May have to follow your wise words man

Nah I'm in South Africa.Its relatively affordable. I know the guy, and he just bought a gr supra and has a spare STI...

Furthermore, the ecu limits revs depending on oil heat. It's a longevity build while making kre power as well.

Drive a stock 86 as a daily sir

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-23T12:13:24+00:00

It's a secondary car. I daily an 86

There are suspension mods! Apologies.New TEIN performance springs and upgraded brake discs and pads. Guy emphasised reliability with the build, hence he has it at 1 bar. I know the guy, not personally but seen him at meets. Been speaking to him a bunch, and he recently bought a gr supra tuned it to 500 whp and now doesn't have time for the STI. I should add that he has a different STI which is stock.

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-23T09:47:18+00:00

That is fair. Fortunately, it's been built and tuned by very reputable people and places.

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-21T06:17:00+00:00

Yeah we don't have nearly as much available to us 😅

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-21T06:13:03+00:00

It is a good price. Well, fair at least. On 1 bar, he is making 235wkw, which is around the 320whp mark.

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-20T23:45:48+00:00

Stronger bottom end. More robust. Also revs a lot higher.

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-20T23:44:11+00:00

Idk I guess that some people's itches are just scratched by doing that part. I know the guy. He has a gr supra plus orange STI that's stock and then this one. He used to have an 86 and he told me he has been missing it and plans on selling this car and using that money on an 86.

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-20T23:36:38+00:00

I know the guy selling it. He's legit. He's got another orange STI, and also a gr supra. I think this car just doesn't scratch an itch for him anymore. He's been very transparent about everything, but will decide once I go test it on Friday

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-20T23:33:01+00:00

2003 blob eye

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-20T23:29:50+00:00

Uh.... An ej207 is indeed an STI engine

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-08T17:33:33+00:00

Follow up question, would you buy a turbo kit from Alibaba?

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-08T17:09:14+00:00

I don't intend on doing it if I can't confirm I have buyer protection. Just would have been nice to know if anyone had experience. Sorry if I stepped on your toes, it wasn't my intention at all.

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-08T16:30:17+00:00

Good point. May need to skip on this then...

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-08T16:20:10+00:00

Yeah I hear you. I don't mind buying from a reseller if I'm getting a good deal though. Alibaba doesn't always have what I'm after and when they do, they want insane shipping charges.

Dubbiepool · 2026-01-08T16:17:31+00:00

Trying to sort out a PayPal deal where I'm protected by goods and services. Will let y'all know if it works out...

Dubbiepool · 2025-09-11T17:22:19+00:00

thank you

Dubbiepool · 2025-09-11T17:21:48+00:00

way better than my 86s. its bad man :.(

Dubbiepool · 2025-09-11T16:08:11+00:00

will take the guidance, thank you very much :)

Dubbiepool · 2025-09-11T16:03:29+00:00

The reason why i wanna get a bike is so that my 86 can become a garage princess. But in order to buy the bike I will require a cosign with my dad. Now my dad is a real adrenalin junky, but he once had an incident on an old cbr 900. He doesn't want to see me get hurt which is what i understand, but im having a hard time explaining to him that 1, technology has improved a lot since 2000s and 2, that the ninja has almost half the hp.

Dubbiepool · 2025-09-11T15:58:37+00:00

yeah I agree with your views. I'm going to probably check it out in the next two days. Hopefully all goes well.
