Re: WHAT'S YOUR SPECIAL RIDE OR VEHICLE YOU HAVE
2005 Toyota Echo sedan (nope, it's not one of the boxy looking ones), dark grey. Upgraded from first car, which was 1991 Ford Laser and it caused me endless problems, including, towards the end of our time together, shutting off all of a sudden while i was driving and leaving me praying that nobody plowed into me. Actually, my Laser and I were accident free...all it took was me having my Echo for 3 days before someone ran into the back of the car

Re: WHAT'S YOUR SPECIAL RIDE OR VEHICLE YOU HAVE



Here is my weekender. Had a 202 / speed and howires when i got it.Dropped in a hot 186 , was going ot run triple su's but just stuck with a 350 holley. Now it has a hot little 253(big crane cam, YT heads,torker manifold, holley etc). I fitted the 15's , did a fair bit to the interior and did a bit of work underneath the car aswell Nice little cruiser. I am getting lazy though so i might stick in a manulised Trimatic! I just quit my job as a mechanic so i will have alot more enthusiasm to work on the car!
Hopefully it will all be going in a few months

Re: WHAT'S YOUR SPECIAL RIDE OR VEHICLE YOU HAVE
I have my r33 skyline gtst as my daily driver bus.
my toy is a 1984 et pulsar turbs currently sitting around collecting dust. clutch dead turbo fcked but apart from that just some hours spent underneath and she will be back and deadly. last dyno reading was 110kw atw on 10psi. With new injectors and boost up to 12 - 15psi should get around 130kw atw. not bad for a 1.5ltr donk and only weighs 900 kg in street trim.
mods include
t25 turbo
fmic
rb30 throttle body
microtech lt8 ecu
k&n pod
blitz bov
some lumpy cam (not sure of exact)
2 1/2" zaust into 4" cannon
sway bar
recaro seat
extreme heavy duty clutch (that i somehow broke)
riced up

In the process of fitting a new exhaust to my car.
here's the work in progress:

I'm a little worried about speed bumps, though.

I'd laugh, but that would just be bad karma

I have a 77 Torana Lx Hatchback
I have had it for about 3.5 years, had a few different motors in it and still have a lot more to do to it. I will post some pics up over the weekend.
Looking forward to seeing them AK. I thought it was time to post something different as I'm sure NPL guys and Gals have something different to the normal every day ride.

Thanks M8 I appreciate your input. I might put my Sprint Car on here too for some of those who may remember when I was racing.
