>worth 2k
and? What am i in the buiness of restoring cars lol im just pissing around having fun with it.

>>16628894
Cunt why not just part it out and put it in the trash cause its a shitbox

>>16628894
how do you blow reverse gear?

if its manual, just put it in reverse and then start the car

>>16628907
Clutch fucked too?

>>16628907
Didnt.

First day it was in mechanic told me reverse syncro was destroyed.

So i did some research and it turns out its a common issue with the stock shifter (Long throw) not engaging fully POSSIBLY but its only $200 for a good short shifter vs a whole new box/recond so ill start with that.
>>16628911
Brand new clutch but reused flywheel

>>16628913
does it grind when trying to put it in gear? you should be able to slot it in reverse with the car off, start the car (with the clutch pedal depressed obviously) and reverse as per normal.

If you cant put it in reverse when the car is off (you might have to rock the car back & forth) then investigate shifter.

i assume you've done all of this already but just in case

>>16628922
Yeah me and the mechanic tried everything EXCEPT the shifter level itself (didnt have a short shifter because didnt think i'd need one)

Yeah it goes into reverse when the cars off (begrudgingly) it feels like a linkage issue or something because when the car is started it wont engage reverse (clutch on) fully and when i looked online apparently its easier to just pull the box out and redo it if a short shifter doesnt help engagement

>>16628913
so you bought this box without a thought of checking the condition of it first?
God you're a fucking idiot.

>>16628937
it came from interstate you fucking mong what am i meant to do?

Oh i know ill fly down to Melb next time just to look at a gearbox.

>waaa just go to the local wreckers
nah as ive said all ex-skid shit

>>16628932
Fuck m8 thats bullshit, i'd fly to melbs and throw the gearbox through the sellers front window.

Can you swap another stock T56 shifter onto it? If that doesn't fix then yeah box out, not fun but not the worst job in the world

Dunno what else we could have done since it had to be in a car to test.

Its HPW out of Smellbourne so if they chuck the shits maybe some of you lovely anons can go take a shit on the owners lawn.

Gonna look at the Reverse lockout but i think mines working because it doesnt lock me out

Whats the point of getting an LSD such a KAAZ or other clutch type LSDs when you can just get a spool or weld the diff?
Even for a daily, wouldn't an LSD that locks up be the same as a welded diff?

>>16629291
depends on what you want to do, i guess.

>>16629291
Wouldn't having a locked diff cause axle twisting and tyre skipping ?

Parking and tight turnaround circles would suck a cock and chew through tyres

Want to drift. Would a clutch type LSD chew through tyres and cause stress on the axles like a welded diff or not?

Wouldn't get a reconditioned diff because they go open after you skid them too much.

>>16629328
If you want to drift, why are you worrying about hurting your car?

>>16629343
Because it's my only car and it's my daily. I don't want to hurt the car if I don't have to.

>>16629356
Then don't drift it.

You're gonna bin it into a wall sooner or later so but a track only beater and learn in that.

For your budget I reckon mini spool + 4.11 + short shifter and fuck it into the road.

Spool is real predictable once it starts sliding.
Can be a pain till it lets go.
Lived with one for a while. Just keep skinny wheels on and you shouldnt bend your axles

Sooooooooooo

My reverse is still picky but not bad enough that its entirely unusable.

Gonna sit on it for a while and keep driving.

box is a bit notchy and shit in forward gears but feels pretty stronk otherwise.

Will report back when i get a short shift kit

>accidentally drifted with my fwd shitbox corolla
Wtf /dat/
I have been told I cant drift with fwd but it just happened and it just had to happen in a busy intersection while I was turning right
Ofcourse I dont have ABS so when I smashed the brakes I was attracting even more attention with the tires sound.
>tfw tried to drift on purpose but cant repeat it when I do it on purpose
How did I do it?

>>16629291
A KAAZ or equivalent 2-way is better than a locker as it dampens the shock loads on half shafts which means you won't snap them nearly as quickly.
It also means that in carparks and such you won't be chirping wheels unless its stupidly tight.

Well worth the money if you have it.

Thing is I can stretch out the budget, and if I do i'll take the LSD off and use it on an SS once I'm off Ps.

>>16631826
Yeh that's what I keep hearing, spools and kaaz LSDs are really predictable unlike helical gear type LSDs.
I've got a set of fat 9.5 wheels that will be going on the car eventually.

>>16632196
yeh I do have the money. when parking or doing tight turns I can just clutch in so that it open up?
Do you think a 2way would be alright for a daily though?

gday,

im a p plater who has been saving for years to be able to drive an import/turbo car. i decided on a GTiR, finding a nice one is hard enough. insurance is fucking impossible. ive called up RACT who said no for under 25s with turbo, AAMI wanted 18k A YEAR with a 4k excess and valued the car at 5000. then they wanted 5 grand for third party insurance. RACT implied they wouldnt insure me for 3rd party also

i dont understand how i see so many p platers driving imports and turbo cars. now that just car is shut down i feel there really isnt an option but to wait until im 25, good cond GTiRs are hard to find now, imagine in 7-8 years time.

i find it a bit hypocritial where they have no problem me driving a 2017 commodore which makes more power than most 90s jap cars but imports that make less power are considered 'high peformance'

any advice on insurers would be extremley helpful

If it's an automatic walk away. Your abused P's shitbox is redeemable, but an automatic AU is a potential grenade waiting to blow up and kill your wallet.

>>16634041

Get a commo or falcon to drive and buy your import to wank over it while it sits in the shed as you wait.

Or get an registered NA car and do an aftermarket turbo system then drive till it gets defected or you lose your licence.

>>16634238
It's auto and to be honest the Mirage is a walking timebomb/cop magnet as well. Only needs to last a few months till I get the other car fixed and I'll flog it off for $300 to some block owner who wants a bush basher for their kid.

Go and see how Shannons treats you. Try and convince the cunts that you're a "90s Jap shitbox aficionado" and not a speedboi that wants to go fast. I'm pretty sure evidence of membership in clubs and shit counts for something with them too.

Granted they also cater to boomers too, so they might be just as wallet-rape happy. But there's at least a chance of negotiation there.

Fair point, both seem to be total shitheaps. You can gamble on the AU if you're jonesing to cruise about on the boat.

No it isn't. You only legally have to have CTP which is included in your registration. It's perfectly legal to drive without third party or comprehensive insurance, it's just not the smartest thing you can do.

That's because a 2 way daily is the same as a 1.5 way is the same as a 1 way is the same as an open.

As a local of Bellingen (not Coffs where you're actually from 40km north) I'm fucking sick and tired of every time I come to this thread to enjoy a bit of comfy, you're here trying to garner sympathy like a child with you bullshit stories of woe.
One drive through Bello and you'll see at lease half a dozen greenhouses just from the highway. If you wanted work you'd have gone to each one of those with a resume and not given up until you had work.
But apparently you've done that, which begs the question, why haven't they offered you employment?
Either you present yourself like a scumbag or otherwise sabotage yourself so that you can look in the mirror and lie, telling yourself that you did your best. Or you are somehow alienating every single potential employer you've met in the area.
Id bet on the former.

Seriously mate, go fucking sort your life out, or do me a favour and stop associating yourself with my home town you absolute fucking garbage human.

If there's one tip I would give is don't actively look for things to bet on. Bet on sports you know about or have a good tip from someone who does. It's the reason I lost the money I made in betting (Started with $10, no big deal). It's the same for me in poker, I get impatient, despite being able to shit on other people when I play properly.

>>16635439
To give you an idea of what not to do, don't bet o U18 international soccer qualifiers between Turkey and Paraguay. That's the sort of shit I'd bet on when I was getting impatient with the bets I'd make money on, where only a few games would be played a week worth betting on.

Best place in Melbourne to get a cheap respray on a car?

Complete respray from yellow to glossy black.

Pic unrelated.

>>16635106
fuck makes me wish I kept my VseX commo and chucked in a cheap LSA (knew a guy from holden)

parents would've skinned me probably. have enough in savings to move out but not enough $ p/w to sustain it.

Thinking about getting a WRX STI for 55K new, What's going to perform as well factory stock with AWD/RWD nowdays?

>>16635453
I also want to know this
Also does anyone know a decent brake shop in Melbourne? No garage so can't do

>>16635469
VFII SSV redline

>>16635489
Just came from a Commodore and am prefering something that's not either Ford/Holden

>>16635467
Oh sick dude. You knew a guy from Holden? He could just take an engine off the production line and leave it for you to chuck in? Get fucked, your mate damo at the service centre doesn't know shit.

LSA wouldn't fit in a VX because of cooling and the tranny tunnel. Not to mention you'd need to upgrade everything else to withstand it, e.g. brakes.

Don't be a dumb cunt and quit living a fairytale.

>>16635501
WRX STI isn't great value at the current moment. I'd wait til something new comes. The WRX is great value, but the current-gen STI doesn't justify it's price tag through features.

If you can afford it and the spinal surgery you'll need before you sell it a couple months before the warranty expires (don't keep this car past the warranty), the Focus RS would be a good option. It's a head-turner and you can get I think 70/30 RWD bias, because AWD can get boring real quick.

The Golf R is a cheaper option that is more refined but I feel like it'd bore the shit out of you.

>>16635642
and by refined I don't mean it in the poofter car reviewer sense, I mean it in that the suspension won't fuck you over big time when you drive on Moggill Rd.

Do you reckon it is worse to park the car under the tree so the tree sap kills the paint or is it better to leave it out on the sun?

>>16640004
tree sap can be a real cunt to clean off. theres still options, maybe just buy some clear coat touch up paint and apply it. at this point you've got nothing to lose.

for $1000 you could get supplies to paint a car yourself with a compressor too.

>>16640244
Have done so

Can be hit and miss depending on what you get. Generally you will come out a little cheaper than you would buying locally. But optimally you either want to take a look at it in person or get a broker to look at it for you. I used Iron Chef Imports.

There are also other oddities as well that were Japanese market only, if the car is old enough it doesn't really matter but you might get picked up on it with a post-1989 car. Stuff like centre high mount brake lamps on the rear weren't standard there, a lot of cars there seem to have funny "press button" seat belt releases rather than the push down from the top things that are ADR approved, shit like that.

GENERALLY the cars are treated better there but you can come across some dodgy ones.

Is this how dumb the new generation is?

my sisters friend wanted to buy a car the past weekend and when she went to look at a Holden Cruze she asked me to look at it for her. The car turned out to be a total shitbox but she liked it because it was clean and new looking. Instead i made her look at a different car

She ended up buying a 08 lancer by my suggestion that didn't appear to have anything wrong with it. It had only done 180k. Was this a good suggestion? because i recommended her an I30 because i knew she was going to do zero maintenance on it but she didn't want that

>>16644527
Brutal.

I've been lucky so far. A sixth sense for undercovers and speed traps has kept my record pristine.

>>16644542
Not yet. Will be going for 30 days soonish.

What happened? I got caught driving several times. Driving is something I'm not allowed to do.

In PA, you get your license back form suspension one point away from suspension. Got 12 months until 3 of those 5 points go away. Only takes 2 * 10mph over tickets in a year to suspend your license.

...and if you actually get caught driving suspended, that's a year suspension, right there. Happened twice in a week. Kept driving, got caught 5 more times since. Mandatory jail sentences each time from here on out.

>>16644542
And furthermore, I'm suspended until January 5th, 2023.

WOOHOO!

>>16644560

Here in Aus you can get 30 days in gaol (you heard me) for driving without a license.

I imagine if you got caught 5 times here you'd be in for a world of fucking hurt.

>>16644565

>suspended until January 5th, 2023.

Oh wow.

>>16644589
I got caught 7 times.

At least it doesn't take just 2 speeding tickets to suspend it.

>>16644560

Fuck man that's heavy.

Under Australian law if you exceed 12 points you can elect to go on a good behavior period. During that period if you get 2 or more demerit points you'll lose your license for double the original suspension period. In case the original period was 4 months.

I was considering driving but just taking it easy as not to draw attention. But I was told that the cops will scan your number plates and if the computer alerts them to the fact that the owner of that vehicle has a suspended license they will most likely come after you to check if you're the driver.

If I go to jail, I lose my job, can't pay for my finance therefore my car will be repossessed.

P plater here.
Convince me not to buy an FC and buy a Civic instead.

>>16644964
Buy the FC.

>>16644964
Do you want a fuel efficient, reliable and non-cop bait car?

>>16644964
Just follow your dreams, bro. As long as you're willing to learn how to take care of it and keep it running, I say go for it.

If you're just after how it looks get an EXA instead. Significantly easier to maintain while having that classic wedge feat. popups look.

>>16644565
Are you that freedom fiu cunt
>>16644653
Probably financed his car with iq points

>>16644715
Even if it weren't illegal I'd feel inclined to slash your tyres for the safety of everyone around you.

>>16644715
I don't get it, what is it?

>>16644964

Buy both.

You'll need the Civic to fetch parts for the FC.

>>16645080
You must be fun at parties.

>>16645083
Some done-up Evo in the States with expensive aftermarket projector headlights.

>>16644964
get the FC

Civic a shit

>>16645257
>doesn't even have offroad tyres

>>16628862
What is the fuel economy like with a rotary?
say 12a, 13b and 13bt?
I hear talk of people getting shit milage however online ive also seen discussion where people say they get 300-400km from 45L.
I know thats pretty crappy but I could live with that in a worked car.

>>16645353
Depends what's done to it, depends what car it's in, depends how you drive it, depends what your commute is.

Friend's dad used to get 120km out of a full tank. But that was a peri port 13b n/a screamer.

Whereas a stock 13b driven normally will do a lot better.

>>16645383
i was thinking if i were to get a rotary i'd keep stock ports, if turbo FMIC, up the boost (rebuild with various oil and water seals to accomodate that).
probably to be used a few days a week commuting to work and as weekend car.

>>16645412
What series? FC?

Newer turbo makes a big difference too. Something small but efficient, as the stock turbos on FCs are not very good.

That and heat management is your biggest friend.

is it worth converting your NA car to a turbo for the experience of building something from the ground up or just buy the turbo version? I would like to build up a car to be fast.

>>16645542
no

>>16645543
Thanks for the in-depth answer dude.

>>16645546
I could go into detail but I won't. Just buy the turbo version.

>>16645556
Should I upgrade things I can swap into the turbo version later on?

>>16645560
Sure. But if you buy a turbo version it may already have those things done

What car?

>>16645568
Mazda 3. I have the SP25 but I would eventually like to buy a MPS and make it into a quick daily. SP25 is quick enough but I just want to hear turbo noises.

Got you covered Broseph.

>>16645568
Hey m8, whats up

Haven't been on /dat/ in weeks, anything new with the tree30

>>16645574
Just buy an MPS man, or if you want a project engine swap a cheap older 323 with a BPT.

>>16645579
I've seen this more times than I've seen my wife naked. It has to be the funniest thing on YT.

>>16645586
>no wife to see naked
>tfw seen the lads naked more often than I've seen women naked

Should I just turn gay?

>>16645583
Yea might have to, My car has very low kms how old it is so i'll probably keep it for a few more years then swap it for a gen 1 or 2 MPS, unless they release a gen 3 MPS thats AWD.

what do aus peeps think of the DC5 integra type S 2005 model. I know one for 8 Gs....

>>16645588
Yea you're probably better off desu, At least go fuck a tranny so you can feel titties.

>>16645592
What's the catch?

They're pretty good cars. Fun but entirely livable as a daily driver. Insurance might fuck you in the bum though.

>>16645579
Look where the spud has grabbed the rim when he was mounting the tyre

>>16645579
