This won’t make it to leadfoot this year will it?

I really wish that wasn’t a thing. 

lol at ‘The Merc front RX4's are arguably the best looking 70's coupes mazda made’

Even the RX5 is a better looker. 

Ran into the side of a van that pulled out in front of me from a side street in my old Celeste. Rolled the van onto its side. 

Got out and walked across the road to get away from it. By the time I got to the other side my ankle was so painful I couldn’t walk back ha. 

 Car was proper fucked but 2 months later it was advertised in the Autotrader looking all back together. Rang the guy and he swore black and blue it had never been in a crash. Went all sheepish when I told him I’d been the guy who crashed it. 

730’s hopeless. Don’t touch it. 

All the headaches  and none of the power. 

All my pics are pre digital and complete rubbish and lost. Stink. 

Have seen it go through trademe a couple of times though.

It is not that enjoyable driving a old car with rubbish handling and lame braking around, knowing it is worth so much.  I liked it better when they were in the $10 to $20K bracket...

I liked it when they were $3-$4k (my rx4 coupe). $50k not so much.

I've got 215/50 eagers all around. I imagine 235 being balloons.

They were ha. Had them on the back of my GTO too. 7” rims if I remember right. 

E46 racks are wider by maybe 100mm(?). 

Theres an e30 rack that’s unassisted too but might be a bit slow. 

BMW e30-36-46 all front steer racks.

Aren't those bloody toe rags like 100k new? Fuck I don't understand rich people, imagine losing 70k on a car in 4 years on depreciation. Ridiculous Shit.

 

Crazy huh?  Even worse if you buy the Porsche or Audi option.

What's a diesel Touareg worth? 

This is s 180 kw 2013. Mid $30k buys a decent one. Warranty/ insurance thingy is a good idea but parts aren’t really anymore expensive than anything else of this age. 

Just a lot more parts to go bad than something older I sppose. 

I love the diesel Touareg we got recently. Does nearly everything well and has 3500 kg tow rating. 

Is is this a, how you say, ling  post?

From some one who has done project management that fuck up is you plumbers fault they should be doing all timbers related to what they are installing.

Also all city council are cunts

love the house and the build though 

Grey area I guess. Anything structural like wall hung pans and sinks builders should be doing it. Anything for taps ect is up to  the plumbers. 

House is looking awesome though. You’ll be stoked to see them leave ha. 

Needs more than seals. Proper fucked. Needs a new pump. 

Powerbuilt 640818 best I can tell. 2 ton low profile. 

I have one of these

pieces of rubbish. The pump is shot ( leaks like a sieve) so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a supplier of parts? 

I'd do just about anything for beer.

Clint,

 

Whats the deal with chassis mods?

If I were to say, buy the back section of a chassis that is IRS, and stitch it to the rest of my chassis in my Crown wagon (talking solid chassis cars here) whats the legal requirements?

I assume fish plates, but thoughts?

When I did this to the e30 I also needed a printout from a digital chassis aligner/laser thingy showing it was all still square and straight. Was pretty easy in the end except there aren't many panel shops equipped with one. 

6 months for a bit of a skid. Cunt of a system.

3rd times a charm

Why wrap a rotary with such an ugly fucking car?

^ Needs more fishplating...

Flitch plating?

All good. Thanks Cletus.

Something something cut outs not that big something something ahem.
