Who"s owned What cars ??

Mr Revhead · Post by **Mr Revhead** » Sat Nov 03, 2012 3:17 pm

Love these threads.... Lets see if I can remember them all.
In order:

1970 V6 Capri GT (Yes my first car!)
1968 Escort rally car (Young an dumb, bought a full on rally car to drive to work!)
1989 Toyota Levin. Just as fast as the Capri but less cool...
1990 Charade GTXX, Another version of the GTTi
Morrie 1300 as work hack
1978 HZ Holden Panel van (Yeah I'm a bogan...)
Datsun 120Y. HZ got nicked and bought this for $400, It had a 5 speed!
1980 Toyota Sprinter, bumblebee paint job!
XA Falcon. Auto, bench seats broken exhaust, looked and sounded like a streetstock

XD Falcon panel van
AE86 Corolla (bought and sold with blown engine)
Mazda MS6. Dumb choice.
86 Honda Prelude
1990 Nissan Bluebird SSS
1991 AE101 Levin
1986 AW11 MR2 with s/c conversion
KE70 Wagon
EP70 Starship
2x KP60 Rustlets
2000 Corolla Wagon (still have)
979 Vauxhall Chevette (still have)
2x Hillman Imps (still have)
Isuzu MU (still have)

Plan this summer is to sell the Imps, Corolla and Maybe the Chevette and gets me an MX5. Driving the GFs MX5 is such a tease! And to top it off, people just moved in next door have a tidy BRG one and park it right outside my bedroom.... wankers!

Someone's going to tell me off for zombifying this old thread, but I was searching for "wobbly crank pulley" and it came up.
So.

'94 N14 sentra sedan - Grandads car. 1600 twin cam.
'95 rover tomcat - First dumb purchase. Would've been great if it didn't have the halo effect about it and ... Well, wasn't fucked. 2.0 turbo that leaked everything, everywhere, all of the time.
'94 civic coupe. 1600 single cam vtec. Ironically the most unreliable of the lot, in terms of stuff breaking on me. Flat tyres, cvs, radiator + heater hoses... Poor maintenance on a previous owners part, but fine once the issues had been addressed.
'88 AE92 corolla hatch - 4A-F 1600 twin cam, Power nothing. This thing put a smile on my face every time I drove it. Made a cool noise starting up with the carb wide open.
'81 Porsche 924 - Weird single cam 2.0 8v Audi motor. Strong as hell, mind. Second dumb purchase. Great fun until it started costing me money and collecting rainwater in places I could hear but not see.
'97 Toyota carib BZ - 4A-GE blacktop.

Best car of the lot, I reckon; going to miss it when I flick it for an mx5.

HA Viva (with weber carb and coby, woo hoo!)
Datsun 120Y SW
Fiat 500
Escort sport Mk 2
Mini clubman 1380
Toyota Celica
Suzuki Samurai
Toyota Corona SW
Nissan Primera P11 TE
Mazda B2600i
BMW 318Ti
Mazda Mx5 NA

Of all, the mini was the nearest in fun value to the MX. 125WHP, used to blow up diffs and gearboxes practically monthly, dumped all its water randomly as modified minis do, torque steer that gave you a full upper body workout, and of course drum brakes 'cause i couldn't afford Cooper S ones.

The Primera was fun too, excellent handling, better than the bimmer is right now.

Pics of the civic ute

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Tue Jan 28, 2014 2:37 pm

sadly it was back in the mid 90's (pre cell phones with camera's) and I was never the sort of person to take photos. The civic to ute conversion was done really well, it wasn't a backyard hatchet job and it was unique enough to make me regret not having pics of it.

I really wish I had pics of my old escort panelvan too', it was seven shades of awesome.
