  1. sounds mean mate,if im ever in ashvegas again(highly likely) ill keep an ear out for it oh,i picked up a matching drivers seat for the passengers wrx seat i got off you,paid even less for it,lmao.theyre going into the cortina sport before too long
  2. owned it a week and a half,so far we have had to fit 5 speed as 4 speed thrust bearing collapsed,and a whole new exhaust system as old one ripped apart.still owes us less than 2k though so cant complain too much ae new exhaust from Mark@Pitstop Hornby tis a 2" system,single muffler with 2.5" tailpipe and 5 speed.yes the exhaust hangs low under gearbox,am going to fit a bash plate before i lower it the broken bits
  3. im with k-trips on the half inch band widening,but i reckon blue could be a go,has to be the right shade though otherwise it may as well be cat shit brown wheels,lmao
  4. i know Rick thats organising it with Alan,depending what state my cortina is in i should be able to race for OS(should be 80% complete by then with tech inspection 4 drag racing ).wont be the fastest car but dont think itll be the slowest either. i can also get us a 9 second s1 rx7 if we need it
  5. you sure Karl??it used to be light blue,guy we bought it off primered it.and ive already got the ghia door cards out of mine in it rego number LB1686? I think about 3 owners ago a mate in ashburton had it. he sold it to someone in chch who then sold it to the guy you got it off. when my mate had it it was light blue with the S decals etc, it looks pretty swish, i will see if he has any pics of it. if you do want a proper set of the blue S doorcards i have some here good guess,it is indeed the same car .from memory the S decals were gone when my mate(who we bought it off) got it,but otherwise it was all there.my mate wasnt the kindest to it though so i will be doing a major tidy up on it .and i may grab the blue door cards at some point,for now though Liv and i want the ghia interior in it.although i am missing one thing for the ghia stuff,the proper centre console.you dont have one do you?? PS:spotlights are now gone,one didnt work anyway and ive never liked spotlights on mk5s unless theyre the factory ones inset into the grill
  6. you sure Karl??it used to be light blue,guy we bought it off primered it.and ive already got the ghia door cards out of mine in it
  7. i use the same method on mk5 cortina front ends
  8. it already sits like that,lmao.we paid 5/8ths of fuck all for it so cant complain too much.and at this stage it will either end up black or purple(Livs favourite colour).i would like to find a set of sport decals for it but finding them in silver could be tricky.oh,and the hotwires have been moved to my escort van as ive always wanted hotwires for it.this is going to be running boat trailer rims aka modgies for a bit until i can find another pair of 13x6 spitfires then itll will have those on all round,hopefully with BF goodrich T/As as thats what my current pair of spitties are running
  9. you just dont like to share... greedy sod never.............. .but im actually being serious,she had serious health issues as a kid and some are ongoing unfortunately .on the camping side of things,im happy with whatever you guys decide ae PS:scooters should be ridden to Kaikoura instead of Hoki
  10. could be keen in the mk5 sport,mrs not so much as she gets sick very very easily
  11. count me in,cortina will be there,half assembled but running none the less
  12. cause i got the pair for under 75 bucks.and ive had the passengers one in my ghia before,doesnt look as bad as you would think ae
  13. ditching primer before the year is out(its slowly washing off anyway).liberal slammage is not what im going for,decent slam is more like it,although not as low as you wag Beaver.and twin 40s will go on the ghia before this as ghia is becoming RACECAR >
  14. well the release bearing in the clutch let go an hour ago so i have no choice,5 speed here i(should be we ) come.and ill be bringing Beka (74 grunter) with me too
  15. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=33420 the offending vehicle
  16. discussion: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33421 so,for those of you that dont know,Liv aka Alto_90 on here is my partner.she just bought this,but we are doing it as a joint project.its a genuine mk5 sport,2 litre 4 speed,we THINK its lowered slightly on hotwires,and a quick primer job.plans more low,5 speed out of my ghia(thats going to 4 speed for drags),change of rims,new paint,wrx front seats,and a decent stereo system As purchased(except for battery)
  17. now i am in possession of a road legal oldschool automobile i shall be there,most likely with the mrs as its technically her car .will see if beka(74 grunter) wants to come too
  18. did you end up getting that red sport that was for sale in Hanmer Springs? nice hunter too . I have a random box of bits left over from when I had mine, free if you want it Nah Karl,bought it off a mate who lives just upthe road from me,wasnt even advertised anywhere.and ill come grab that box of Grunter parts for Beka at some point seeing as i know where you live Glenn,ill go pick Beka up in the new cortina and drag her to the meets if i have to,lol.shes been my best mate for 6 n 1/2 years now
  19. Glenn its not running at the moment,Bekas partner Kris(that Matt said about) and I tried to get it running saturday night but theres less spark in it than a 1.5 volt battery.however,what they have planned for it is pretty cool,and will surprise a few people. PS:i have no excuse for not attending OS meets now,im picking up a mk5 cortina sport tonight,lmao
  20. ive been told safe R can do 2.5" now,cannot confirm this though.i know for sure he can do up to 2"
  21. John at Safe R exhaust,built a twin 2 inch system for mates v8 XB coon with custom mufflers(self built),for 440 bucks,average price for a single pipe system is around 220 mark
  22. nicley done,sucks about the tramp though.hopefully bushes will cure it though ae
  23. was good to meet you to mate .did you go any quicker than 15.1??my 2 mates both had issues,Nathan in 1EVIL7 ran a 9.40,9.30 and a 9.35 before his 6 year old clutch gave up.Kris running his black s5 RX7 only managed 2 runs,i only got his first run which was 11.75 with wheelspin the whole quarter.all in all it was a decent day,if a little low on numbers.what did you think overall EFI_LC??
