*slaps forehead*

how could we ever forget the old Reliant?

:rofl:

But not all Reliants were so crap.... the Scimitar had the 3litre Essex V6 (man & Auto), in a 'glass body, and went faster than Capri

Then there was the Volvo P1800ES..... very cute, and strangely it didn't seem to be such a nuisance on the road as other Volvos! :D

AND...... in my book the best of them all the Lamborghini Espada from 1970.

Displacement was 3929cc thanks to a bore and stroke of 82 x 62mm, the Bizzarrini-designed V12 producing 325bhp at 6500rpm. A compression ratio of 9.5:1 and six twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE 20-31 sidedraught carbs were used, (imagine tuning this!!) but even though this motor incorporated many of the period upgrades made to Miura's, output was slightly down because of the larger air-conditioning units and power brake requirements of this luxury GT. However, despite its size and 1625kg weight, Lamborghini’s zany new model instantly became the fastest full four seater on the planet.

If you look carefully the tailgate is 1/2 glass, cos the window is so raked that you only had about 6" to look through..... I could put up with it though.

Boasting a 155mph top speed, 0-60 took just 6.4 seconds,

hey that's nearly as fast a Stagea.... :laughing-smiley-014:

AND we worry about economy!! haha

While we're doing ol' skool Japanese wagons, why not more Corollas?

Apparently this one's a bush taxi:

And how's this recent one? Looks like an AE100-series.

Awww, Dale, that cuts me to the bone! I love my 'Rolla's. Not as much as Stagea's, obviously, but they do hold a place in my heart.

good to see the mighty 200b in here at last

:thumbsup: Huh, where?

I have no idea what it is, and I think I like it that way.... :thumbsup:

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • 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?
