I Love the 20V, one will be going into my Seca...one day.

the 20v package cost me $400nz, i actually made money by doing the swap haha

redtop was old and tired.

although this 20v is getting on, once the supra is done, the corolla will get a make over.

[TJ]

Nice buy TJ, The old galants are reliable as hell and easy to drop in a VR4 motor too, Parts interchangeability is great with mitsi's too.

Cheers
Aaron

Haha the word VR4 has been catch phrase of the day.

Wont be happening. I just need something reliable and comfy for the daily grind.












never say never though!

[Brockas]

never say never though!

Never.

You can't fix your toy car, there's no chance you're modding your daily.

My new bunky :

1989 Mitsubishi Galant GSR :

4G63 non turbo 5 speed manual (factory) Full eletrics, air con, cruise control.



Pretty straight, pretty clean inside. Drives a shitload better then the rolla and has more room which is win win for me.

Needs a few bits - power window switch and fuel sender. But the motor is clean as and doesnt show a drop of oil so im happy. While spin 3rd in the wet, which is good and bad at the same time.

Needs a stereo bad!

(pic added TJ)

LOL how many bunky shitters do you have in total now tj? What happened to the rolla with fake tan stained seats?

[Brockas]

While spin 3rd in the wet, which is good and bad at the same time.

AHHHH ME GA GA SHE A WEAPON!

[TJ]

Chris - Rolla is sold pending payment - dont need it now.

Still got the handpainted vn show car - that gets used to drive the dogs around

Oh and the king bunky, the liberty - its sitting under a tarp in the driveway.

Paul, good for a giggle, bad when you pull out near traffic and try to get moving

Andrzej decided to bless it tonight by getting in it and dropping a burnout off limter... its pretty damn big!

[kirbo]

Picked this rare shitter up last week.



Pros:
RWD
Manual
Rare
Insane in the wet
Roomy as (Dont park next to me, doors are freakin huge)
Cheaps as all hell to insure
Has mega sleepy potential

Cons:
Its 28years old
Steering wheel is truck like
Pedals are too wide
Steering isnt responsive enough
Needs another 200+ horsepower so it behaves in the dry as it does now in the wet
Pending performance: Credit card will wear out quickly

Plans:
Finding 200+ more horsepower
Options are endless..........

[Steppo_GT]

how do you get out of the car without getting your feet wet?

[kirbo]

Its a bunky, open door and walk all over it. Mate took the shot, im sh1t with a camera.

[Rossco]

my bunky. 94 cruiser.


Good
It climbs big rocks really well
It drives through mud
It smashes roos
It's unbreakable (Tojo power)

Bad
It's slow
It's thirsty
Gearbox like a Kenworth

But for Karratha she's just fine, can't imagine having anything else up here!

[MaTMaN]

my bunky/daily (but more of a weekly as i work away)

2002 GXL 100series Landcruiser









Pro's
It can drive over big things (curbs, rocks, furry cute domesticated animals, small children and the like and not feel a thing).
Plenty of room for stuff when fishing or camping or spare parts and stuff.

Cons
Big
Diesel ( sometimes a little sluggish around town)

[11secWrx]

Hey guys, just a pic of my Liberty (daily) that I thought I would post up.
Had it for about 2 years now.
Stock apart from coilovers, rims, big exhaust tip (ooooh yeah) and 5% tint
For the stereo, I have put in a JVC DVD up front with a 7 inch screen. Alpine DD drives in the 4 doors and Kenwood 7 inch screens in each headrest for the kids.
I have no other plans for this car as its great to drive, great on fuel and very quiet to drive (not like the rex)

wasn't there a factory turbo of this model?
i seem to remember an old mate igor dreaming of getting one
looks like it'd be a fun car and definately different
can the 5 pot turbo in the newer cars be converted to rwd using stock box or something?

[kirbo]

Yes there was, but it was only availiable in the US/Europe in limited numbers. In 1985 they used to race the belgium built 242 but labeled it a "240 2dr LHD turbo" around bathurst. They had a win in 86' beating the the likes of bmw 635CSI etc.

In regards to the 5Cylinder, yes it has been done. But its trouble. The 242 is NS and the 850 is EW configuration. The easiest engine swap is a small block V8 or a V6 volvo motor. Im currently doing some research, considering 1J, Gen3 V8, ultimately a 1UZ twin turbo or supercharged. But legally speaking its probably not possible as the 242 weighs in @ 1300kg. Yerp, something different!

[Passage GT]

yeah i realised the 242 was a ns and 850 ew fwd spec but it's not uncommon for people to do conversions using fwd motor in rwd configuration, toyo 20 valve 4age's probably being most common
i reckon it'd be worth going for a turbo motor in it though, anyone can chuck a v8 or jap motor in something these days
to get chopped by a quick volvo using a volvo motor would bring lots of joy haha
and lots of surprised faces too i bet

[kirbo]

I agree mate, staying true to one manufacturer makes an impressive build but, I already get that good feeling in my 850R. Stock spec + stereoh surprises many.

[munchmunch]

this is my shitter goes any where

[Passage GT]

nice pajero dude, don't see many of the short wheel base ones around
when's she getting lifted?

[munchmunch]

hard to say really i want to put a lift kit on it but i want to spend my coin on my rx3 so im stuck in a hard place at the moment
i should get i grill for it first lost that on the way to wedge driving through a wash out on the beach bloody wave came outta no where and pulled the car in to the ocean very lucky to drive it out

[rxsevengt]

This is my bunky, Don't see too many of them around anymore. I quite like it though, needs dumpage

Nissan S12 Gazelle
All stock except wheels/seats

Gets good economy and boot is pretty large for a 2 seater, Can tow VERY small trailer which comes in handy now and then

Cheers

[Anaru]

Must be quite a lightweight weapon you have there! by late model do you mean 20vST?

[mc68]

got myself a car to tow my rally car around in...it will be dumped in the next couple of weeks, dont worry

[Tocchi]

painted territory steelies... style! haha

[mc68]

its different! plus i have a thing for white wheels, they give me an excuse to wash the car more often
