can i query as to why the choice of the 8?

its a wicked yesteryear project, but these days there are plenty of cheap/lighter 8s and smaller engines to produce better power and handling.

*coughlexusv8cough*

is it just me or have there been a few random rotor people round this site lately?

I agree, not sure what it is ay. Good as tho, I'm all for new members. They will get better at typing eventually

i wouldnt spend tht much money on one, my mate got one for $2500 with work done to the head and 130ks on the clock, is only auto but pulls hard still.

i wouldnt get a 1ggze one cos they are quite a bit slower than the 7mgte but i wouldnt get a 7mgte with high k's cos they do like to crack the head on them

Ok so you wouldn't buy one. This is a 1g-gte not super charged and its making (apparantly) 280kw. They are good motors, and you can bet this one would be a hell of a lot faster than a dirty 7m. Plus its manual which are extremely dificult to find in good condition.

hahaha oh shit what next

Or spend 6g making your gemi fast! doit!!! mmmm sr20det gemini....

He's deffinately wanting top dollar ay. Making some awesome power tho, should be extremely fast! I think its worth a swap ay, your ute in 10 years old so its dropping in value and finding a manual supra is very difficult, especially with 280kw. Sure a 1jz would be better but it would go for 10k easy.

mx5 is girls car, the nissan figaro(sp?) is an oldschool girls car

They were made in 1990. Not oldschool, can't you tell? Far too girly to be designed back in the day.

Most hatches are quite girly but also, alot can be made less-girly with mods. Lots of mods! Plus you can have cool gun-girly cars that are less than 1600 i think.

Thats very cool man. Its quite a short engine. What radiator did you use or did you stick with the standard one?

She tried climbing it and it almost collapst under the enormus weight true story

haah fuk those dudes are my new heros

I wouldn't

"Keep an eye out for a standard looking lancer 'evo' with gay wheels and a loud exhaust"

"theres one"

"theres one"

"theres six!"

"theres one, oh no thats a subaru primera familia can't tell the difference"

Not that it's oldschool.. but the 'IAMEVO' Evo 1 got stolen on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. It's white and stock looking, with white Evo 2/3 15" OZ wheels, and a loud as exhaust.

come on man, you just described about 60,000 cars

i thoguht my racism towards niggers were bad but do every single one of you on here hate rotors?

Shut up rota luva!

Nah man, I'm pretty sure theres only a small amount of people that dislike rotary's. Its the people that say, "put a mean rota in it au" that most of us hate. Especially when its a mint original ford or toyota (for example) and they want a dirty rota put in it. Its mindless.

And racism sux!

Looking good man. Luving the oil cooler boso mini stz! haha

Where did you score that from and how much?

Yea man it is very cool. A mate told me about it last night. A guy we know has one exactly the same and putting in the same motor and everything. Very cool combo, sticking with the oldschool.

If you were to respray it fukn poo brown all the way!

Yeh it woulda been pretty cool with some money spent on it ay. Owned at the end of last year. Sold it to a young fella up in whangarei so hopefully it will still be around.

Was it found at red rocks? Typical place to dump a car.

Nah browns bay, red rocks was closed au.

I get it!

Stoked you found it man. Thought it would turn up.

Let us know how the recovery goes dude.

yeah that white ones been crushed... some retard was drunk in the middle of the day and crashed into him..... from behind... he was parked infront of a brick wall..... suckd ....

whoa that really sux. I saw it crashed on ulster st. didn't look bad enough to crush! just a little damage front and rear.. anyway...

not quite sure what looks photoshoped about those wheels..?? if they were he did an excellent job of getting the shadow/reflection perfect on front and rear..

I've been thinking of putting a comment up about this car but couldn't find a thread. I thought I was just cabbage but I guess there wasn't one.

Anyway it looks fuken cool man. There was a nice one on zs' with a 4age in it a little while back but it got crashed. Very awesome cars!

Yeh i know ay. It'll look the part hopefully. I just had a look and my front shocks are out of a suzuki sj4, and my rears are out of an isuzu rodeo i think. They are nice and short. I spent $450 on bushings and shocks so far with more than double that to go for pan-hard, sway bar and springs.

hey! Im a decent contributer to this forum...

ofcourse you are man, wouldn't be the same without you.

I saw the last post in this thread was by you, and I thought to myself how strange it seemed that you would post in a tech thread about geminis etc

hot. just looked at all pics. man i dig c10s. so so hawt from front and side.

..and back and above and....

Wow, I'm in awe... those are some very good photos... I didn't know you'd even be able to get that many together anymore

nah bo just change to falcon struts with drum brakes au, will work and if it doesnt then you did it wrong, damn im hot

that sounds like something cam/sparkle would say (after all they are the same person ay? )

p48 is pretty insane. My car will deffinately be fine as far as being low enough to clear the shocks, but you start running into issues when its jacked up. I'm pretty sure you'd fail a cert/wof if your wheels sit on the shocks at full droop.

Anyway I've managed to track down everything needed now. Full nolathane control arm bushings, sway bar (bushings also), ball joints and shocks from some crazy fiat or something that are pretty small. Should have some pics sussed of it crazy low soon.
