He Sold it and bought a white turbo one..

Twin lamps are it! I have a pic of this car from a meet where it has twin headlights.

I have seen the white turbo one. I was driving mine at the time dont think the guy saw tho.

Its completely white! Very cool tho!

What year is the one you have? Looks like a late chin spoiler.

OMG there are Piazza cruises?!? :P

I mean, they're awesome cars but hardly common - Google's first search result was Piazza pizza ovens. "More than a cooking appliance, Piazza ovens are described as an entertainment centre. Dont gather around the TV, bring the family outside and get them involved in the cooking fun!" :wink:

And look at that guy on the left, hogging two carparks so nobody dings his car with their door.. :doubt:

I know all four of those cars. i was on that cruise..

The car on the far left is owned buy a mate in Auckland and is a limited edition Nero Irmisher turbo.

Probably the nicest example in the country. hence the two park space...

2nd one in is the new addition to the Oldschool stable. (when it had the twins)

The white one 3rd from the right is also a Nero turbo.

The 4th one is also a rare example known as the Bella" (plush interior that sort of thing)owned buy same mate from Aucks

And the red one half hidden behind the road sign is same mates red XS turbo.

Yes he has Three Piazza's

There are other photos of the next years cruise floating around somewhere....

Mine went up for that one..

Yeah i love my twin conversion!!!!!

Mine is an 84.

Na the chin spoiler came on the JDM turbo models.

I had to use a non turbo bumper cause mine was poked when i bought the car and i fitted the Turb chin to it.

Take your engine/head to the Engine Shop on Norton Road to get any work done. Not the one on Lake Road from my experience.

I might have some rear shocks that are very short. From my old Chevette, but might work for you. I can grab some lengths if you want?

These things are so 80's flying wedge its sweet, the dash feels like a cockpit

The old man had a rodeo with a 4ZE1 that he sold just before ticking over 400 thou, was still running sweet bar a minor oil thirst, that was a couple of years back and I still see it around.

It had crap old extractors fitted and went real well for a ute, very torquey engine but liked to drink gas

Should go well in a Piazza being alot lighter than a ute

Right I got the engine all wired up to the std ecu. Had a bit of a play around and has good cranking power a massive spark and was getting the fuel.

Cranked it a couple of times and lost spark?

When I took the coil lead off to check it was arcing 3-4cm to the rocking cover. Went to crank again and nothing.

Cant get it back, will go over everything tomorrow.

Looking forward to getting this beast going.

Was rocking the front suspension just cranking it!
