Argh fucking Falcon BCM's

How hard would it be to wire in a manual boot switch toggle because the boot wont open anymore i have to open the back seats

Also windows wont go up or down sometimes and resetting the ecu by taking the terminals off the battery only work for so long

Fuck going to the locksmith or dealer to get this fixed any ideas?

Gonna get my jeep back on the road next month and my Dunnydoor hopefully soon

>>16393677
Depends on how you want to go about it. Dump some money into a silvertop and headers, intake ect and you have a nice roaring naaa

Or you can go turbo. Turbo has more potential for power but NA is arguably cheaper

No pics. Full leather and wood trim interior. All options like LSD and stuff.

Nah they're sick. Manual ones are fairly cheap. Auto ones are really cheap. One of the lads is trying to find one

>>16393733
No shit. You have to exaggerate every movement in a driving test. That's basic shit

>>16393733
Mate head checking is no joke i remember to do it on my test and passed first time

Thing is i didnt do it until i almost got into a couple of accidents while merging/changing lanes and i never not did it ever since

Mirror blindspots are real dood.

just do some neck stretching exercises

>>16393735
>All options like LSD and stuff.
Does it have the M steering wheel and sport suspension? Style 5 or style 37 rims?

>>16393733
Checking your blind spot is essential mate. Shit can hide there that you will somehow miss in your mirrors.

>>16393721
If you dont leave the suburbs, you'll be right. Just gotta remember to fill up everytime you drive past a united servo.

>>16393744
Thing is you can't see shit if you do that in my car, literally all you get is a big fat face full of upholstry because the divider between the front and read side windows is nearly a foot wide.
The instructor got out and demonstrated the "blind spot" by standing in it, but I could see her in the rear vision mirror better than by turning my head..

In a driving test, exaggerate your movements. Once you've got your license, set them up correctly to remove your blindspots.

Nah 530 is M60B30. 3L V8. So smooth and sounds amazing, makes fuck all power tho.
Plan is do the mechanicals that need doing, fit a wicked stereo, lower it a tad, and cruise. And a respray. We have other cars to go fast in

>>16393794
>3L V8
That was my second guess but a 3L V8 seems like such small misplacement. Oh well.
>Plan is do the mechanicals that need doing, fit a wicked stereo, lower it a tad, and cruise. And a respray.
Sounds like a good plan. What colour?
Also as for the stereo there might be some fucking around. You'll probably have to bypass the factory amp which is hidden somewhere in the boot.

>>16393800
Nah its all good we've figured it out. Can be done no worries

>>16393793

aside of pleb mechanics - not having a clamp on that hospital tier vacuum hose. you understand what happens to your shit if that hose fails?

What needs doing?

>>16393833
>you understand what happens to your shit if that hose fails?
It defaults to 75psi rather than rising rate which is still enough for the injectors to do more than 1500cc

>>16393860

-Exhaust
-Tune

>>16393872
baller. whats the need for the aftermarket regulator then?

>>16393883
Noice

>>16393887
Rising rate adds extra fuel pressure when boost is added, so in this case 75psi base + 22psi = 97psi of fuel pressure.

More fuel pressure means the injectors can flow more, so in this case they're doing something like a possible 1600cc ish before rising rate and 17xxcc at full boost.

Not really needed right now with the small turbo and factory intake manifold, but later with a big turbo and better flowing manifold it'll start using up more of the injectors

fair whack of normies there but once i get my shitboxes back on the road they seemed pretty chill.

Any point in using 95 petrol in corolla?
Which years models benefit from it and which have no difference from 91 petrol?

>>16393970
I would if I had an intimate knowledge of cars, cunts at work just lose me when they talk about all the shit they've done to their cars.

>>16393986
not unless you run a tune for higher octane or the ecu knows what octane you're running through it.

Personally its a waste of time and money for daily driving

Sure OKAY 95-100octane gave me alot more power but 91-95 is more common and i dont notice much of a power reduction tootling through traffic

Pro tip go out on a cold night and you'll get a nice power increase because the air cooler and denser
>>16393995
You dont need much knowledge

Hey Falcunt. How ya doin'?

Those of you here who have more than one car and live independently in a major city, how the fuck do you do it aside from being rich? I'm trying to find a place to rent, and everything I've been looking at either has no space for an extra vehicle, or is disgustingly expensive.

Have looked into house sharing with someone else already established, but nobody is willing to give up a garage space, and those that do have an extra space spare don't like that I have two cars.

>>16394754
I'm doing exactly this, but am sharing a unit with someone in the Wolli Creek area in Sydney. Salary wise I guess I am living comfortably; personally I don't feel that owning cars I just trash on weekends is really that expensive. Flatmate doesn't own/care for cars (lucky me) so I get the garage space under the building to keep one car. Could technically keep one of them on the street but don't want to put either car outside because I don't trust these citycunts so I store one with my parents who live a few hours away and swap them around on occasion.

China bought out the city years ago so I know how hard it is to score a unit that has parking and doesn't charge a shitload in rent.

>>16394799
Sounds miserable living in cities now I haven't even been near one in 2 years so i assume slots changed.

>>16394807
Coming from a far more rural area, I hate living in the city and I get out of it every single weekend. My opinions here just apply to living in Sydney.

Too many lebbos.
Too many asians.
Overly aggressive drivers.
Automatic oversized hatchback SUVs with fullehsickloud exhaust systems screaming between apartment buildings doing double the speed limit at 2AM on a road that is so narrow you can't pass an oncoming car being driving by aforementioned ethnic groups.

When I leave a window open at night I hear a crash at least once a month.

Also red light speed cameras everywhere.

If good money actually existed in my field outside of the city I would happy move away. I could endlessly rag on about things I am not a fan of here. The city life just doesn't suit the town pace I was so well adjusted to before.

>>16394799
Seems like you scored a good situation for yourself. Little bit jelly.

I dunno man... it's just fucked. I've got a couple of options in Brisbane. Find a place for myself that will house two cars with no issue. That's going to cost me around $400 per week in rent though, and I'd rather pay half of that to be honest. Or I continue looking for a place where someone is renting already and ask them if they'd be okay with having one car in the garage and the other on the street. It's made a hell of a lot more difficult by the fact that I don't know anyone in Brisbane.

Really tempted to just say fuck it, drive the weekender down to Tassie and leave it on the farm with the parents for a couple of years until I'm making enough to be able to effectively own two cars.

>>16394836

>>16394455
vic rules summary:
>25+ years old

>logbook must be kept with vehicle at all times
>log whenever you drive more than 100m from home (or wherever the car is garaged)
>can log up to 90 days in 12 months or some shit

I've seen plenty of cars on club plates driving around alone on weekends and shit, but the 90 day limit means you can't daily drive it for very long. Still plenty for the odd weekend cruise outside of official club activities, or short-term use as a second car if your main ride is out of action for a few days.

>>16394754
don't try to live in the cbd or near it, if you want cars fuck off to the outer suburbs where rents are lower and there's more houses/units with decent driveway space (or if you're in sydney, just fuck off entirely to somewhere cheaper)

>Find a place for myself that will house two cars with no issue. That's going to cost me around $400 per week in rent though, and I'd rather pay half of that to be honest.
Why not build on this idea and establish a share house yourself?

Move into a place and then advertise for a couple housemates or whatever to fill the extra bedrooms

Not something I'd do personally though, can't stand being around strangers that much.

Another idea might be renting a separate place with a few mates if you're there long enough to get that kind of crew together - lease a shed/workshop in an industrial area to store and work on your weekend rides

Could also look at a storage places but they get expensive and probably aren't big enough to split

>>16394931
>Why not build on this idea and establish a share house yourself?
Did consider this, am still considering this as an option actually. Never lived with strangers before but I'm willing to give it a try.

>Another idea might be renting a separate place with a few mates if you're there long enough to get that kind of crew together - lease a shed/workshop in an industrial area to store and work on your weekend rides
Don't have any mates in Brisbane unfortunately, I don't know anyone there and the people that I'll be working with are kind of all nu-males. You know the types... cyclefags, weekend video gamers, etc etc. I'm pretty willing to admit that I am a bogan and finding common ground with nu-males is difficult.

>Could also look at a storage places but they get expensive and probably aren't big enough to split
Mmm, have myself a storage place for the first month or so I'm there just to keep my shit in until I find a place to live, but that'll be unsustainable long term. $450/month for one out of the city, close enough to work, and large enough to store a car.

When it comes down to it, I'm just too much of a poorfag to have two cars and live independently. Obviously I need to get it together, get a better career, make $200k/year starting with a math degree.

Just wondering what's the consensus on BMW cars in Australia?
Are they considered for poor people? Are the repairs of a German car expensive? Are they expensive? Is there many of them in there? Are they considered high-class, do young adults like to drive them and is considered as a "must have" like iPhones if you want to be like the "cool kids"?

>>16398081
The same like the past 5 new years resolution:
get a girlfriend
or atleast try.... again

>>16397754
Depends on the model. New ones are bought by middle managers who want "Euro class" because they're brainwashed into believing that a base model European car priced the same as a kitted out domestic or Japanese car is somehow so much better.

E36's and E46's are bought by hektik habibs who think that having a 15 to 20 year old BMW makes them look like they're balling. Except for perhaps the M3, they're still kind of expensive.

Lastly, models older than that (E30, E34, etc) are bought by genuine enthusiasts or people who want to have fun.

>>16398081

>>16398081

>>16397754
>Just wondering what's the consensus on BMW cars in Australia?
People who can't afford them hate them. Plenty of folks in base trim 2 and 3 Series around.

I'm hacked off about no 3-door M135i sold here, only 5-door and I think they're all in auto.

>Are they considered for poor people?
It likely depends on the condition of the vehicle. E30s are regarded as classics now and prices are going up, but normies probably just see some old BMW. Most I've seen on the streets are in good condition.

Personally, I like the design of the E36 and E46.

>Are the repairs of a German car expensive?
From E9x onward, yes.

>Are they expensive?
Fairly, compared to other commuters of equal performance and comfort. Granted even our base trims come optioned out with luxury shit. BMW is marketed as a premium brand here.

They also depreciate pretty hard and a lot of the new ones are just leased by shitters.

>Are they considered high-class, do young adults like to drive them and is considered as a "must have" like iPhones if you want to be like the "cool kids"?
Sort-of, but even if you've got a new 3 Series people talk shit about it behind your back. How you must be compensating, or how much money you wasted that could've gone towards paying off their faggy arts degrees, etc.

There's no sense in buying a car to impress cunts here.

Also note that anything that applies to the 2 and 3 Series here will also apply to the Audi A3/4.

Just don't get one of the gutless base models. You need at least a 323 not to be associated with those cunts.

>>16398298
ironically even those little base model 1.8s can beat the GT86. i bet a 316ti could probably corner better too because of that sweet short wheelbase.

>>16397754

Australia really didn't get any of the good sport models until the mid 90s so BMW was primarily a luxury brand. Those luxury cars are worth nothing after about 15-20 years.

The only BMW's that are worth something in Australia are the recently bought ones or those that are now designated classics or significant sports models like the M3.

A good example is the E39

The E39 540i is worth around $3500 to $9000 here. The E39 M5 is still a $25,000- $35,000 car.

The same is true of AMGs and all of the other European sports cars.

>>16398330
The price for E30s is just incredible. Anything that isn't the basic 318 can go for a lot.

There are some pretty valuable E39s going around such the M sport package ones and E34s are just beginning to get some attention. Obviously the M3 and M5 versions will be the most expensive but some older ones are becoming classics. The most flogged and common BMW I see around these days is fucked up E36 318s and E46 318s.

>>16398372

>You could get an E46 M3, if you want to pay the premium for one. Don't really ever see habibs driving those.
It's getting hard to find them. I almost thought I found a genuine E36 M3 for a fair price a few weeks ago which was a single owner old man but it turned out it was a 318is that he'd put on a M3 bodykit, M3 wheels, M3 steering wheel, M3 door sills, M3 badges and even some fairly rare M rain sport seats. The moment I popped the hood though it was just a 1.8L staring back at me.

Yeah, you'd forget about anything E30 related now. Dollar for dollar they just aren't worth it and that's coming from someone that owns two.

If I had to buy myself a cheap BMW I'd be after a E36 328i in manual or an E39 540i.

If I had like $20,000 I would be looking to buy:

1. E24 635i
2. E36 M3

Also, the E34's are moving out of scrap-tier stage now. A year or two ago gumtree was full of E30s and E34s just being given away for fuck all, now it's all E36 and E39 stuff.

I used to see some E34s going for well under $1000 but over the last year I'e been seeing even basic ones like the 520 and 525 go up to about $3000. 535s (especially manual) are seeing a pretty good increase, I saw a manual 535 go for about $6000.

No, AE86's engine has been stronger than ever since giving it a thrash in Sydney. ECU still kicks it in the nuts sometimes but I'll fix that when I get to Brisbane.
>>16399164
Possibly.

>>16399147
Hate to tell you m8, but rebuilding it to cope with more power/torque isn't going to make it more or less prone to hamfisted abuse.
I reckon it's the operator in this case that needs upgrading, not the gearbox.

I went for a drive with BLDC and some mates of his. CIHAN wasn't hosting a drive day at the time.

Do have a photo or two, but given that there were quite a few non-/o/ people, not sure of whether it would be appropriate to post a picture or not. BLDC did earlier on anyway, maybe you missed it?

Think I can get a decent shape wrx for $15k?

is $13500 stock 2004 one too much? One owner, 90k km

been watching initial d and it makes me want to into riceboy.

I've only ever owned auto econoboxes

Can't even drive manual yet but the car I will get will be. I'm sure it can't be that hard.

What else would you guys recommend? been looking at mx5s, mr2s too

>>16399533
Get an evo. Likly cheaper for what you get and far less thrashed due to no wogs.

>>16399498
yeah nah let it rip most people here have seen us on youtube anyway

>>16399546
Is it normal for Evo's to be in automatic. I'm seeing a few.

Also what sort of KMs am I looking at for around $15k?

To the people here who actually know what the fuck they are talking about and don't ramble shit, how did you learn everything you know?

That's fair. Will admit, some people in this thread are bloody strange though.

Figured out that it must have an LSD. Both wheels spin the same way when it's jacked up. Really "clacky" though.

>>16399607
Might be time for to change the diff oil. Do you have the service logs or anything for it?

>>16399607
Did you put resistance on the other side? A trashed open will spin both in the same direction if there's no load on the other one

95% of people here know fuck all, myself included.

The ones who do like AussieMuscle, BLDC, and a very few select others is because they actually work on their cars.

>>16399533
Lift the clutch until the revs start to drop and you start pulling forwards, that's the biting point of the clutch, add some acceleration while letting off the clutch all the way and you are driving, the rest will just come with some practice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoBnwKu5g5U

why ausfags are so stupid?

>>16399580
I know shit about my cars and bikes. I parrot on about others and make generalizations as that is all I can do

>>16399612
No service logs, only what I've been keeping so far. Getting one of these with an accurate service log is like finding a needle in a haystack.

>>16399618
Just did. With one wheel still on the ground, I can't spin the other at all.

Should probably mention that at 110km/h engine RPM sits at around 4k. Which seems a tad high for a standard diff.

>>16399656
I'd say open it up and change the oil. I'm not 100% sure but I think it gets done when it was imported, when was the 86 imported? A rebuild can be costly so just try and get away with that.

Enjoy the smell of liquid death when you drop the oil

>>16399533
You've been using the same WRX image for weeks now. There is no cheap RWD in Miami.

>>16399663
Not him but is there anything different to changing the oil in an lsd and an open diff apart from the oil used?, is it just a matter of dropping the drain plug then refilling?

>>16399394
Nah I like my old vx as much as I'd like to upgrade to the 6 speed auto im fine with it because as old mate already said I couldn't afford a decent one.

My local mechanic is ok it's sitting in his spare garage out of the way for a month or so until I have the dole saved up hahah
>>16399421
Honestly I completely agree

I'll stop banging on about it it's all sorted now go back to talking about nip cars n bimmers I'll join in

Everyone here keeps talkkng about the sc mangtec. Is it worth getting a commo with one since they're all auto? Any problems with them?

>>16399663
Was imported late last year by Iron Chef, so if you're right it would have been changed.

More maintenance will be done once it gets to Brisbane... just has to make the 1250km first. Already got a quote for getting the gearbox rebuilt, and trying to find a decent body works there to get some minor rust repair in the door sills done.

>>16399757
Gearbox destroyer extraordinare here.

Apparently the 4l60e is the one you build.

But it's I'll equipt to deal with V8 and 3800sc power stock as you can see.

Just get a manual with a decent box and dump a quality clutch in it

>>16399757
Yeah, still worth it. I'd personally look for a cheap donar vehicle and do a T5 conversion. But as with any factory forced inducted car, power increaes are cheap enough and you'll be sitting on 250-300rwhp without too many issues which will give you enough go to hang with or see off mildly tuned XR6 turboes. Combined with the relatively lightweight VS (if you go that route) would make for an entertaining drive.

You should weld the diff and get a bodykit. It will look fully sik.

How well would a stock 3800 hold up if I threw the mangy sc on it?

Any ideas on what to do with my Toyota Avalon to spice it up a bit?

What are some suspension mods to make it handle better and what size wheels should I put on em.

Got any recommendations for style too?

Did the AE86 owner attend UOW at any point? I used to see one identical to that parked outside the campus all the time. Spotted the owner with the car once wearing a "BUILT; NOT BOUGHT" shirt.

Should put a OTR from a LS onto your mangtec

sounds like a fucking turbo its hilarious

have you ever sat in one?

They are fucking TINY

If your not a manlet its going to be a very uncomfitable car.

>>16399931

I'm reasonably sure there isnt one within 100km of me, so nah. manlet, but probably not enough. Back to utes it is

The origin of that block can be traced back to a 5L V8 first deployed by Buick in the 60s, so technically it's a 5L running on 6.

>>16399927
Looks pretty tidy man. Going back a damn long time now to when I last say that 86. I did actually snap of shot of it since I reckon that two tone combo is the best (and it makes pandafags mad).
