1984 Honda City. $1100 with 6 months rego and roadworthy.

My mate had one of these (I think he still does but no rego atm) only problem with them is the max payload is 250KG! That's not good if you wanna try and get your mates in tehre too hahahaha!

Try and find a decent ET Pulsar, they are wicked fun to throw around, easy to work on and use fark all fuel.

That too...

My friend Peter, he had one for a week and it really move (i.e slighty faster than 32 GTST I had) despite blown headgasket, I offered to buy off him and he refused.

Would love to have one of these little rockets. Decent one go for pretty penny though.

R31 would be sweet!

Anything N/A will be good for a daily, Stop / Start traffic.

I drive a Toyota Corolla AE71 as daily.

Ok on fuel as it runs on a carburettor, you will have to rev the car on start up and that can use a bit of fuel.

Newer cars will get you much better fuel economy.

A Honda Jazz would be an awesome daily as they fuel consumption is great.

About $35 full tank and gets you 600+ Km's.

I found out as I was filling up a friends Jazz and said to myself "WTF?! Is that all it's going to cost..?"

Hyundai Excel?

Bought my old '97 model for 400. Cost me about 900 for rego and RWC including a new windscreen, so about 1300 on the road, and mine was only on 120,000 k's aswell.

Look for one with power-steering though. Once you get going they're fine, but parking without it gets annoying.

Max Payload on mine is 300kg, but yeah, kind of struggles with anyone in it! I love how it has the max payload sticker on the back.

      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

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      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?
