When it suffers a failure which is uneconomic to repair, giz dem seats pleez.

Getfuckedcunt

Both the front and rears in the 164 are so fucking comfy. I only just found the switch the other day for the heated rear seats too. Such luxury.

Also the one thing that irks me so much is that the busso had been dropped by the time the 159 rolled around. The most handsome wagon, combined with the best sounding v6 would have been such a great thing.

10/10 would recommend manual busso ownership. I'm loving this thing at the moment.

I'd be very interested to see what that p11 goes for. Rare version of what is essentially one of the most worthless cars haha.

From car #30 is in Wellington, but not every car got a trip over the hill. The S401 did; Twin turbo 293 PS, manual, AWD, still not as fast or fun as the Swift (albeit people used the slow lane a lot when that thing came storming up behind them).

Ooooooooof that no.1 spot. Jdm prefacelift mirage hatch with fender mirrors. Max gush.

My work car is a turbo diesel swift. 

It almost goes hard for what it is.

You'd almost say it's, swift? Puhuhuhu 

Damn. Much jealousy of that trip. Looked epic!

What's wrong with the paj? (Apart from the badge with three diamonds)

Front end needs a rebuild. Everything is sloppy and fucked, bushes, mounts etc. The steering is uhhhh, vague at best. And gotta get another centre link after my one got bent on the last reefton trip.

sad to see c5 wagon written off.

roof racks look decent.

They were gonna be the first thing I took off. Anything over 120k and they howled like a mother fucker.

fuck that sucks. I guess insurance (if it was still insured) will write it off?

That's the worst part. He canceled insurance on it. So, so shit. What is wrong with people.

They just sent me this.

Be sure to let us know when it's fixed and for sale again.

You keen on it? In all other respects it was a fucking nice car. Sooooo comfy with the hydrospastic suspension and full leather interior. It did also go into limp mode once after a full nang on a passing lane. It's got a remapped ecu along with EGR and DPF delete. Went bloody well.... until it didn't...

Yeah OK so c5 wag turned to shit. Nuked it's head/headgasket just north of patea, old mates middy drove down and picked me up, got a full refund. Real GCs. Then back to new Plymouth and just flew to wellington. Colossal fuckup of a day.

Don't buy French shit.

Are the later MZR 2.5s as bad at lunching bearings/oil usage like the earlier 2.3s? Those later shape atenzas seem to be coming down in price, and they're a great looking wagon. Especially with a manual option.

Blue angel eyes and that damage on the leather of the recaros would've made me walk away.

A few Hondas of that era would shudder if the inner CV joints were poked.

Yeah that's pretty much it. The blue lights were pretty wounding. 

Yeah went and had a geez at that absolute today. Fuck they're sweet wagons. This one had been a bit neglected. Oil leaks, scratches inside and out. Weird smell, Had a horrendous vibration/shudder when you gave it the beans. Doorted well for what it is though. I walked away purely cause it wasn't as good an example as the listing made out. Recaro seats were A++ as fuck though.

Thats such a bizarre option. Oh yes, lets put massive recaro sport seats in our people mover, so you cant turn around to check on your children in the back seat.
