  1. I used to drive a 156 around for work but didn't like it. clutch and gearbox were good but the engine always seemed to run out just when i was starting to have fun. Sucked in stop-start traffic, they really just want to run.

    dog and lemon guide says avoud them cos they unreliable and expensive to service.

    Looks count for a lot though.

  2. My ute has twin sealed beam headlights.

    Not a lot of light when you're used to halogens, good thing I'm not used to HID or something.

    In England I replaced the sealed beam units in my van for ones that take halogen bulbs, in USA halogen sealed beams are common.

    Are either option easily available in NZ? haven't seen them around.

  3. I dunno, I can imagine ppl in their early 20s in their first decent paying job wanting a new rwd car for a reasonable price.

    Also to build up as a club/track car, although that won't be a big market.

    and yeah the baja sucks.

  4. When I got my 1300 years ago it was lop-sided so I let fluid out the other side and thought it rode and handled pretty sweet. Was wicked fun on the dirt roads.

    Why not try it and if you don't like it you can either get the work done or get some fluid pumped back in.

  5. I have 2 viscous LSDs, both I think out of turbo legacies.

    The first one I bought off tardme and it had been overpowered and the washers that the little spider gears bear against had broken up.

    When I put a pair of stub axles in the diff centre I can slowly turn it by hand.

    The 2nd one (thanks again jase) will only turn if I put one end in a vice and put a screwdriver through the stub axle in the other end and then it just turns very slowly.

    Can anybody tell me if the first centre is stuffed? or is the 2nd one too tight?

  6. Some dude who know's Japanesse can't make some serious coin being the middle man for guys like me who want parts we've found in Japan and organising payment/delivery etc. That'd work so good both ways. Cause tons of people want to use YAJ but can't and pages like these but can't.

    My mrs is japanese and has family in yokohama, perhaps i shul sort something out.
