Lol yea and yup the curtain is in good nick! covers the 6x9 and upholstery 'feature; rather nicely, no tunes yet, stereo is still resting in back foot well with the handbrakes (bricks)

have the chrome trim for arch but no strip :/ goin hunting down at Wilfs tomorrow

Steering heel aint that bad apart from tapping the dash with fingers, knees touch it already so would hate think/remember what it was like with a bus wheel.... (Have one in the the shed if I want to get crazy OEM spec)

eleccy window squirter is nice and who's responsible for the extra indicator "indicator"?

[Guest JoKer]

my "other" car while I sort Gearbox on RED and Exhaust on WHITE and WOF on Legacy

dumb fwd offsets on the Mark VI Escort, mags no go :/

[Guest Rookie]

I'm pretty sure it's against the rules for Amish dudes to use power tools?

[Guest JoKer]

I was looking the other way

[Guest Rookie]

Oh ok, carry on then hahaha

[JoKer 16,789]

in other news : traded Escort for this

 

 

I feel a little dirty now

[bathcollector 2,725]

Nick swearing  haha. Did he tell you about his wagon ?

[JoKer 16,789]

there weren't swear words as much just muttering., dont believe i have had the pleasure of wagon time yet down in the pro-tune garage

 

I have also been warned that starter is not so good on the ring gear equipment, as soon as the OEM one returns it will go back in

Rolling in headlight envy right now.

[locost_bryan 14,344]

Always thought the Avenger Alpine was a good looking car, and Noddy Murdoch's went like stink.

[kyteler 49,551]

Have you seen that 1600GLS down here on the tard? Two k and de-reg.  Dreaming! 

[JoKer 16,789]

hah yeah & it's about right, not seen them go for much less lately

the wagon sold for a bit more that the reserve too (Had a Toyota 5 Speed)

[Regarding your datsun thread]

How is it possible that your cars get such horrible fuel economy?

Even with carbs I have never hit those numbers. You'd think 11 L/100km would be the absolute most a little 1100 would consume. I guess the auto sucks a bit?

[JoKer 16,789]

yeah

only one long trip for the Datto in last tank (Dvk > Waipuk & back)

otherwise work is aprox 1.1 km away from Home (old Tiny home of 10 years)

and for most of this year its been 4 minutes drive (moved house) so always cold / short bursts to 50 kph etc

even before that was over the Saddle to the Wifes) last 4 or 5 years runnings

and yeah the Subaru Turbo 2 L is my best achiever so far that I bought & 100% throttled around the track for most of its time with me LOL

also yeah the Commy aint running right either, get around 300km per tank before it starts cutting out (45-50L)

done leads & plugs might be time to pull the module out under the coils etc

[kyteler 49,551]

Hah. Jezuz Cripes.

Datsun 260C I6: 14.6

Nissan Navara V6: 11.7

Mazda Rx7 R2: 15.6

Nissan Cima V8: 15.3

BMW 528 I6: 11.6

Toyota Carina I4: 10.1

Nissan Skyline Turbo I6: 10.7

 

How are your small cars so inefficient?  Do you run them on 91?

 

[locost_bryan 14,344]

That's not bad for a V6 Navara.
