oldrx7

i bet half the people who have owned a escort as there first have brought another one since

yep thats true!

Bought this as my 1st car, was standard when i got it, lowered it, got wheels, then crashed it. kinda fixed it, stripped it for panel/paint new engine .... that was over 8 years ago now

this is my 83 Hiace, ex Maui camper from the 80's.. lol

using it for surf missions over summer. managed to score front 79 model chrome bumper, just looking for a rear now.

that looks wicked man!

could always get the bumper cromed i guess but would be expensive.

vans are fun, bull bars have been handy too

its for sale if any1's interested

":3vyxh6wr]also heard that they are looking at stopping the re-vinning on old cars??

Real? That ain't cool

Thats gota be BS

My local Lady at the VTNZ is pretty handy when it comes to getting car info etc.

I don't need to know my donor history anyhow im swapping plates lols

If you have the plates, cant you put them into that carjam website and actually buy the report? That shows why it failed

a wof, last inspection etc etc doesnt it?

As for keeping the black plates, if the rego is on hold then yep, you get to just simply put on a rego payment and keep the

plates, if its been 'de-regd' then no, a new vin number is assigned to the vehicle and you get issued with new plates.

You could spend the money and buy the personalised plate of your old plate, and just run the black plates though.

holy shit

Yeah BJs was fun to wander around in, pity they had to level the place so they could build that campervan yard (or whatever the hell it is now)

Car yard now aint it? For fresh imports and shit?

I got a few bits from them, was a big shame when they shut up

yeh i used to always wander around in there too. used to hide parts i wanted in other cars

till i had enough money to come back another day and buy them

only a hr?i went out to keates place in rangoon,blew 3hours walking round drooling out there..but im a rotor feign

is that the infamos mazfarm?

i'd be keen on doing a tour when i get down there bro! just over a week till im down there

shit that dub looks awesome, i recon those wheels look all good on it too!

yeh pretty sure you can do that, if you pop into the VTNZ, or anywhere that issues rego plates. You might have to wait till its WOF'd though?

Just say you lost them, or they were stolen, pretty sure you have to pay more than the normal $12.50 or what ever it normally is to swap plates over, but yeh, it can be done

Pm'd ...

a few tyre shops sell em new.

i paid $150 per tyre from drury tyres in auckland. Kemeu tyres do them slightly cheaper.

thats 175 or 185/80/13. 'cooper trendsetters'

you may be able to get other sizes etc. the painted on ones dont last as long, tend to fade to a grey pretty

quick.

but its up to you. If you've just bought new tyres on the bickies you've got, you may as well get 'paint ons' but

if you dont have any tyres yet, you may as well get the proper ones.

well its up on trademe for a $1 auction. needs to go as im moving house

sweet, i just did some google research and yeh, appears to be W50.

and sorry, i paid alot more for it 3 years ago.

not sure if i got shafted or not but i'll do some more 'price' research and see how much they're worth

$300 ono ???

Hey there fulla's!

Bought this gearbox about 3 years ago, got told it was a celica W50 box.

Its got 33111-20090 10 on the gearbox

33141-20090 is on the back part.

and 3038E 7505D is on the bell housing.

Here's 2 pics, any help appreciated, oh, and its for sale too, so some make me an offer!

Yeh i thought there was more modgies and spitfires than any other

wheel there!

This amazed me; must of been desperate to see the bikini comp

yeah mate I'll slam them up tonight

your car looked awesome mate! well done!

loved the display too

Here's my pix i got over the weekend;

not in 13" though...apparently they dont make that size anymore...???

never got around to rippin off that banner..haha...

basically ive just drivin it home and parked it up..

nankang do a nice 205/60/13.

or at least they did.

yeh if you like the look of the 17's on there at the mo, then get some spacers ...

then you might have problems with guard rub ...

if you lower then those 17's will look all good.

Get it lower, on either wheels and it'll look heaps better

nah, flares are gay, ruin the look of a car, an old car stands out enough

just being old ... no need to make it look shit house like that cosmo, rx7

and 10a front rx3

P.S. 'oldrx7' That wagon looks awesome on those wheels, is that your car? I like it.

Cheers!!! yeh man, its mine.

you still havent told us what car he's getting?

if it is a 323, good old 15 reflexes or cobras etc can still look good

dont think i could handle anything like that aye,

im bad enough with blood as it is.

hate sad stuff ...

what sort of mazda is it?

hubcaps n shit hasnt been thrashed too much in NZ yet

love that rx3!!!

Council permission usually equals $$$ though ...

For the 1st one, you'd want to make it a free event, for both the organisers and spectators/entrants. Just so no1 ends up loosing out

big time due to slack organising or fuck all people showing up.

An informal, cruze/meet up/bbq etc would be a great idea.

There's a few places you could use. Could go out to Maeratae in Auckland, or up to the Domain. All you need is someone to bring a bbq

or two, a few chilly bins with some drinks and you'd have a small fun

social gathering.
