yup

Not really aye, havel mite have a standard one lying around.

Markbay got one at a swap meet in christchurch for a doller

Just digging through the photos and found some pics of my old cars so thought i would post em up

My 1st car, was a hand me down 1980 2 door 323 wagon

2nd car 78 323 4 door hatch (note the camber on rear wheel, it didnt have independant rear, i smoked into a curb a few days before

)

My 1st rotary, paid $4500 for it, motor was tired so got a 12a bridgeport built

My 2nd rotary and fourth 323, 13b tallport, went really well.

One of those cars you regret selling

My dads spare car that i drove with my wheels on it, gotta love lpg

Sentia

Hey mate just a quick question.

A friend of mine has a ma70 supra (7mgte) and its an auto, he wants to buy a 5m powered celica thats a manual and put the box , flywheel and clutch/pressure plate from the 5m onto the back of the 7m motor.

Will the 7m fit a 5m box?

im guessing that video you put on there is only cool if youve got sound hahaha...

watched it at work, just looked like a peeping tom watching the neighbour leave their house or seomthing hahaha

no sound = gay.

altho i must admit it did look like it goes hard when you took off... very impressive.

lol yeah sound is a neccesity

is it wheelspinning all the way up the road or is that just rotary noise?

yeah i took off quite slow but at the end of 1st gear it starts spinning and then al the way through 2nd till i had to button off at the intersection, could have keeped it going but not enough road left

cheers everyone for your feedback, its good to get comments good or bad, better than none at all

I can tell you that there was not much skill involved, just loads of hours of thinking and preparation to avoid mucking it up and having to do it over again.

Yeah i have the same problem aswell, not sure why it takes a while to load up.

If someone knows a better place to host videos , please post up an address

just a little clip

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.

spelling mistake, would definatly not get (another) 1ggze, was ment to say 1g gte

its always those one aswell,

should i turn left and go home? , nah just another lap round the block

ahwell more motivation to get it cert/wof/regd

took it for a tuning run, was a cop standing on the side of the road with a radar gun about 300 metres up, got done for 63km/h = $80 , no wof = $200 , no rego = $200 , then he found out it wasnt running the diesel motor so on went the greeny.

mite take it to a shop next time, mite be cheeper than $480 for them to tune it lol

i was asking for it really

twin pulleys are not for anythng special they are just poor mans gilmer drives. it should have a little whine to it.

ive never heard them whine. i thought the whole twin idea was less slip etc?

has one belt on , and it has got a nice little whine....dont know why tho, being just like normal

they should let you in and call it "ex fours and rotary's

fired it up 2day!, didnt take long for it to fire into life, and once it warmed up i turned it off and now it barely takes a second to fire up.

still havnt hooked up alternator cos i dont know which way the spades go on.

went for a blat up the road with no seats in it, had to leave the door open so i could rest my back on the pillar, but it went nutty as.

anyways stoked tht it starts off the key and goes quite hard.

will put seats in tomorrow and go for a drive

i wounder if tht starlet could get a wheel spinning if it wasnt wet, if he could i wouldnt think he could keep chopping gears

ok heres my bit about hondas

yuh zs's are tuff,i see sqwrt's rawkn them

im not to keen on the on escorts. Escorts are to small for em.

626's drop em like its hot.

think he means sqwrt the 1600 datto?

and thats a fair few cars in that back lawn haha.

yeah those are the ones tht cant go in the garage,626 and 323 in garage and the poo brown cedric as the daily runner

i dont know the number of the street but its the 1st rd on the left down pohutukawa drve (rewarewa i think) then you go past a reserve on your left and his pad is the second one past there on the left

yo gareth are you coming back this w/e?

heres sum pics of havels back lawn

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

got the motor back, just waiting on some motivation to put it in, anyways heres a better photo

my old man has had heaps of 8's, when i was 5 he had a 56 belair.

now he has a pontiac trans am (black with gold firebird on the hood) a 74 stingray and a 39 chev coupe (o.g)

will put pics up if any one can be fucked looking at them.

speaking of old school car owners in AK, i followed a silver mk2 cortina over the harbour bridge on thursday, looked like a young guy thought he mite be off here....quite tidy looking

motor all painted up, looks alot better than before, as you can see i ended up forking out for a billet flywheel through green brothers of tauranga. $360 not too bad of a price, its a 10ib , i did want something a bit heavier but im not complaining, apparently the clutch turns up tomorrow

he is now trying to sell it for alot more than he paid apparently

no. not much more than what he paid for it.....just think of it as putting on your finders fee on top of tht price and advertising it to the public to buy
