sidewaysickness

I'm not sure yet if I will be taking up the LTD or a Volvo wagon. Will keep you guy's updated

As discussed with Alex, Next meet will be Thursday the 22nd @ Rabbit island. As per usual Mot crew will meet at the clock tower, Nelson crew at WOW car park. 6pm I have a 69 cortina wagon and a 68 Impala wagon and possibly a 71 volvo wagon confirmed to attend. working on a few others. Let's make this a good one... Tell ya mates, tell their mums even tell their dogs

Im dont know how much room there is but the 1GZ is a very compact engine, it's significantly narrower than a 1UZ. Rough dimensions are 800mm from bellhousing to water neck(750mm to the front pulley), 700mm from sump to manifold top, 600mm from head to head.

Great car, I look forward to a closer inspection next time I visit paradise. Just throwing this out there.... something different, its Toyota and its a 6 cylinder... ...(dramatic pause)... ... doubled! 1GZ-FE Official output as per Japanese Manufacturers' Agreement is 206 kW (276 hp) at 5200 rpm although true power output is estimated to be around 230 kW (310 hp). Peak torque of 481 N·m (355 lbf·ft) is at 4000 rpm with over 400 N·m (300 lbf·ft) available from as little as 1200 rpm.

my bad.... I should really read things properly

Damn. I start work on the 5th. How long are you up for?

Kevin would lose any fight, you have made him a sissy with his super soft pantene pro v fur. I'm working on Daniel getting signed up. The fact that he turned up says that I'm making progress. I could just sit and look at his corolla forever

As you can tell it was a quiet meet, we had a tiny car, a large car and a shiny car. Looking forward to the dancing girls next month

Turns out my car is no longer welcome at Speights ale house... Apparently they don't appreciate a v8 making clouds at stag do's. what weirdos!

may as well continue with the rabbit island plan. see you then

No problem Alex. It was great to check out your land and soak up some rays.

Another great meet, Thanks to everyone that turned up. My little bbq struggled with the amount of meat so I will be keeping an eye out for an upgrade. Rabbit island will work fine. Heres a few of my pics See you all next month!

selling demio to buy oldschool? good man! still.... not a good enough excuse

If I'm not at WOW on time then leave without me. I will most likely join the cruise as you go past my house in appleby

Cool. There should also be a mk2 cortina wagon waiting there.

Heres a sketch of the old girl drawn by my mates girlfriend.

arck she'll be right maaaayte. only 100 thousand? lol I'm fairly sure my ol girls on her third time around the clock! being a 71 400 it's apparently rated at a whole 280 donkeypowers (in original form with every factory option fitted and running)

Thanks guys. Yea she's a 400M. Iv got a spare 400M in the shed but unfortunately it's a dreaded Michigan casting, so il probably never do anything with it

leave the bbq to me. Il sort something

Yup. sounds great

Cool! so there's 3 cars so far meeting in mot. how about we get them all together and meet up with the mot crew at say... The clock tower?

I will most likely be taking the land barge. Also Alex a certain mk2 cortina wagon has been confirmed to join the cruise in motueka! In the process of grooming other worthy people...

I have a spare set of 4x4 guards if your interested? they are not stuffed but will need a bit of love
