Background: After accidentally hijacking Gavs/~Slideways~ build thread, thought I should make one of my own. Here is my 1991 hunk-o-junk. I purchased the car in Whangarei, was driven up to collect it and took it back to Auckland. Did not check for rust as well as I should have, however ended up getting a gem. The car was always meant to be a daily, but we kind of know how that goes. It lasted about 6 months of minor changes here-and-there. The big issue right from the get go was the plasti-dipped exterior and weird racing strip. It obviously meant the paint would be rough underneath and plasti-dip is a real pain to remove. I've been trying everything possible to remove it, and in the end a good solvent and some elbow grease ended up being the play. Additionally, the car had no power steering and the A/C was NFG, which is an expensive fix due to being r12 not r134a and not technically legal anymore. I did all the fun road-trip things you are supposed to do in a newer car. Engine was running well, gearbox was smooth, clutch was fine (for now). Ended up changing the clutch about 3 months in after being "that guy" merging into a motorway at 60km/h trying to baby the clutch. Around this time I noticed the diff was playing up, and it wasn't. Turned out I have the mazdaspeed 6" clutch-type LSD (as well as mazdaspeed adjustable dampening shocks and mazdaspeed upgraded swaybars). Turns out the car was a good buy after all! Also had a run-in with some shitheads thieves. Fortunately they didnt break anything, just my faith in humanity but it was a good lesson to not leave my car parked outside! Anyway, the positives and negatives: +It ran and drove +Mildly upgraded (kinda old) suspension parts +Clutch-type LSD +Plenty of boot space +Mint soft-top with glass window +Decent interior -Sounds bad -Looks bad -Slow Now that we know whats wrong with it, why don't I go ahead and modify literally everything that doesn't help those three points? Good idea... (Keep in mind I am a student, most of the "Why did you not just pay someone to do it" questions I usually receive can be answered by lack of funds).
