Sir depre

[BMW320i]

But bear in mind I clocked this mileage on long distance driving in Perth. Your looking at 100-200km with occassional stops in at beginning and end of the destination.

 

450km would be city driving and thats on 50L because I usually don't use up the reserves. Driving style is moderate.

 

But such a car, FC shouldn't be too much a concern for you.

9km/l quite okay ba..

my current lau pok car giving me 10km/l...

not even turbo..

exhuast phua kang ba

but of coz its an aging car...

cannot blame it

[Fsrkia]

ek4 FC that bad mah i expect it to be around 10km/l at least for a not heavily modded one..

I would say you should plan well financially. Just make sure you don't have to work your butt off to meet monthly installments.

 

Both cars are heaps of fun.

Dunno leh. Maybe better to ask in SHC, they have the EK folder. But imagine having to rev sky high to extract the power, it will be real tough not to drive heavy-footedly.

[Fsrkia]

for normal driving and overtaking, normal sir driving below 3000rpm should be more than enough unless u are overtaking one whoe stretch of rex or evo who are refusing to give way...

just like to have the vtec under my control and use it when needed...

so hard to find a good condition and within my budget ek4m..

[Fsrkia]

yeah of coz not worth to eat bread and water just for a car...thanks bro..

how yr rex?

is it very nice to drive?

[Dazzleboy]

my SiR can give me 10-12km/L

this includes all sorts of mixed driving

 

a 1999-2000 may command a higher paper value as 'maybe' still can export. again its the car dealer stories, up to you to believe.

the sir i aiming comes stock....

not modded at all..

 

Stock bo hua... the body not worth so much. I think the owner is selling you at this price because it's his outstanding finance figure.

[Atlantis_boi]

2k the most?? haiz any more ek4m for sale??

with sir depre i can get a rex right?

how much is rex FC huh?

 

I believe many have already answered ur qns. Anyway, u can look for the Bug eye Rex if u wan a less common Rex. Shld b in the region of 60+K for the 2002 model. Browse thru the used car market, u shld b able 2 find 1.

 

Good luck in ur car hunting pal.

 

Cheers.

Stock rex understeers big quite a bit. Tyre wears out outside and finally inner. Peak boost around 4500-5000rpm. 5000rpm onwards, actuator no longer holds the boost and you don't get the surge.

 

Mods wise, for eg. be prepared to spend some cash on piggyback or standalone ECU to take advantage of your aftermarket exhaust system otherwise it'll be slower then stock. (High AF ratio)

 

Next level of mod is usually turbo upgrade which can be quite expensive.

 

Stock WRX is not a car you want to launch at 6000-7000rpm otherwise the gearbox will blow.

 

Overall its good fun but if you want more, you'll have to spend quite a bit on modding.
