Come on, I know some of you are car freaks. Show us your 4 wheeled pride and joy. V8s, jap inline 4 turbo, flat 4, 390ci, 5.7 hemi, or maybe even a V12.

I have a wee blue one I take to work and back.

MrsB drives the bigger 'family' white one.

The white one is much better - it has a trailer hook.

My trailer is a 6 x 4 Briford, it too is blue.

When we head off camping I leave my wee blue one at home (it keeps my black motorcycle company), and we tow the blue trailer with the white car. Much fun is had by all for the designated holiday period and we return home.

As you can see I pay a lot of ACC ........

Yeah, I know its one of those type of vehicles, but I got my bike for when I want to appear normal, plus the kids call it 'the shaggin` wagon'

The most comfy vehicle we've ever owned for long trips, carrying mountainbikes or doing a bit of adventure driving (yes, really).

Plus the blood boiler: 1989 MR2 Supercharged G Limited. Totally stock in great nick. Bloody awesome fun to drive but a licence loser.

Neither of these are the actual vehicles but they are the same colours.

[huff3r]

Subaru Legacy RS Twin Turbo - gas guzzler and licence loser, but comfy and way up-spec for the price! Climate control, 4wd, ABS, all the extras a 94 could ask for!

And the fun one.... BMW 320i E30 racecar, full rollcage, bucket seats and harnesses etc... currently in the garage awaitng a heart (engine) transplant.

No climate control, no 4wd, no traction control, no hairdryer psssssssst thing, not even a c.d. player but it has got electric windows & headlights + it's bloody loud & obnoxious when ya give it some love.

Just an old skool pushrod / naturally-aspirated V8 donk with a 3" exhaust & it hauls ass, even with all the family & shit in it. Awesome fun, especially on long trips & in the wet.

[McJim]

Mitsubishi Legnum 25 ST-R. 2.5l V6....it's enough but not too much - basically a VR4 without the turbos.
Missus has a Subaru Grand Wagon 2.5 flat 4. Torquey and good on rough stuff.

Used to have a 2003 Falcon but sold it due to loss of company car (resigned from my last job as it made me suicidal) Good thing was I was able to buy 2 cars with the proceeds of selling 1 car.

Hated the company car anyway - 'twas a Ford Mundane-o.

This powerhouse....

My Wife has one of those but an A30, it shares the garage with my bikes. She also has a 02 Corolla (daily drive) and I have an 04 last of the Mitzi Galants. Its a manual and a six cylinder, quite entertaining for a cage.

[Brett]

The wifey has a VW Passat 4motion
I drive a 2008 Mitsi Triton Ute & a Hyundai Lantra for carting things around that would dirty up either of the new cars.
Might be keen to look at an Evo 9 sometime soon too or a 2008 Audi RS4 if things go the right way by this time next year...

[Max Headroom]

I knock around in an old '92 Subaru Legacy wagon. The lovely Mrs Headroom has a later Subaru Lancaster 3 litre 6 cyl wagon. Both have towbars & roof-racks and both are eminently practical, although the older wagon is the preferred choice for trips to the dump, collecting motorcycle parts, and other grubby duties. It's a 2 litre turbo, and is lots of fun in spite of its age.

We have a summer toy as well, an E36 BMW M3 convertible. Surprisingly practical 'cos it's a 4-seater.

Saw a few Austens over labour weekend heading out from Feilding,looked bloody mint the lot of them.Had an old A40 as first car when a teenager,had flames and a paint tray upside down on bonnet,looked good at time,thinking back what a piece of shit lol,but man it could travel over paddocks,farm tracks etc,even ended up with a few bullet holes at the end,after we shot the .22 into it,except the front passenger window was wound down,then a mate decided to shoot the passenger door as it was only one without a hole,before I could say stop,he fired needless to say the window wasn't bullet proof.

[Motu]

I have an '89 Pajero diesel - 330,000km.2nd engine,4th cyl head.Can carry 7 people,or whatever the hell I want to put in the back.Tow bikes on a trailer as far off road as I like.Monetary value and condition are immaterial - so long as it does what I need it to,when I want,then it has a purpose in my life.When it fails to meet those conditions it will be gone.

My wife drives a '94 Mercedes C220 - not as luxury spec as her old Diamante,but it sure sucks less fuel.Handles like a German car should.

I have owned some nice cars in a previous life. I once owned the best handling car ever made, at least to my knowledge. Peugeot 106 Rallye.

There is a video here featuring the 106 gti but I reckon the Rallye I had handled better.

I also had an Integra Type-R. Wonderful machine...

The video is not my car but that is a superb example:

I've got an '08 Falcon for when I'm acting all civilised like and an old 3L Pajero for any of those muddy bloody smelly bush beach or river bashing missions.

And when I'm not driving, I just pour petrol straight on the ground.

I remember back in 1995, Brand new Supra twin turbo (320bhp) was priced at $160,000.

So mine should be around $190,000 then?

Or, if counting the NZ-version was limited to 280bhp (following Japan version, while the US got it at 320bhp), mine should perhaps be around $217,000?

VF Valiant.

Mine was a 4-door that had had the slant six replaced with a 318 V8 - in a way that wouldn't pass the kinds of tests done today. (For a start it was a few inches off centre).

It was a wreck from day one, and I hardly used it. All it did was kill grass. But damn it was nice.


I still dream of a 2-door VF or VG Valiant, one day...

Peugeot 205 GTi
Noice! :niceone:

I don't actually have a car (most of them are SO boring and sucky!), but up until a couple of weeks ago, we had one of those in the gargre. Blardy thing was very tiring to drive - it was always going, "Go faster..FASTER, you pussy!" :Pokey: The 205GTi is like driving a street-legal go kart.

Now, because of #2Son blowing the head gasket in it, I'm sorta bikeless. The bike languishes in the gargre, while I drive him to/from work in the wife's 2001 Peugeot 306 (last of the gooduns). I also have access to #1Son's Fiat Punto - it's a piece of crap, but easy to drive, and fairly comfy. Just wish I'd bought the sports shocks I saw on TardMe shortly after I bought the thing. It's so freakin' boingy and bouncy - I dunno how it gets a WOF. :confused:

Most of you seem proud of your cars. :confused: With a few exceptions, I can't see why, especially with the crappy used Jap imports... :Pokey:

Maybe its because some people enjoy "crappy used Jap imports". I personally can't see anything wrong with mine, for the price it was itd be impossible to buy something nicer. Or if i could get something less "japanese" itd be old and shit.

Not all Jap is crap, just like not all Euro is good. Comparatively my subaru seems to drive and handle almost as well as my BMW, albeit with a lot more power. And im sure itd be plenty better than say a Volvo!

Doesn't burn any oil either all though it's got a small leak. The thing's never reving you see, 1900RPM at 100kay. Daily driven and is quite literally, better than new.

Oh my. Not sure I should post this pic in here, you all have such "cool" cars. My first car was a 1965 Valliant AP5. If I win lotto I will go out of my way to source one and make it the yummiest car. Straight 6 that took no prisoners. 3 speed forward, one reverse. Went like a scolded cat :yes: Line locked, full throttle the smoke had to be seen to be believed :innocent:

No such thing as going straight around corners :nono: Tail out 4 wheel drifting was the norm :dodge: Spun it out one day, I braked heading into a corner :pinch: I had to you know, some fool had parked a car part way through the corner, I just knew I would hit it with the arse end of my bomb cornering normally :D

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3538009706_0f7a8e5f2d_m.jpg

Went like a rocket, was rust free (had a panelbeater mate that hand beat panels for her) Multi coloured then though, every time he fixed something it got sprayed a different colour. Eventually I painted her all over primer grey, man she was cool! :love:

Sadly dead, written off on the Royal Oak roundabout, by the young fella I sold it to, that did not listen when I said she was uncontrollable around corners.

Obviously not my own car, but one suspiciously like it :yes:
PS: stop talking about cars!

Nah that's about right for an SR20DET when driving spiritedly. That's not much power considering you were running 18psi? I've seen 6a13s make better power than that with less or similar boost, unless you mean it's power measured at the treads?


That's if I'm driving reasonably hard. It's running 1 bar boost, soon it will be wound up to at least 17psi.

I've known people with a few 13s, 14s and gtir's and they have never been too good when thrashed. Chances are they haven't replaced the O2 sensor, a Nissan part recommended for replacement every 40k [from memory] on most models, they can fuck the consumption. A mate at the moment has an S14 [with a 15 front, yum] and he was getting 400km a tank from normal cruising. I replaced the 02 sensor and on the open road it nearly gets 600k

[White trash]

Yeah, I'd definitly say it's a maintainence issue if they're overboard on the gas consumption.

[SMOKEU]

Got a nice list of mods and shiny bits I can drool over? :Punk:

Forged pistons, Garrett turbo, Walbro fuel pump, 2.5" exhaust, screamer pipe (will be fitted soon), King springs, 1 bar loop etc

[ducatilover]

Yeah, I'd definitly say it's a maintainence issue if they're overboard on the gas consumption. Yep. But 16 liters per 100km isn't too high for a 2.0 turbo if you ask me [when raped] a cm5a lancer gsr is only a 1.8 and they struggle to average 10l/100km in my experience.

That should move along quite well for a little beast, done a quarter in it? I would expect a very low or flat 14 if it's running nicely

My 2.0 Twin Turbo still manages a reasonably respectful 12-14l/100km when its being driven hard, driving responsibly it manages a slightly better 10-11, and down to almost 8 on motorway driving.... bloody thing is near full boost on the 1st turbo at motorway speeds!

Gready frontmount. Gready external wastegate. Gready show off valve. Garret turb. Link engine management system. a wheelie bar too

dont forget the 6 inch tacho :laugh:

I dont know a hell of alot about GTIRs, but i know they were made for WRC. They didnt win, but that was put down to the dunlop tyres and the inefficiency of the top mount in hot weather. A couple issues fixed and i think it could of done well

The Victor was mine also, not such a great pick up car....:confused:
Great car though! The size boot in it was enormous. Mine could fit items that would never fit into anything else and you could sit in the engine bay with the engine.

1994 HSV 215 Senator. One of only two in Massai Red in the country.

392000km, not once had the intakes or rocker covers off. 12 way bump and rebound adjustable Konis coil-overs on all corners, full nolathane fit-out, big brake option, manual dif ratio.

5.7L of raaky power.

Which reminds me, I need to take some nice pics of it.

Factory t28 which is a lot bigger than the Silvia t28s. Nissan say it will do a 1/4 mile in 13.9 in standard trim, I've never put it on a drag strip though.

Wot Pussy said! The 3.3 was a great car! I had the PC Cresta, 1970 model and it was a cruiser without peer! I always wanted the Victor Viscount though...

I recommend getting at least a piggyback fuel controller (SAFC is a cheap one), and do a dyno tune.

Mine went up from 240kW to 280kW just from tuning. That's how badly inefficient untuned vehicle can get.

My first car was a 1984 Nissan Silvia, S12, SOHC 1.8 l non-intercooled turbo. Someone had mucked around with the turbo and I had to change it shortly after buying it - with the new mill it was an awesome car to drive.

Not my old car, but same colour and model:

Now I've got the most anonymous car on the road, a stock standard white 1998 Subaru Legacy GT-B, manual of course. A bit thirsty, but in all regards a pleasant and practical car for getting around the South Island. She looks a bit rough around the edges, but that's fine with me. Been spending the money on proper maintenance instead of irrelevant cosmetics.

Did zillions of miles in it and (in it's day) it pulled like a school-boy.

Had two other after that, great cars for the time.

Traded my first one in on the 1955 Ford F100 I still have.

It was probably the same ute I saw on trademe around this time last year. Wanted about 6 grand for it, in Dannevirk or somewhere down there. When I went back on a few days later the listing was pulled.

Used to use her every day contracting, now retired to taking the dogs to the vets and grocery shopping. On my 5th second hand engine, one day I will drop a recon motor in there, but for $300 ish a throw for second hand engines, it never seemed worth the bother.
Got it down to a fine art now. Pick up new (second hand:o) engine on the back, drive in the garage, chain block it out of the tray, drive out and turn around, drive back in and pull out knackered motor, roll back and chainblock new (not so knackered) motor and roll forward and drop it in. Whole proceedure takes 4-5 hours and back on the road again.

Correct, it's an EH.
I have an HR ball joint front with boosted Torana discs, so EJ-HR sumps fit perfectly and I have a few spare so I can fit one before transplanting, not during. The dratted 202 blew my original Hydromatic and from then on started using a trimatic. Still keep the Hydromatic badge on the tailgate just because it's cool:cool:
One good smack with the hammer sorts any oil pickup clearence issues:pinch:

I was doing 40,000 miles a year for 6 years towing trailers etc and she pretty much fell apart so trying to be a bit more respectful now and got an HQ/HJ ute for the dirtywork these days

The plan is to finish some rust patch welding underneath (It has launched more than a few boats :doh:) then matte black her and fit a recon 179 HP and convert back to 3 on the tree full syncro HJ box

There will be a Ferrari California and an F430 along with several other Italian exotics and classic Ferraris will be displayed at Euromarque for two days only, from tomorrow Friday to Saturday. The display is to celebrate the new setup of Euromarque and to introduce the California to New Zealand.

Pop in and have a look. Unfortunately the California is not the "Rosso Corsa" red but Azzurro Monaco (i.e. Light Blue). However it still looks beautiful.

Yeah it's quiet, comfortable, fast and reasonably discreet.

It's a manual with a fly by wire throttle and a hydraulic clutch that gives zero feel through the pedal... which makes it a bit finicky to get off the line. You can stall it, bog it, limp it off the line, get it off the line quickly, REEEEALLY launch it or burn the clutch... experience makes things easier but it's not a city car.

I drive the mighty Dihatsu Mira. All 850cc of petrol power producing about 40+ hp. I am looking at upgrading to a brand new VW Golf or Audi A3 hatch in the middle of this year. Either one in white with manual tranny will keep me happily satisfied for some time.

I call it the tank becaues it's big slow and takes a sh!tload of stopping.

I also bought it for next to nothing as a non going concern and fixed it up with some help from my mates and made 3k on the value of it :yes:

AU Falcon that ticked over 550,000km on Tuesday, unopened engine. My cheap daily run around.

And a dirty old Jeep Cherokee I picked up for $1200, this things had a right thrashing, never dies, even after 15 mins down Muriwai beach after she boiled all the water out of the cooling system.
