Wounders on tour

[DoBro Jesus]

Sup yo. 

So a group of us are doing another shitbox challenge thing next week. This year, buying and modifying cars for less than 1500 bucks in the theme of the Golden era, aka, early 2000s.

So we're off on a roadie in our creations next Tuesday, cutting another lap of the south island. Gonna be staying in Nelson 8th November, hokitika 9th, queenstown 10th and invers on the 11th. Thought it'd be worth a post up here if anyone local wants to come out for a brew and a yarn when we're in each town. Will probs do a really shit park up and cruise in each town for a laugh and to be general pests. 

4/5 of the cars we're using. And there's an EK civic hatch as well.

Come hang!

Heading back up sat morning. Planning to be in timaz around lunch or just after. Pest around 4nR for a bit then head back to crimechurch so we can cut some hektik laps of the Aves on sat night.

Savage - Swing will be bumping hard. Licence plate rattling in the distance

We wanted to do the scenic route but it'll just make it an even longer day. Would rather do the catlins when we have more time up our sleeves for serenity stops etc.

As long as you take plenty of oil for the Mirage nothing is likely to stop.

 

Unless. . .

 

 

That's a BG GTX?

Just a 1500 familia. So i believe we're safe with gearbox issues... hopefully.

Mirage is a surprisingly un-smokey boi thankfully! I believe it's actually been a semi well maintained vehicle. 220ks on it and it's noice and clean under the freshly painted rocker cover.

only 1/2 to 3/4 hour difference, and saves smoking out SH1 with madza and mishitbus oil fumes !!

Still quite glass gearboxes if abused, little bro had a mate in the early 00s who could change one out in less than 30 mins with practice....

This still on schedule?
I've actually got Friday off so could catch up in Invers, think I'm off to car show in TeAnau on Sat morning. Only thing planned Friday is working on my daily (ironically an early 2000s subie) after I've dropped kids at school...

Yeah man absolutely. We're currently in Nelson. Headed off to hokitika this morning. Will let you know a time and place!

[DoBro Jesus]

Oh yeah, we made it to Nelson...

[DoBro Jesus]

Did some dyno runs..

[tortron]

What the heck, the cars look great, I thought this was a shitbox tour

 

Night pic for thr underglow? 

[DoBro Jesus]

And of course did a mandatory park up at Tahuna Beach.

So far so good. The NX Trans is giving issues. Sometimes it wants to go into overdrive, sometimes it won't. Trans is getting pretty warm so we were up til midnight fitting another Trans cooler to it. Fingers crossed we have more luck today!

We may have gone a little overboard haha. I think we've all stayed within budget. Or near enough at least.

[DoBro Jesus]

Mandatory stickers. Follow our shit adventures.

[EpochNZ]

I hate to say it, but that Mirage does look rather fetching in its two-tone scheme....
