Whats on your wishlist?

[CDGuy]

That's a nice list... It's too bad each one has a big price tag making them nearly unattainable. Why not a bone stock Rx7?

You're getting there in terms of my ACTUAL attainable wishlist. I only have a little bit of money saved, but that'll be my next route.

the only thing on my wish list is shakken

I had to google that, but now I understand, good luck Daryl!


My wish list......a chinook on a free weekend so it's warm enough for me to rip apart my engine bay and pull out my turbos before spring.
(for you non-Calgarians....that means all the snow melts and it can be like 15 above)

Then get them rebuilt (or buy new ones).

Then another chinook so I can install them

My wishlist begins after following Preventive Maintainance

New CV boots
New optima battery
New Yokohama Advans and touch up my BBS LM's

A/M Rad
N1 Turboes
Tein or some good street coilovers
ECU tune for Canadian Fuel/Nistune from ztune
Momo shift knob
New A/M floor mats
Recaro seats
Powder Coated Intercooler, Valve cover and Plenum
and list goes on.
Plan is to get 400-450 whp reliably
Got the money but no Time or a garage to do this...

I dont have a wishlist for parts, but I can attest to dreaming about quite a few cars (Flame suit: ON) which would in turn make me a fanboy, especially at this time of year.
Here goes:

BNR32 GTR V-Spec II N1
Mazda RX-7 RE Amemiya "997" kitted in beautiful copper red
Porsche 930 Turbo, Noir on Noir with Gold BBS LM's and flush stance
Nissan Silvia S15 widebody Varietta in 350Z blue with flush stance on white 18" TE37's
Nissan Fairlady Z S30 montego blue, gutted, RHD, black overfenders and race lip kit with black 16 inch Wats, with Integra Suspension
White 2003 Honda NSX-R with black Rota's, and mugen CF lip kit
TOP SECRET Drag RII (Or Replica)
Endless HKS Drag car BNR32
Veilside Fortune FD3S in all black
Audi RS4 in titanium
Audi RS6 Avant in black
BMW E39 (?) M5 in Silver
And a partridge in a pear tree.

lol wowww If you ever get that wishlist real you'll be one lucky man.

She needs new turbos? What mileage is she at now?

I believe she rolled over 120k kms before I parked her in October, might be a little less than that though. Rollie was helping me do some work back in July (installing the new suspension) and we had her up on the hoist. He pointed out some oil leaking down the down pipe, and then showed me where you could see the oil leak from above. It's a really small one, but the rear turbo's seal is leaking a little. It left a small puddle on my floor when I parked her for a few weeks in the garage this fall

So.....there are lots of options:
- Rebuild kit (seals) - cheap, but what if the exhaust wheels go in 20k kms?
- Rebuild kit (seals & ceramic wheels) - decently priced I believe, but....likely to fail in 100k to 150k kms again, and doesn't offer anywhere to go
- Rebuild kit (seals & steel wheels) - same price as buying greddy turbos, more laggy than the stock ones
- New turbos / steel / direct drop in ideally - laggier than stock, but will work with stock boost restrictor (I think?) until I want to upgrade, don't require additional parts
- "Going all out" - exhaust manifolds, dump pipes, down pipe, turbos, tunable ecu system, injectors, fuel pump, retune .... more than I want to do right now, haha.

I'm still happy with the stock power to be honest, I haven't found a situation where I wanted a lot more, but then again I haven't tracked her yet.

So....I'm thinking the best bet for now is to find some Greddy drop in replacements that will work with all the stock systems, and won't be much laggier than the stock turbos, but could provide more power in the future should I want to go that route.

So yeah, other than the turbos, she's running great. The new suspension is awesome, and I have new front and rear Cusco sway bars, and front and rear AMS upper control arms, front AMS tension rods, and an HKS turbo timer to go in sometime over the winter (couldn't get her into Rollie's shop to get them installed before it snowed unfortunately). Plus now I feel spoiled, having used Rollie's hoist / shop tools, and would rather trade him a case of beer than have to jack her up in my garage, haha.

I wish I could simply take my baby out for a drive. But thats not going to happen till spring, since she sitting at the side of my house with a 3 foot snow drift on her
