what's next?
you should sell your mugen goodies separate i think hehehehe
damn i sell and everyoneone sells xD
While our car is very good, it is also very pricey for what it is.
At ~28k on the road, that puts us in the same price range as Evo's up to an Evo 8, STi's (bug eye) any S15, and many other things. Hell, for the money you could buy TWO R32 GTRs.
Wow another member moving on. You going to separate :) ?Quote:

hahaha not much to separate, the exhaust is gone and only got injen and mounts left so basically still stock specQuote:

get some independent witness detail and call police to report hit and run.
try to get a name and address off police if u can then report to your insurance.
For me I wanted something thats not too old and not going to depreciate as much as those cars will; I believe that because our car is P plate friendly (and because its the only JDM car Australia will see apart from private imports), it'll hold its value close to what we pay now. The car also has a well set up chassis and is still built around the idea that good handling and a light curb weight make for a highly effective package on the twisties.Quote:

There are times where I doubted the car when I first got it, seriously wondering whether I had made the wrong decision but the car (mainly because with no camber, any kind of cornering creates positive camber relative to the road and therefore I was getting lots of understeer). But now, getting it set up right, it's great.
All that said, you have to admit, 12k for a GTR in good condition is a ridiculous deal no matter what.
what happened Steve? sold it already??Quote:

Yeah that DC5 is a beast.
apparently 999 is doing an event on Sat arvo so i might go down to have a look.
I'm deciding btwn Tein SS & flex. Not too sure with SS as you can't change the setting but i've heard quality and ride is real good. How's the ride? Soft?Quote:

the only thing that Flex can adjust that SS can't is the length. With Flex you can keep the sussy travel while u adjust height but on SS when u adjust height, travel will reduce. however i can't lower too much as the mid pipe will scrap if i reduce further.
the other main diff is the spring rate, Flex is F8k/R10k while SS is F5k/R9k.
SS ride is good. half stiffness is close to stock and full soft is very soft (mine is JDM spec, not sure about Aust spec Teins).
heard alot of storys that ss are really soft, prob ok for daily but track it and they'll fail
haha i'm old so it's fine for me.
seriously i never track my car b4 and for the very rare occasion that i might in the future, soft sussy is the least of my worries.
hahah LOL phil to much oversteer might break ur back haha
haha that's y i drive FF lol
back in ur mx5 days though :P
but you knew only old farts and hairdressers drive MX5.
its engine is piss weak anyway hahaha
quick question fellas, where can i get a front bar from?
MX5 SP has got enough shove!Quote:

Gavin can't get in any at all.. gave me about a pageful of numbers for people that would have em too.. ie. ProConcept, BuddyClub, IS Racing, etc and he said Larke Hoskins would probably be able to order one in but it'd cost an arm and a leg. So i think ordering from Honda would have to be my LAST LAST resort.Quote:

Hey guys! new to the forum. Just activated my account since i found the password to my email account. Quick question, Recently went to hanny's coz my engine light was on and the verdict was that i needed to get a new 02 sensor. Peter said it would cost about $400 for a genuine honda part. Was wondering if anyone has tried an aftermarket one?
Yeah...after market ones dont work....
My mechanic tried that on a EP3 and told me not to go aftermarket...
i think it cost $360 from dealership anyway
Oh serz. Guess i gotta go genuine. I tried a mates s2k o2 sensor. It worked for about 5mins then the light came back on. Well thanks for the info bro!
YIZ23R....shut up hahahaha..finally took you long enough to get on the forums
yeah it was a hit and run but luckily some crazy bird feeding guy was what happened.
I had a look at www.japanparts.com and its $500 odd for the front bar + shipping so its about $1k. SSSUUUUCCCKKKSSSS
Hey YIZ23R,
Definitely get the genuine one. I wasted a lot of time sourcing aftermarket primary O2 sensors which never worked. Robert from Hanny's in the end ordered me a genuine one and hey presto, the engine light disappeared. Quoting Robert, "Nothing beats genuine!".
On a side note, does anybody know if Fully Synthetic oils are good for our engines? I'm just concerned if its going to make the engine run more rough. Super Crap Auto are having a special on Castrol Edge oils atm, so I just thought I'd ask.
I have used castrol edge 5w30 and 0w40 and both are fine.
Thanks p3p5y. Just asking around since nothing beats genuine honda prices either :P. icecrm, did the police find the culprit?
hey boys,
my car is coming with some retarded home made front mesh grill.
wanted to replace it with oem plastic grill just wondering if this would fit?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03...Q5fAccessories
cheeers,
Haha that's what robert keeps telling me everytime I go there with something aftermarket to installQuote:

:thumbsup: i have like 3 bottles of castrol edge 5w30 at home i serviced it myself with some help of the guys and man tbh it ran so so much bettter much more smooth and just overall feel good!! :thumbsup:Quote:

i'm so JDM my rear sway bar is 22mm. i want that on a sticker.
That sucks. I looked around for after market ones and all I could find was a 16mm from ultra racing.Quote:
