Correct me if i'm wrong but for one reason or another a lot of people have daily drive cars, well at least I think they do???

Whether it's because you like to tow your "real car" to those track days, or if it's the petrol bill at the end of the month that stops you driving your skyline (insert other imported/sports car here)

Maybe it's because you don't want to clock up so many km's every week on your pride and joy commuting in traffic, maybe it's because you don't like driving to and from work with that guilty feeling that you are going to be reported to the epa or pulled up and have that boost controller spotted....

for whatever reason it is that you feel you need a more subtle car for your day to day ventures, what is it that you chose for your daily driver and why?

I am looking into getting something in the next few months and i have been leaning towards a hot hatch of some description, namely a pug 306 gti-6 basically because it's a semi hoons car without the attention, they have leather and a sunroof, and a fairly punchable 2.0 donk, and they seem like they would be a reasonably comfortable and economical drive.

down side to the pug is they have no towing capabilities what so ever. hmmmm fiddle dee dee. :P

Nice choice there Greg, they're absolutely awesome cars, and I considered getting one about 18 months ago. Best mate has one and it'sa top car. Comfortable, quick, sounds great with a remus backbox, rare. Only thing I dislike is the french seating position...

My daily...

I'd put up a better pic but I can't be arsed blanking out the plates...

I currently daily drive an AU Falcon ute, soon to be changed to a bug-eyed Magna Station-wagon. These cars are absolutely great, when you don't pay for them and comes with free rego, service, petrol and insurance :)

Company vehicles are great :P I also have free use of it after hours and holidays, 365 days of the year :laugh:

Roy, when did the BBQ happen (looks like Winton)

My daily driver.

Can be a bit slow at times (better for my license though ;) ) but people don't tend to mess with it, it tows the STi easily and it does wicked drifts on wet roads. ;)

I drive a Subaru Legacy GT wagon to work, i can throw my surfboard in the back along with all the other crap i lug around with me.

It's got the EJ20TT under the hood so it's no slouch either.

A self shifter, cruise and leather make it enjoyable to drive when i'm not in the 32.

i live 10k from work so i drive my car to work, hoping no one scratches it while its parked. once i tried riding a bike but after 2 hills and 1/3 the way i gave up and rode back home ;-) need to do more excercise

You all drive some pretty crap cars daily..............but then again if the price of fuel is so high and

there is nowhere safe you can park it .......I concure.

I haven't seen anything under 14 seconds yet..... ;)

Normally I drive this (As a daily):

But at the moment it looks like this:

So i'm driving this:

But the owner of the Landcruiser gets back from Europe next week so i will have his other spare car which is this (Except the one I will have is Navy Blue and has a big DRIIFT sticker on the back and a bonnet scoop for extra effect ;)):

And in three weeks the stickers come off and its back to this:

My daily driver is another white 99 model. A beautiful example of Fords finest design work. The magnificient AU Falcon. WTF were they thinking???!!! If anyone at Ford involved with allowing it to be built hasn't been fired then I'd be stunned. The ugly pig is comfy though. One toe and one finger only to drive it and the boot fits the 13in sub nicely.

Then the weather is nice, then the ZX10R gets me to work. That will run flat 10 second quarters all day.

that's quite a whored up lil blu juz!!!

What's that saying?? Car's look like their owners?? Oh, whoops, that's dogs look like their owners...my bad

HAR HAR HAR

*runs for cover*

i walk up my hallway to work.

but when im out doing quotes and installs and stuff and getting iced coffee its of course...

the 32

hate driving shitters. always seem to get dickheads wanna race when u got a shitbox, and u wish u had your good car... or there are hot chicks... and u got a shitter :) wishing u had your blinged up ride.

but they are good to thrash the carnt out of and better on fuel etc.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
