KowP - I suggest u stop bagging Sunny's :( I still have mine! In fact I drive it almost everyday day to work and back (1hr drive - one way)

Tis a lovely silver beast thats never missed a beat. Was my first car ......in fact the damn thing will prolly outlast me!

My first car exploded...complete with fireball and stuff...it was a proton persona. Started from the battery compartment somehow. Insurance company labeled it under 'disaster'...it took them a while to think of that. Luckily the car died quite a while before it caught fire. Didn't hit anyone, just died on me n exploded.

'88 Laser...sold it to a little old lady :(

she brought a male friend along to check it out, and he commented how it had good tread.... the tyres were nearly bald!! I just agreed and kept my mouth shut lol :)

I used to still see it heaps after i sold it cos she worked at a Harvey Norman near my work :) She even left the surfie sticker i had on it lol

my first REAL CAR..had some before but P.O.S..

was my r30 which i just sold *wait for it* $500 2.4 ltr 5 speed in alright nick,300zx mags,just a sad day and its gunna be sold unless i can find a buyer near A.C.T willing to change my mind $$$..

My first car was a 1979 Toyota Carolla SE. the thing went hard at first, but when you had to have 2 guys hold you back in the gravel to do a burnout, there is something wrong there.

then a ford laser 84 sports, then a nonturbo silvia. and finally the best car, a SKYLINE! :):D

1978 TE Cortina, fieces brown 4 speed manual. Never ended up getting registered but served as an excellent get-around-in-the middle-of-the-night-in-a-country-town kind of car. Was sold to bogan for panels for his stacked 250 Cross Flow Cortina, also featured in fieces brown.

Then:ZA (I think) Fairlane 302, also never registered

1979 Sigma Wagon, complete with Dukes of Hazard Racing stripes and 69 on the bonnet. Many a road trip.

1993 VP Crapadore V6, fried the auto with mates holding up the back to do a burnout.

1993 Silvia Qs, why I didnt just get a turbo I dont know?

1997 Fairmont Ghia, Tickford susp and kit, Simmons rims, was a tag job though

1993 R33 200kws at rears

1987 AE82 Corolla

1993 R33, should have just kept the old one...

1989 R32 GTR sitting Japan awaiting DOTARS ruling on 15 Year rule.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
