Did the beige one have 2 white "GT" stripes?? Last time I saw the green/blue one was about 5 years ago, and it sounded like it was revving quite high!! ;) Sounded awesome for the record...

You ain't built a tough 3k til it looks like that one!! Thats a beauty... Don't they call it a 150E or something??

I went back to the wreckers today, and they fixed all the big leaks... It still has like 3 small ones, but it'll do to get her to the bodyworks and back. Contacted the dude up north this morning about the 2 wagons he was holding for me... Bastard sold them!! I must admit it has been a while since I called him, coz I was trying to arrange the weekend off/tow car/stuff to do engine swap in dad's driveway, but I did ask him to keep them for me, and tyhat it would be a few weeks!! Khunt... Ah well. She goes in tuesday for a chassis alignment inspection...

Werent the ZZ engines a FWD only?? That is, the block won't mount up to a rwd box, unlike fWD A-series engines...

OK... So now I'm desperate!! Going up to Devonport next weekend to buy 2 more wagons, but I still don't know if the van is worth repairing!! If its not worth repairing, then there is no point buying the 2 wagons, as its gonna be a logistical nighmare bringing them all the way down to hobart, considering I know no one with a tow vehicle!! If someone has a project Corolla that is not going, all I need is the radiator for 1 DAY... Just to get the van to the bodyworks and back!! Even a shithouse one will do... as long as it will keep the engine cool for about 10mins each way!! I just went to the wreckers and bought the last corolla radiator out of the only corolla they have, paid $50, got it home and its f@$ked!! bottom neck leaks, and thats without the system pressurised!! :) So can someone get me out of a bind!! I'll save radiators coming out of my ears when I get these wagons, but there is no point going thru it all if the van is beyond repair!! I CANNOT afford this shit!! HELP!!!!

Check the Tassie section... Rob has a gold set with semi-slicks for sale

I like this engine!! Lovely engine in the 750iL and 850CSi. However, it apparently costs $1500 per dealership service, and is a nightmare to change spark plugs on...

10cm tall BMW?? is there a misssing 0 or maybe one for those m's shold be a c???

BMW "Nazca".. What a shit name!! 1991. V12 but only 300BHP... weak Whats that??

Give the man a beer!! PV444 or a 544... Not a whole lot of difference cosmetically :) Pretty wicked for a Volvo!!! Any one who has seen the red PV544 Targa car in action... f@$k!! He drives it Hard!!

Do you know what number?? Or are we just gonna settle for "Volvo"?? :)

Its not american...

Is it close enough then?? :)

Hillman Imp Coupe... Thats some tidy lookin' shit!! Is that right??

The TE27 wasn't a Group B!! The Turbo-twincam Celica or "whistling Pig" was TTEs only group B car. They finished a pair of MR2 Group B cars, but then the formula was shutdown!! Reinhard Klein's book says that the TE27 had coil rear, which is kinda strange, but I can't find any pics to back that info up. The TA22 was Toyota's first production Rally car, then they swapped to the TE27. They built a 2L version, but couldn't homologate it in time (if they had, rally-statisticians suggest that it would have been better than the Escort), + Toyota Head Office decided that it wanted to market the Celica as Toyota's "Sports Car", so the Corolla uber rallycar died til the WRC car from a few years back!!

All of the above are great, and I have used those in the past... :) We had some crazy 'gojo' stuff on a sexy lookin wall-mounted dispenser... and it smelt real noice!!! :y:

FFFFFFAFAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! Now thats BUSTED!!!

Towbar?? What on the rally AE86?? Nah.. It'd be a rear-facing dust lamp.

I'm not sure... I was told to use the lucky button. Its a shame the old "Weapons of Mass destruction" 404 error doesn't still work... That was well funny!!

Eco-tec powered Gemini or 1J powered KE30... I'd have a dirty Escort before a Gemini!!

Wouldn't it be lovely to smash the absolute be-jesus out of them, and leave them bleeding in the gutter... + the ones who ripped off my house + the ones who keyed my BMW and stole my valve caps (don't laugh, the valve caps were hand-crafted titanium, milled by a good friend) + the lowlife who smashed my mate's face... A random stranger who king-hit him from behind!! I reserve my years of un-vented rage for the day I finally find this person...

I CONCUR!!! :) Corolla pwnz Gemini 4 eternity!! You know it makes sense... Pic is the only Gemini worth having... Opel Kadett GTE grp. 4

I think the correct way to do it is: 2 words into google (whatever.. just 2 random words) then... Hit the "I'm feeling Lucky" button. I'm not sure of the proper term for it... But I'm pretty sure if it doesn't come up with anything, its called a "Google-whack", and Google want to know about it!!

Make sure its done properly, by someone who is qualified. I had one in my old KE36, it had been there for a while (10+ years), but it was a leaky muthaf...ing c.nt of a thing!!! I'd advise don't do it, but if you must, pay the good $$, get a guarantee on workmanship, it'll probably be fine. Unless its factory fitted, I wil NEVER have a sunroof in a car again!!

It'll be a few weeks yet, but I'll let you all know when they arrive.
