Nothing on the interior as it copped a backyard retrim in the late '90's so its pretty horrific.

Plans to get it over the pits, then finish it off with the things I want. Goal is to have a quick, neat, streeter.

[Dzenci]

Nice car mate.
Good list of mods too. :)

U didn't purchase it ex QLD by any chance, I was enquiring about a similar one a while back that was selling in QLD ?

[Tones]

Yeah, original owner is a good friend of a friend. Guy at work brought it, got a lot of work done then changed his mind and sold it to me.

[Dzenci]

^^
I thought it was the one.
Good buy man, should go hard with that set up.

[Tones]

Yeah doesn't go to bad. External gate and 4" zorst sounds nice hahaha

[family guy]

Nice rotary, that washer bottle must get pretty hot after a flogging. Besides that it seems to have everything u could want on a rota.

[Lasoya]

Nice build mate, thought that street looked familiar lol, you just live down the street from me

[grogers]

fark looks good man!
love the clean engine bay

[rucker_]

Gorgeous car.

[OLSKOOL1800]

I saw this in your avatar and wondered what the story was.
Looks pretty tidy mate.
When are you licensing the big girl?

[kurbn]

always loved these, such a tough looking car!

[shifted]

Fuck it is sweet! Congrats!! Car looks amazing from the pictures.

Yeah for a 10 yr old paint job she came up good. Needs a good spray later on but rego more important.
Will be leaving it with Jonny for a bit while I'm on holidays but once back will get stuck in and hopefully be cruising around.

[anton]

knew it wouldnt be too much longer before you got another rotor...

[Tones]

^^^
yeah i know. got offered it at a price way to good to refuse. will have to take you for a drive to give you the bug again

[HANS YOLO]

very sweet car mate!

whats going to be involved getting it rego'd? i imagine it might be too loud?

[Tones]

yeah way to loud haha. going to get a good boy exhaust made up. may also need to get a smaller turbo. but the car is modplated in queensland for most of the things and from what ive been told is perth accepts qld mod plates as long as you have the paper work

[Gladio]

Man that looks so nice! I like!

[beefcake]

does skids :confused:

[VT SS]

fuck yeah man i love the rx4's what sorta power does it push ?

[Tones]

Mr Beef - No skids yet :(

380-390ish on 11psi up to 6,000rpm. Wanting to run between 17-20psi once the little teething problems are sorted.

[VT SS]

nice mam thats a far bit of power for a small car lol

got good brakes haha

[Tones]

has big brakes but not the greatest hahaha
kinda the reason i have only driven it once since i picked it up.

[beefcake]

hmmm i think thats good power for skids :boink:

[mazgem]

nice.
is that a original ish colour? i had one similar colour and seen a few the same

[Tones]

nah its a Subaru color from memory

[magic1]

Not always been a fan of the rota but this is cool, well done on the purchase.

[EYEH8HSV]

FUCK that is hot..

[[RX2]]

go the rx4 coupe ! i will prob end up with another one some day too !

you may want to sus out the diff mounts or something in the rear end because she was crabbing down the road when mick & i were behind you

maybe get wilko's to sus it out , i think they do front & rear measurements when they do a wheel alignment

[ED40]

You have one of my dream cars. You bastard!! Enjoy it.

[Torquen]

Yeah bombed :) Love it!

[S133LTR]

Awsome car
any chance of a few more pics?

[SimonR32]

Looks pretty good! Will be good to see it after you have made your own touches

[Tones]

haha yeah could feel it doing that. last drive until rego anyway so will be getting suspension sorted out then. def going to wilko's. hopefully nothing to out of the ordinary.

might grab some pics tomorrow.

[MISS 13B]

Looks great Anthony :)

You didn't happen to be hammering it around the streets on Friday night were you?
I heard some sort of Rotary fanging it and smashing limiter hard.

[Tones]

Nah nothing Friday night. Had a bit of a drive Sunday.

[DanWA]

any updates on this?

[Tones]

In the shed waiting on new gearbox and for the new engine to go in. Was hoping to be at powercruise but unable to get time off work.

[stefan]

nice car :)

[Tones]

Have just stripped out the interior and taken then badges off to be restored. Was only going to remove front seats for replacements but got a little carried away.
Surprisingly enough the inside was really clean with nothing nasty coming up once carpet and all interior trims were removed. Anyone know a good auto trimmer SOR? Also needing a couple names for sparky's. Know All Class but wouldn't mind another at least to compare prices.

[Buckets]

choice old skool rotang' mate

[Tones]

hmmmmm seems to have changed color, front apron, rims ect haha

nice colour! really do like it, it goes well with the cage!
Sounded really good too!

still on queensland plates?

[Yakky Bear]

lol nice plates there tones, looks legit hahaha

[beefcake]

love the rx4 , having both windows down doing laps is the best feeling i bet.

[Tones]

yep love it. you have no idea how confused people look when lee doesnt jump out of it lol
yep on Qld plates are its fully engineered over there. will stay that way until im told to change.

[DCEVO]

Ive seen this Blue RX4 at work

That is one Killa rotary ya lucky barstool

[Tones]

Thanks dude, since the day we went around to Lee's its copped a Mr Stacy race extend port. Just doing the running in and then waiting for the E85 to arrive and 25psi

[Tones]

Just seen this thread and im not a big fan of the rotors but this i do like. Nice purchase does look the goods

LOL thanks. Taking the passenger bucket seat out and putting in a seat suited to a "larger" range of people. Want to try and change a few peoples minds about rotors over Powercruise weekend.

You can change mine by taking me for a spin Lol

[Buckets]

Thanks dude, since the day we went around to Lee's its copped a Mr Stacy race extend port. Just doing the running in and then waiting for the E85 to arrive and 25psi so it can punish it's rear tyres & peoples ear drums on limiter

Fixed. :)

Skid pics or GTFO !

[MISS 13B]

Looked/sounded so good yesterday Tones.
Power skids along Wellard Road would be greatly appreciated :D

[Tones]

Haha just need to put a few more kms on the engine. Then will have a few more pics ;)

[OLLIE]

Love the The Colour mate and good luck with running it in should be a ball of fun

[Tones]

Productive day at work ment I found some pics on my phone

First cruise in Perth
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f128/tones007/b0d7db3b.jpg

14psi bp98 tune went in. Goes hard. But microtech is out and on it's way back to Sydney to get looked over :(

[TheChad]

First cruise in Perth

14psi bp98 tune went in. Goes hard. But microtech is out and on it's way back to Sydney to get looked over :(

typical microtech lol. what happened? my brand new 16 screwed up 2 week into the run in tune, blew an injector drive? i was like wtf, tuners were just like lol relax, happens all the time with microtechs... great huh?

[Crispymk2]

So hot! Looks awesome mate

[Buckets]

F*ucking Microlebs... I really should piss mine off...

Anyway back to your beast. Do a fucking skid pingpingpingping ! :)

[Tones]

Love microtechs their so basic, which is also a flaw to some. It's been in the car a while so it's not so bad. Won't switch over to the cruise map so it's just pouting fuel in on cruise and fouling plugs hard.
Will sort out private property skid pics when I'm back from site.

[beefcake]

do a fuckin skid http://th125.photobucket.com/albums/p65/narrowministries/th_YouCanDoIt.jpg http://www.ausrotary.com/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif you do have two step upgrade uler :confused:

[Tones]

Working on it hahaha on site for for another week plus. Will have to ask about the 2step as I didn't even think about that till now

[beefcake]

should it have it as standard now, or is it a upgrade to machine gun uler spec

[DCEVO]

Tones lose that Microspac and get a Haltech !!!

Microtick tick BOOM is old hat and tech support is lousy to say the least..

[fairmont4me]

Awesome ride, ive always had a soft spot for these, sounds like it goes like a bat outta hell

[TheChad]

Tones lose that Microspac and get a Haltech !!!

Haltech aren't exactly the creme either...

(yes i have a microtech, but yes, if i had my time again i would have gotten a propper computer)

[Tones]

Love micro's to much to change haha. I wonder who remembers what they started out as haha
This is the first micro unit that I've had a drama with and I've had a few. Yeah their basic, customer support sucks if you go through the wrong channels but their quick and easy to setup, cheaper than most, yet still provide the results.
Will ask today what the go Is with the 2step, should be machine gun spec as is but I don't wanna risk not having it sense it's already out of the car.

[miss_petepie]

that looks nuts! very nice colour :)

[DCEVO]

Haltech aren't exactly the creme either...

(yes i have a microtech, but yes, if i had my time again i would have gotten a propper computer)

Microtech cant log the last 35 minutes of realtime road or dyno time (Haltech can and does)

So I can actually see when you tell me Oh my car isnt running properly anymore that you have either sat doing a huge standstill and the heat exchange in your cooling system isnt functioning properly or there is an actual problem with your car

Haltech are leaps and bounds over Microtech

Stop trolling base your comments on fact ( This is tones showcase thread not a panel for debate.

[1cut808]

Tones.... YOU DA MAN!!

[Slow RB25]

Whored in this on that 1st cruise that Tones mentioned above, absolutly imaculate was very impressed even with the 9psi or whatever it was running at the time, but very hard to see behind ya with full cage and dark as F*** tint to hide the cage, :P Cant wait to see it at its full potential :D

[Tones]

Once the boost guage was hooked up found out it was only 7psi :( altho it's a good thing considering I went alright like that
Few little things I want to replace/fix but overall happy with how it it for now.

[indecline]

Keen for runs when she tuned bro......

[Tones]

Pinks or 10g on the hood?

[indecline]

pink gstring on the hood????????????????

[Tones]

Hahahaha didn't know you wore them haha

[beefcake]

i think hes borrowing bogO`s pink banga haha

[indecline]

yer bigos gstring maybe big paullys got it now? hahaha
