Subways Jared posted:Bright as any other taillight. A guy in Germany custom fabricates them just for 200's. A lot of attention is paid to retain OEM factory brightness. It's not some hack EBay taillight covers that would do something stupid like reduce brake lights visibility. It's applicable too since the original tail section housing there is cracked rubber and falling apart on these models by the times it's this age. The new ones I have on are practical, and visibility is not reduced at all. You spent a lot of time and money to look like you got kicked out of dubfest from bringing grandpa's car.

You Am I posted:Very cool. Interesting to hear from a previous Falcon Turbo owner as well. Love to buy one of those beasts one day, probably just as they are phasing the straight six out. If you do try and hunt one down try for a BA mk.II or above for the 6 speed auto if an auto is what you're after, and try to avoid anything with more than about 130k on the clock. Also make sure you have a good look at the brakes and look at maybe upgrading the front rotors if they look a bit worn. Franko fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Dec 26, 2009 |

1988 AW11 MR2 MK1 Series 2 Targa top Had 180k kms on it when I brought it 6 months ago, now up to 220. Currently as it stands it was a JDM Supercharged model which had the SC motor replaced with an NA Smallport for licensing reasons with the previous owner. Currently its my daily driver and I'm hoping to pickup a new daily shortly. Car is going under a full restoration process and upgrading, I'm in the midst of building a new 4AGZE (supercharged) for it however it will be using a twinscrew setup, cams, standalone, 8.9:1 compression, fully rebuilt from the ground up. Needless to say I pulled that crappy mesh off the front that the old owner put on as soon as I found a replacement front grill.

Taking a guess here, but NSW plates and an N/A swap would lead towards the previous owner being a P-plater, which means no turbos, SCs, V8s, or fast sixes. Presumably they just picked up a cheap NA motor, swapped it in with the intention of putting the blown one back in once they got a full licence.

Is that a "P" plate hanging down from his car in the third picture? Or just some random letter p?

That is indeed a P-plate. I hadn't noticed that. This explains the regs. Like most of the things the RTA does with new drivers, it's a good idea, executed in an utterly moronic way.

Had to ditch my '97 ranger and '89 wagoneer but also picked up an '09 Suzuki SX4 for about 16k. You'll never find an awesomer car for such little monies.

1.1L 2000 Pug 206 LX. I bought it for £400 2 years ago and have spent about that much fixing stuff on it. It understeers like you would not believe and is slow as hell with more than one person in it, but still my pride and joy

 Am i crazy? probably. From left to right: soon to be daily (95SC2 w/127k), current daily driver (96SL2 w/211k), and turdbo project (94SC2 w/ 120k-ish). My current daily has a rebuilt bottom end w/ a ported head and cams, bolt ons, and some suspenion mods. It's a peppy, decently fun daily driver that gets good gas mileage, but the frame is starting to rust a bunch so it's time to trade out. Also these car are pretty easy to work on now since I know waayyy too much about them.

A Twofer! I own a '97 M3. On my first (41 hour long) date with Jendywo, we went to see The Watchmen at the Westminster (CO) Promenade. Who should happen to have an open parking space next to him?  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. We still haven't met in person.

Awesome C32, I've always loved those cars! The blue glass looks sweet, I've never seen one without additional tint on the windows. I about jumped on a C32/SLK32 myself until I got extremely lucky and found its cousin for what amounts to a steal.
