I live in Cottesloe, saw car in Mossie park... (I'm your neighbourhood RAC battery dude :-)

I work at MSC on McCabe St which is next to that place. Have seen many TVRs there but never a Tuscan. And yeah Lancia Stratos as well as many other uncommon cars. Lots of kit cars. And boats like you said.

Also saw Miles' car there ages ago jacked up getting suspension upgrade :)

These are available in Australia !

There as common as WRX's in the UK and only about GBP40K over there.

Tuscan is definately the cream of the crop for looks from the TRV stables.

Q. How you scam the thing into the country ? They wouldn't let me bring back a S8 Audi :-(

yeah the tuscan is pretty ugly i think, all the rest are ok like the chimaera, they look like normal cars not a space ship :P. but still crazy car, i wouldnt knock one back if i was given one :D they do look nice just not up close.

b005t: we had a green Chimaera and sold it for the tuscan cause it wasn't fast enough, they are still nice though

Kidd: The Tuscan and Chim have never had a problem and i have driven a Cerbera that lives in perth quite a few times also when we had it on loan (yes for more than half an hour) and no major problems as yet

Steve: HA, thats ok, after the lights turn green you wont have enough time to scratch your own ass when after you've been handed the chop. Your right actually your pulsar is much more pleasing to the eye, that bonnet is so sexy...

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
