Been lurking on here for a while, thought I may as well introduce myself
Bought my 89 a few months back. Found car on trade me, flew to Wellington with a mate, found car to have bald front tyres, blown shocks, a tendency to bounce off the road and a fair bit more wear than advertised. Bargained them down a bit in price and crept it back to Auckland with a few gravel excursions on the way.
Have since done a couple of track days, scored some 2nd hand coilovers, a few sets of wheels and given some serious TLC. Planning to do more track days and after seeing furai on the skid pan at hampton over the weekend pretty keen to give some drift events a go.
See you all out there

Gravel is so much fun in these cars
Good to see you're enjoying your car on the track, I want to do that with mine but can't until I spend money I don't have on things I need

If you do get into drifting be prepared to replace/fix/upgrade a lot of parts.

Yea they were a pretty good score, pity the offset is pretty average (they have spacers on here)
