Spotted a black c110 skyline yesterday, country road driving near Ardmore so didn't have time to snap a pic unfortunately.

Did it have flares and big modernish wheels? 

Just when you thought an Rx8 wasn't silly looking enough... 

That stainless muffler looks sweet.  Is it twin entry as well as exit? 

Option 2 for looks, 3 for size.  Either of those is better than 1 for the car IMO.

And then to kick you in the balls further they'll cook themselves and bend heads/blow gaskets.

You could have just put "they're still a Toyota" for that part.

You are a sarcastic twat KY. Give it a go, you might be older than you think, Old man.

Joking aside, it is a bit geeky but when you get started it is worthwhile. Even if it's just 30 mins here and there.

All you gotta do is close the box lid when you've had enough.

I only started because I'm in my 70's.

Got inspired, got stuck in, glad I did.

Point proven. 

I have my old fridge still sitting outside since I replaced it.  Not sure if it still works but I can check and you're welcome to it, if it does? 

(I replaced separate fridge and freezer with a combined unit)

Thanks @locost_bryan, any ability I have is just practice and looking at that internet.

It's a fun, cheap, pastime though.

 

 

 

I have a few in the cupboard that I could have a crack at but I struggle for enthusiasm to do such things nowadays.  I'll assume the enthusiasm returns when you get a bit older.

The exhaust tip though.  That's probably the rarest part of all... 

*long whistle*

I'd say so. Even the flank badges probably aren't terribly common?

Mate,  whats that car on the left, there seems to be a few of them in there.

That's his Lamborghini with Liberty Walk setup 

Rx8 in front of the Rx2 

MX5 on the right. 

They came with the SD20 and SS22 diesels as stock.   Didn't start getting 6 diesels until the 430 or Y30, I believe. 

I was going to buy one years ago that was converted from SD to LD. 

Correct.  

The Mitsi partnership. 

Just like there's a Dodge Challenger that's just a Mitsubishi Sapporo.  Really destroying that nameplate for a run...

Curious. I spotted a Dodge branded something in Capetown back in '16

Different partnership.  That's the Mitsi partnership, the Avenger one is Chrysler Hillman.

Having phone pic reminiscence. Spotted in a swanky part of Buenos Aires when I was going there 5 years ago. Avenger type thing, Dodge badge from memory?

That'll give @JoKera wee chubby 

Way to make a working dog look like a handbag dog. 

Cripes. 

Turn to the left... 

Turn to the right..

Never buy a diesel with an M in the name?

That was the rule of thumb a mechanic once told me.

Pretty sure some of the early Merc diesels are bulletproof.  W114 era shit.

Been running stock ECU so shouldn't be the tune..... will get some new oxy sensors as they're old as fuck and a new fuel filter just in case my my fuel pressure is a bit sad. Looks very lean.

I think the lean is your key to that electrode melting, shit got far too choochie. 

Potentially, people should be getting out more for sure but there's many limiting factors some mentioned above. 

I'd love to be retired so I could drive around constantly though. 

How good?

Tbh he's putting everyone on this forum to shame. We should all be doing this sort of trip more often

I did one similar not that long ago and another similar not long before that along with several other forum members. 

So ahh..  Not true?

I'm glad this is still alive and fucking 2ZZ? Gawd damn.  Awesome stuff.
