume its always galeforce winds up there, plus heaps of noise from the freeways.

And birds, if you planned to capatalise on R33 prices once americans can import them, why spend all this money on a barrys build?

The barry build was started before GTR prices went nuts; I'd already spent the bulk of it before considerations of selling. Truth be told I'll probably swap a stockish RB26 back into the car when I do sell, and move off the dirty 30 to a drag nut for not that much less than it cost. I mean, as GTR prices go up so do their parts...the 26/30 will probably be worth more than I paid for it, if not already. About 6k has been spent thus far; long block form with sump. Not uncommon to pay upwards of 10-12k+ for one assembled by a known workshop.

Found out how to make power with the STI, seriously though I wonder what point or power level it becomes worth an engine swap, surely a 1j, 2j, rb swap would cost you shit loads. Unless you're going for 1000hp +, just build the ej

[emts]

did you do a dyno run stock and after your "stage 1" mods?

 

[UNR33L]

nah stage it's just a off the shelf map for now, next step is to add some more mods and get a professional dyno tune 

[emts]

you sure it's not stage 1

Looking for an intake for 2009 Honda Jazz. Anything from a known brand is like $400 for a bit of silicone hose, MAF holder and air filter. But space too tight to make something up yourself. Honda mods be criminally priced yo

[TiTAN]

No sharing?

[UNR33L]

Usual mods are exhaust / intake / dyno tune at 18 psi good for about 200kw at the wheels, no Ford barra or coyote power i know.. adding flex fuel 230kw but decent torque increase

ok so need to do a service on my ute, decided to try out sparesbox.com.au as seems much cheaper than the usual places.

for over 50$ they have free delivery up to 15Kg

to get all the fluids filters and such I want was apparently over 15 kg (mainly as 2x 5L oil bottles) so was 30$ delivery.

 

so instead did 2 orders both with 1x 5 l bottle and some other stuff, ended up with free delivery anyhow and they now have 2x delivery costs....

 

good business model

[UNR33L]

That's fair stupid of them not to pickup on it.

When is next deca? is it still a thing?

Nice, I might have to go.

Ever been to the venue? didn't know it existed 

[Birds]

Is that the old HART place or near it

New DECA sounds great. Super excited to see what can be done with the back track.

This might kick me into gear to get pulsar out.
