  1. Got a 1gfe turbo is200 its 6spd and has alot of reciepts. Looking for 12-14k It does have 295500km but thats only chassis. And it is tidy as.
  2. If you dont mind me asking how much all up to do conversion with elecy cost ect? Thinking of doing away with turbo setuo and going ls1. :)
  3. Im going to post mine for sale soon soon too. :) Just incase you want to save the hassle and buy one predone.
  4. About 7k fitted tuned and mod plated. As apose to 1jz/2jz where it was going to cost me 7k in parts and my own labour and alot of time to do it. I boosted the 1gfe its sweet not crazy power but enough to have fun. The 6spd and lsd comes alive with a single flywheel conversion and HD clutch aswell.
  5. you still got the old engine? I see your in qld im keen to buy ?
  6. hey mate how are you going with this? I live in Qld and also work for Toyota haha, I have just purchased a 1ggte and I currently have a 1gfe turbo is200. Are you swapping in the whole bottom end? I cant find much on the net but it seems a lot of people just swap the internals into the 1gfe block. As far as I have read it all bolts up to the car and box only need to change the sump to the 1gfe one (good time to tap the oil return) , but I can find info on if the timing belts fit and how to keep the vvti. (external oil feed ect. I have a vtec swapped Honda as well, I used a oil sandwich plate on that setup and it works fine, was going to run the same idea on the 1ggte/fe now info for you : I have a 1jz turbo manifold which I cut the mounting bracket off and welded a 1gfe one on so it bolts up, then I mounted a t4 to t2 plate to the other end to fit a t28R turbo. I tapped onto the water lines just up near the back of the head (they kind of loop 180) oil feed from next to oil filter there was a bolt. and return to sump. (all braided line and speedflow fittings) Im running a Greddy ultimate ecu running a mild 6psi making 182hp atw. look forward to hearing your reply, would be good if we can both get these hybrids up and boosting :D
  7. correct me if im wrong, e10 is the cheapest fuel and is the blended with ethanol? i got told never to touch the stuff in any performance car/bike
  8. ok heres my list, keep in ind ive had my licence 6 years, haha 1976 celica liftback: bought it for my first car for $300 got a rwc then sold it for $1000 hz panel van inherrited it from my uncle

with this for the first 3 years of my p plates as i live in a country town i lived the bogan dream haha. this thing still drives around town, it would have to have 500+km now 1988 honda crx -- this is the car i class as my first real car, i saved for it, i modded it and it made hot 4's a few times once as a feature car and many times as p plate special and cruises and readers cars, i sold this to buy a house and fund my idea to start a small panel shop sold it for $9500 1992 ed ford falcon mate moved away and i bought this for the remaining rego, was my dedicated skid car for 3 months then sold it for $500 1993 vp commodore 5 speed, i bought this cause the old guy who owned it was an original owner it was clean and i figured i would sell it for a mint, ........ it got stolen :( 1991 honda gen2 crx found it at a wrecker down the sunshine coast, it had mugen goodies bolted on everywhere the wrecker said it needed a clutch and gearbox (had both of these at home) he thought it was a civic haha i got it for $1000 then i modded it painted it shaved door handles, everything opened and closed started ect, via remote, then couldnt get it to pass rwc here in qld so sold it to a vic honda member for 5k 1994 honda accord vtec needed a daily while i was fixing up the crx above, got this to swap out the engine but it was single cam and not worth the time, so kept it till i sold the crx then started looking for a clean crx. 1990 honda gen2 crx i bought this one as i also had bought the 2x gen1s below i had plans to make a track car out of them and with the accord sold i wanted another tidy gen 2 as a daily, 1985 gen1 crx both of these made 1 good track car, 1 was already half done both were drivable, the 87 si ballard shell is still at my parents just collecting rust and spare parts inside haha. 1987 gen1 crx 1988 honda gen2 crx got this one as result of spraying a customers car, it was in bad shape, i just parted it out :( 1993 mitsubishi express van bought this as i went through my freestyle bmx stage it was covered in stickers and was the recovery vechile for black duck valley motorcross track, bought it for $500 sold it for 2500 1993 honda legend wanting to go back to the hondas but more of a luxury car i got this, nothing but trouble with the electrics (sat in the bck yard till a few months ago) 2002 subaru forester winter edition this car was purchased as a reward for selling my house was a very nice car but then i moved to brisbane and it wasnt fitting into the car scene with a soccer mums car as my mates said so off it went $15000 1994 honda civic decided i wanted a lexus is200 so bought this till i could find a manual, bought for 800 sold for 1200 5 days later lol. 2003 lexus is200 sport luxury-- was lucky enough to find this on ebay for 10k asking went and looked on thursday night bout 7pm had next to no reciepts but looked tidy the young lady owner couldnt tell me anything so i bartered her to 8500 and jumped at it, it was a great car for close on a year, 2002 vt commodore i fell ill and moved back home, my gf at the time fell pregnant and i had to sell the lexus as she didnt like it and wanted a mazda 6, so sold the lexus bought that then she miss carried and took off with the car (over space of 4 months) 1988 honda crx (current ride) got over females figured hondas have always been kind to me bought this with low km then bombed it out, swapped in a b20vtec engine and converted everything back to stock, has all the go fast bits and is now off the road for turbo conversion, 1993 toyota soarer bought this while the crx was off the road but was insanly thirsty so i used boostcruising for the first time and put it up for trade, and got the hilux below, 1995 toyota hilux 4x4 (current) has vt ecotec engine swap it a great car , had to spend bout 3k ontop of the swap to get it on the road but i love it, it will be used to tow my crx to and from QR and lakeside. 1999 lexus is200 turbo (current) finaly deciding that having a track car and a big 4x4 isnt enough i set out to find a manual is200 again this time with the plan of a 1jz but after looking everywhere and flying to syney to look at a few i found this on the side of the road for sale and it was turbo, i talked the owner from 10k to 8600 so i payed him and drove it back that night, not a problem and i love it, problem is i like it that much i have forgotten about the crx build alot lately haha. some of these i owed at the same time and thats not including cars i bought to just spray and resell. i realise i have owned alot of cars for my age but living in a small town with not alot to do i took pride in getting something *BLEEP* giving it paint and fixing it up then seeing someone else enjoying it, also being able to drive around point out " i painted that haha"
  9. *BLEEP*, my car must be awful, i use mine as a daily, and mostlycountry town driving at 60km, i only get bout 350km to a tank, not sure if thats cause it boosted or if it just a bad tune ect, i use penrite full synthetic oils and bp ultimate 98 fuel. if i do a trip to brisbane return i get about 680km and i dont know if i worked it out wrong but when i bought it back from sydney after buying the car i got 820km that was keeping it off boost as it was playing up unless on full throttle.
  10. also just realised that they are stamped on the top of the headlight mounting bracket on each side, just a little tip for anyone else wanting to know the bulbs
  11. thanks mate, yeah ive always had my hondas, still actualy have my first car sitting in the garage atm (although im painting it for the new owner) but after owning the is200 its very hard to just back into track mode - rough as coilovers car sits at 3cm from sump, no pwer steering ect. definetly moving to a new era with the is200.
  12. hey mate, your going for low beam i guessing? just pull the old bulb out and read on the side, also a little tip, 35watt-50watt or 100 watt doesnt make much difference its the lighting ie 4000k 60000k ect. hosestly id go 35watt (low heat) 6000k- there the brightest without losing distance. and from memory the bulbs needed are 8005 and 8006 or hb4 i cant remember which is for low and high though sorry :/ hope that helps some.
  13. how much power/ boost where you getting out of your setup? just out of curiousity
  14. that much? any reason you didnt just go 1jz? reason i ask is my is200 is also turbo atm but ultimatly i want to swap it out when this engine retires and i was looking at the 1j. here is one of my baby:
