Newnan meets

[h23bb2]

Damn it...another Subaru joining the area. Looks like it's time to start car shopping again. :(

Steve, you say they're reliable yet haven't all of yours failed at some point or another or is it the fact that the cars are abused?
To clarify, I've never said they were unreliable, just not as reliable as other performance vehicles. It's a car that you drive with the thought in the back of your head, "what will break this time"? Now I can honestly say I've yet to have a major mechanical issue with my personal vehicle.

Dads first motor: an injector failed. If a wideband was installed the motor would still be alive. Sad art is, his wideband was ordered but shipping was delayed andhe didn't get it in time. Honestly, a freak accident, but carnage was had:

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll1/h23bb2/2011-12-19_17-36-59_820.jpg

Dad's second motor was a victim of poor machine shop work and an accidental overboost courtesy of swapping BOV's and not realizing the OEM was leaking 3+psi. Not really a freak accident, but not a typical failure. The motor is being salvaged in its entirety and will be re-used at some point in the future (project build).

My motor: Hahahaha My "Go big or go home" philosophy sent me home on a flatbed. lol Mikey advised not pushing further but I insisted it be done in an attempt to break the pump gas td04 record. I was left with no record (record hot day for january at nearly 90*) and rod knock but only after relentless and merciless flogging. It was multiple highway pulls through 3rd and 4th gear that finally caught up to it. Better oil (Rotella T6 5w-40) might have saved it. With a normal tune it would still be running.

Dad's transmission: The 5spds are weak as hell. Nearly 300wtq will break it easily. It lasted through countless dragstrip launches at over 300wtq, street launches, half mile runs in FL, and countless pulls to 130+. Out of all the failures we've had, I'd say this was the only one that was "typical." Reliable? Sure, to an extent, but it ain't a honda....

[SHHHH]

Neat pictures!

[Theothersawyer]

That sounds like you have had some crazy adventures with the cars!

[smoknlegend]

I have actually thought about maybe a 5 series wagon or audi wagon as of recently, but anything german without a warranty scares me....

any input?

Otherwise my conclusion is my car choice for my price range is rather bland and boring.

dont touch them........... Audis and 5 series both suck for reliability

[roxie911]

If you're gonna get a German car (ANY German car), please make sure that it's something you can be dedicated to and something that you know you will LOVE. If you don't love it, you won't want to deal with the German price tag. If you love it, maintenance will still suck, but you won't feel as bad while spending your money because you know it'll be worth it in the end.

They're all gonna suck as far as maintenance goes. Even if they're "reliable".

[MeFryRice]

I wouldn't want to own an Audi without a warranty but the 5-series aren't bad as long as you maintain them per scheduled maintenance. Most people tend to lack the common sense in this department which consequently comes back to bite them in the ass yet the car is a shitty one in their eyes. :thinking:

[h23bb2]

My favorite story I heard was someone from Colorado ordered some $Texas coilovers from a certain vendor. Then being the cool dude he was....he initiated a charge back on his credit card. No call. No email. No contact. Just charged them back. If you didn't know, with credit card companies they almost always err on the side of the consumer, so Visa gave him his money back.



Well, Vendor X has some saved up frequent flyer miles and a couple of spare days. He then cashed those miles in an flew to Colorado. He went to the dude's house and physically unbolted and removed the coilovers and left the guy's car sitting on blocks. Then he returned to his shop which is in the SE of the United States.

Since Ron mentioned that the vendor was in the SE I think it was one I did alot of business with in Florida: Import Image. I just recently switched vendors for the majority of my business due to better deals/customer service.

The wait for the claims adjuster is going to be a long one :/

I'm expecting the Miata to be down for a month for some changes while parts come in. :ninja:

I know, they said a couple of days, but it's a waiting game and I just want to get it over with. It's hard to sit here and not research anything at this point.

[h23bb2]

Why is a waiting game? I don't get it? Insurance companies always veiwed the vehicle within 72hrs for me. Thats with three different companies..

[Schroeder]

Whatever you do, do not take it to southtowne to get it repaired. Fucking worthless customer service.

Because I've done all of the quotes from body shops, taken the pics, made a claim, etc...it's really just a saying. Waiting game. I'm just impatient...

I'll be doing them myself except for the paint. I have access to a couple of Miatas that I'm going to rob of parts.

i havent rebuilt an engine in a while. looking forward to putting this z6 on the engine stand.

sourcing a separate engine to install while i rebuild the current one.

[Bacon]

I don't know if I want to rebuild my old F22 or chunk it. Would be interesting for an F swap into a Civic.

[h23bb2]

sounds like a waste of time.... Sorry, but the truth is the truth...

[.blank cd]

Boosted F's can be insane.

[h23bb2]

No doubt. But the cost diference to boost an F vs an H is small and if he has to rebuild the F, he might as well buy an H with that money....

[Bacon]

Im not necessarily referring to a complete rebuild but merely a "spruce up" and swap. It's an interesting idea but Davis let me in on a little cost information associated with doing that swap into a Civic.

[h23bb2]

[h23bb2]

Well I'll be at work if you wanna bring them to me there or you can drop them off with dad at home??

[Bacon]

I may come down in the morning as long as the weather plays fair and drop them off at your house. If nobody is there I will text you with where I leave them.

[h23bb2]

[Bacon]

More stuff for my son. Want nothing more than that.

[h23bb2]

santa came and seen me last month and dropped off everything, but made work to get it; swapping stuff to and from the parts car.

what about you jojo?

[roxie911]

Nothing.

My parents get everything this year. They've gone through a lot these past couple of months, so they deserve it. I don't even want anything.

[MeFryRice]

I have no idea what I'm getting nor did I ask for anything.

[bbuba]

Getting a tv...

pulled....not rolled. and it will be the first with 275's on 18x10s which is why they need to be pulled

you said rolled/pulled... anyway... Why so wide? Is it really needed?

you said rolled/pulled... anyway... Why so wide? Is it really needed?

well i meant rolled and pulled. is it needed no but not spinning thru 3rd would be nice. plus the stance will be pretty sick

well i don't spin thru the top of 3rd but i spin in 3rd. and im talking with a buddy about a big(er) turbo setup right now so that's just going to compound the traction problem

e47- You must be doing your own 50/50 mix of "corn." If i had to guess (based on personal tuning experience), I'd say your doing that (versus straight E85) because you ran out of injector? What's the limit on the bottom end- 450? IIRC the pistons are forged so the rods are the weak link in those motors?
I've not looked into the EFR's but I've heard good reviews about them. Can you guys incorporate an external wastegate with the factory turbos or no?

EDIT: the pistons are cast. the rods are forged. IDK what I was thinking when I typed that....

EDIT: the pistons are cast. the rods are forged. IDK what I was thinking when I typed that....

correct...e47 is 50/50. well the lnf is di so don't really run out of injector rather rail pressure. the low torque spike commads our max rail pressure..2800psi...so the blend helps u cheat that. since it cuts the needed fuel down to apprx 15% more vs. 30% more on e85. if done right on a safe tune and safe timing....you can do 500 or more on the stock bottom end.....some say pistons are weak link...others say rods. one blew a rod at 609whp and had over 400 dyno pulls and 100 1/4 passes on the same stock bottom end before it blew that rod....but that was a shop car so go figure.

efr's are the shit:


http://youtu.be/2kKx5-UKEmc

efr 6758 on custom bolt on exhaust housing, full bolt ons, e85

i suppose u could run an ext wg on the stock turbo but no one has to my knowledge...really no need.

[h23bb2]

Is there an affordable solution to the rail pressure problem?
vieo is pretty cool. needs awd:D

[kiss_my_SS]

Is there an affordable solution to the rail pressure problem?
vieo is pretty cool. needs awd:D

affordable.....well there is a solution lol. so here is how it works...we have an in tank fuel pump and then a mechanically driven high pressure fuel pump that feeds off of a lobe on the cam. zzp the company in that video makes a cam with an upgraded hpfp lobe.....matt from zzp is running these cams in that video i forgot to list that. and they can be had for the sum of $850

there is another more complex solution that zzp has developed as well. adding a single 60 lb/hr injector in the im controlled by a progressive meth controller. have no idea what the cost of it is tho. zzp recommends the cams they say it is easier to tune for lol

[MeFryRice]

and why would you roll and pull fenders on a redneck special????

When I see SS, I automatically think of the F-body camaro which IMO, is a redneck mobile. I've yet to see a performance oriented built HHR. Do you have any pictures of yours? In the video, it appears those were built utilizing a CVT transmission? If so, has anyone found the limitations of this transmission?

[h23bb2]

as a tuner, I can understand.... Fuel volume increases with airflow not necessarily air pressure so the meth controller makes sense at first but there's a reason why just adding another injector as a form of tuning was stopped about 10yrs ago. lol
You running a fmic or is the aftermarket unit still a TMIC style?

haha gotcha....the tranny in the vid is an upgraded stocker, 5spd with 4.45 instead of the cobalt's stock 3.85 (i think) ratio. the stock tranny becomes a liability at around 450ft/lbs just have to be careful. now the hhr has a 4.05 ratio which the larger final drive creates less strain on the gears so i have a slight advantage. i will be going to the zzp stg2 with the 4.45's at some point.

not mine but mine is silver too

there is a guy running the cams and the extra injector putting down 541whp on a borg warner s256 @ 29psi but this guy spent an easy 20k on his entire build if not more. idk...it is a method that does work they (zzp) just says its more complex

the turbo cobalts/hhrs come stock with a fmic...tho it has plastic end tanks and gets heat soaked rather easily. i am running a tr10 treadstone unit...rated at 666hp and the core is 809ci.

What is your goal with the car? Simply go fast in a straight line I'm assuming?

[kiss_my_SS]

What is your goal with the car? Simply go fast in a straight line I'm assuming?

not necesssarily. i mean i don't autox or anything but just an all around performer. i will be doing coilovers and the wheels and tires, eventually a built motor and the upgraded tranny, upgraded brakes, bigger turbo. i want 500whp....be able to run low 11's (the possiblity of 10's is there but im trying to be realistic), have great handling and braking, look good and have a mean stance.

i may hold off on the wheels for a bit cause i found a turbo kit for sale with a pte5557 dbb with tubular manifold...complete kit for sale on one of the forums that i am going to make an offer on. if the guy accepts the offer the wheels will be on hold.

I know damn open deck 205's.... The bores are in fantastic shape with only 30k miles on it. I wanted to do a set of drop ins, but I just can't get enough miles out of a set. Especially if I'm not gonna machine the block and get perfect PW clearances....
The stock slugs should support the 350whp I plan on making. For awhile anyway. lol

Do it now or kick yourself in the ass later.

[h23bb2]

At 40k miles a year it wouldn't last but a year to a year and a half... I hope to build something next year (late 2012- early 2013) anyway so I'm not too concerned. I'll roll the dice on the stock internal 205:D

[MeFryRice]

With what you're doing with the car, I could see that. If it was a second car, that ~40k miles could spread over a few years.

exactly. I guess it wasn't until a few days ago that you realized how much I actually drive. lol

Since you were bitching about the cost associated with having to use synthetic oil in your old Redline, I recommend the Civic. It's all-motor and super reliable. Neither the Subaru or VW will fit your budget.


Bugeye

Shut up!!

Okay cool. Didn't want that to sound like an insult or anything. Been having vision issues recently and couldn't tell. I agree with the 16" size though. 15" just looks too small for some reason.

Something like that,these are first gen te37 so they are a little diffrent i guess idk... Nippon's are the ugliest te37 replica ive ever seen,the concave thing they have going on makes me want to rage.

I've seen a few Nippon sets and have to agree. I am looking at a set of either SSR Formula mesh or Work E-wings right now.

I may have found a set in 4x100 but that bolt pattern does me no good. The price for the ones I am considering is $1300 shipped.

Then again I also found a complete H22 JR S/C kit for $2k. :D

Be careful. They were designed for 5th gen preludes and to get them fitting properly in a 4th gen prelude was challenging and required alot of time with a big hammer or other "special tool." The accord bay may or may not be more forgiving when it comes time to make it fit properly.

[Bacon]

I knew the issues with the s2 manifolds but wasn't aware of the issues with the S/C kit. Damn. Maybe a set of cams then.

MeFryRice: Uh, and how do you know what my "budget" is???? Also, I don't remember "bitching" about having to use synthetic oil in my Redline. Thanks for your opinion but it won't be accepted from now on.

[h23bb2]

i think u did complain that the cost of synthetic oil changes were one of the many factors that contributed to you having to part with it (i know there were others that were more prominent).
i think by "out of your budget" he was implying proper upkeep and maintenance can be extensive and/or pricey IF synthetic oil changes are effecting your budget. i know your much more financially stable now so your situation is completely different. i agree though: for affordability reliability and practicality the shitvic is your best bet...

[MeFryRice]

You did bitch about the cost of synthetic oil. If you can't afford synthetic then you shouldn't be buying a forced induction vehicle.
I also recall you posting numerous times about wanting to come out to the meet but couldn't because you didn't have cash for gas...

MeFryRice: Stating that the synthetic oil changes are expensive and "bitching" are 2 completely different things. Yes, I did say that the cost of premium fuel was stopping me from coming to some of the meets but that was over a year ago and I was either unemployed or not working a lot of hours. I also lived in Meriweather County at the time and the drive was further then I wanted to drive. I no longer live in the state of Ga and have a position in the Army. I recieve a paycheck every 1st and 15th. My "budget" is no where as small as it was over a year ago.

Based on your post history, one can only assume you're in the same boat unless otherwise noted. I'm glad to hear you finally have a steady paycheck to get back on your feet.

I couldn't resist responding to this..

For the majority of people out there, the car is the 2nd biggest investment aside from your house...and the wife and kids. So even though you're asking for advice on buying a specific car, it's still a major financial(and more important than which one is cooler/better/whatever) decision based on your current/future pay. My observation is that you have a wife, 3 kids, and judging by the length of time you've been in the army that you're still around the e1 pay grade(correct me if I'm wrong).

I'd be buying a civic and would be more concerned with affording my children being that they get more expensive as they grow up.

Then again, what do I know?

:surrender
I know the Army was different when I was still in the military. They would promote you if you could tie your fuckin shoe laces right twice in the same day. So by that you can't base pay rates in the Army strictly off of Time in service.

But on a side note I was thinking the same thing as Fry when I read Bacon's post. I remember his "Assumed" financial state prior to when he was Military and assumed the same thing as Fry. I don't believe it was a put down, just throwing in his opinion based off of previous "Facts".


Just my .02

[05IONREDLINE]

Only reason it has taken me so long to purchase another car is because I was in Basic Training and then AIT. I didn't get here till August and had to put money towards things like getting a place to live, turning on utilities, paying for my wife to drive from Ga to Va and then to Washington State.

If my budget wasn't big enough to include certain cars I woudn't have listed them. lol

I am an E2 until February and since I have a wife and 3 kids I get a little more then the single E2 soldier.
