Yeah im taking the Century. 2 seats if you want mega luxury or 3-4 if you want to be a peasant.

Lol at the people camping. You fuckers are going to be colder than Edmund Hillarys foot.

Anyone need a ride? Also anyone got space for a bike?

Yeah I love the colour. Originally was keen for the usual black but I reckon this is something different.

Its separate coil and shock at the rear and coilover at the front. Super easy to bag.

Cost me $180 to fill with 98. Got about 650ks on the open road plus some extra driving from Palmerston North to Christchurch on that tank.

Around town it seems pretty thirsty. Slapped $60 in and it was gone in about 150ks. Havent really driven it enough to get the full gist yet. I guess at the end of the day its an old 4L V8 pulling 1700kgs so its gonna be pretty thirsty.

Kanes wiring looks immaculate, the issue was a faulty AVS component. Not sure what his username is or if he has time to do other installs. But I will ask.

Kane put an AVS alarm in my Mark II, did a super awesome install but we have had issues with the alarm itself which has stressed us both.

I have ordered speakers the correct size, might have a go at slapping them in as they are the correct size should be pretty easy. Just ordered a pretty hilarious Chinese headunit to see what its like, if its shit will slap on Trade Me.

Cheer fellas. I could do it myself but would rather have a pro do it. Hence me asking.

Going to scope out Installer Services.

Looking to get some speakers installed in the Century, motherfucker has like 10 speakers and I want it done pro.

I expect it might need some mild fabrication work done as I suspect the speakers I want will be bigger than what it can take factory.

Anyone had good or bad experiences with installers in Christchurch?

I had used Pauls Car Audio in the past and they seemed good but appear to have closed.

Some people in forums have recommended Installer Services but this was a few years back.

I put a 1GGTE in my factory manual 1GG GX71 Mark II. I don't regret it at all. They came out factory turbo, my car is essentially the GT version now.

I did it because its what I wanted to do. If you want to turbo it then turbo it. Its not like they only made 100 Mark II's. Its an uncommon car but not rare.

I also peeled the guards, modified the suspension, changed the car audio, destroyed the chassis rails etc. So its far from factory anyway.

Do what you want to do, life's to short to worry about if its rare or not. Maybe if you were turning a 2000GT into a limo then we might have an argument but its a Mark II we are talking about here haha.

And to answer your question, your factory fuel pump is fine.

If you are worried about it sounding shit then listen to this turbo whine...

There she goes.

Vehicle is sold. Admins can lock this thread if that is what needs to happen. PS I replaced it with something way more awesome.

Cheers fellas, I have had a mate go scope it out for me today.

Will be able to suprise you with it in the next week or 2 all going well.

I need a car looked at, will provide some $ or vouchers for someone who can help do a general scope of a car for me. Maybe a quick test drive.

Is there a list of people going and payments etc? I think I might be blind...

Reg'd faggots, might bring the Corolla. Yeah.

Its costing me $80 a year for full insurance through AMI and I have a few of my other cars insured through AMI so prefer to just stick with them.

Going in to see the dude at Moorhouse Muscle tomorrow. Sounds like a super GC, said he had a soft spot for old Toyotas haha.

Cheers for all the info bros.

Have used Laurie Payne before for valuing project cars.

Called this mudafucka today and he said he would call me back and never did. I would normally not give my business to someone that does this but in this case I might have to.

Muscle car places probably wouldn't appreciate the value of an old Corolla.

I need to get a valuation done on my KE20 for insurance purposes. Does anyone know where to go in Christchurch to get this done?
