Don't buy unrego'd bunkies.. Srsly. You'll end up sinking sooooo much into them. Also avoid cars that say needs new radiator = been running hot = head gasket.

Plus pit fees every time you go.. $75-85. Then 6 months rego $250-300... + Repairs etc.

I hate AE92 corollas... Bought one with 220km and I got all of 60kms out of it before I got a blown head gasket -_-

Ok I was hesitant to post this up, but this is a go-er.

Thats an XSpeed mechanic's car. Should be a good one..

edit: 89 rolla has 400kms! And has farked radiator = has been running hot.. You'd be crazy...

Micras are cool!

Yeah was a bit worried that it would be hard to pass the car ... but the Galant looks like its been well checked up and everything so I thought I'd give that a go ..

is the AE92 Corolla the same as the 89 Rolla I was looking at?

haha yeah looked at a couple of r31 skylines, i like em but their all auto! I'd prefer a manual car really

what about rescuing BOB the beloved wagon..

Unfortunately they are not the official owners of the car so you wont be either :unsure:

Oh god, maybe ill stretch the budget to about 1200 for a nicer car with rego ..

or maybe ill lower my standards and get something like a hyundai excel ... which isnt quite as cool as the rollas :(

The pulsars seem to be alright too!

Check out the skyline for sure- My first car was a vl commodore and the rb30 which is in both of those cars is an excellent engine to work on. Heaps of room in the engine bay, and quite decent on power and fuel to start off with. Having said that, my dad had owned one before hand and he was the one who taught me (still does) how to work on cars. IMO its a great base to start with,

In my experience the excel is very hit and miss- a mate had one that did 300,000kms and was still kicking on original engine and box. (did a clutch, but ffs that is awesome for a pissy sized car)

Another mate of mines sister owned one, and destroyed basically every suspension component you could think of and its gearbox went at something like 160k. Thats without considering all the interior which fell apart like you wouldnt believe on both haha.

well for an excel id prob go for something like this .. http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-very-negotiable-rego-expires-8-June-2011-W0QQAdIdZ284762611

pulsars a pretty good deal at 700 bucks with rego!

Cannabis you're real lucky your dad could teach you all those things!

Maybe ill reconsider those R31s .. they are auto though :(

Plus their all pretty much unrego'd too

That sexel looks ok. Rego on those would be around 220? (Small engine)

Has more than half a tank of fuel left yo!

edit: fwiw, my 1990 n13 sss already had the head off before 160km pinch.gif

hahaha, GL in your quest for a "good" bunky stupid.gif

Hahaha James good luck with the micra!

We should have a gathering of all our shoddy lil bunkies someday hahaha

I'll have to check out those pulsars, the reviews seem to be quite good

Yeah for 300 bucks Its quite a good deal

That half a tank would probably be worth a good 10% of the price ;)

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
