I'd probably love it temporarily, ESP with boost... but regret it later.

Anyone interested in a rhd 84 ae86? Or big money for a rb26 s30z?

Can you register the 86 in IL?

a little stupid question,

the little lights (with the little red triangle) in the middle of the exhaust tips, are they just reflectors or they actually suppose to light up?

In the USDM models, it's just a reflector. In JDM models it has a light in it.

The red is a reflector (EDM/JDM rear fog light), the clear ones are your reverse lights.

Filled up at 4.59/gallon...feel like I just got robbed

Also @Calum after I filled up my engine was doing the indecisive idle again, and now I have a reason to be pissed at it. The idle went up to 1200 without warning (from 700, but I wasn't really paying close attention) and I've learned to start the car at 800ish, so I let the clutch go and I get this big jerk :/

And I felt bad about $3.89/gal... That put some perspective on it for sure.

Earlier today I passed a Chevron station selling 87 for 4.77/gal...

There was also one of the few E85 pumps in California right next to the place I filled up selling E85 for a whopping 3.89/gal.

I think the last time I saw 3.89 gas was...okay I guess it was around there earlier this year. Typically gas is >$4/gal in California though.

I only bought 9 gallons, hoping that the prices will be down a little by the next time I fill up. When gas is this expensive, even 33mpg doesn't seem good enough...

I believe so; there's a 20 or 25 year federal restriction on cars we don't get in the United States (if it's a JDM RHD that is), which that passes easily. I don't think there's actually an issue with registering RHD cars, just JDM/imported cars. For example, a converted RHD car still has a LHD VIN, which is a loophole that allows you to register it. If it's a legit JDM car, the story gets longer but I think the 20/25 (whichever it is) year rule covers that.

Mmmm, time to look for intermittent vacuum leaks. Or wait until its not intermittent anymore....
