I find it a little scary that your life can be messed with, for better or worse, simply because of what a computer screen displays...with very difficult or non-existent avenues for getting it changed. It's not corruption proof, but it's fairly repeal proof.

Reminds me of that movie The Net.

GTR registered

No RWC required

:)

Guy did have a weird look on his face when he walked out to see it on Jack's tow truck. Also saw Russell there coincidentally.

Noice!

stick it to the man, man.

saw a strange car on the road today. an older man, driving a de-badge toyota or some sort... i suspect a AE95 JDM sedan. Stock everything except a towel across the back seats. It was beyond pristine. the rear mud guards were like brand new, the paint put most show'n'shiners to shame. the chrome on the (stock?) dual exhausts looked fresh.

Did someone really do a full restoration on what im pretty sure was a late-80's corolla?

Had classic (not historic) white text on black numberplates. the old skool ones before green.

haha did you pull up in the inspection bay with the car on the tow truck? Did they need to check VIN etc?

Yep

I said it has a bad engine knock and I'm taking it to my mechanic before driving it on the road, which is true. He just confirmed the chassis and engine numbers (spent ages trying to read the RB26 engine number, lulz were had), then we swapped the numberplates over and nek minut registered.

We have customers who get the works done on their cars, spend big money on it, THEN go to vicroads to get it registered... Very ballsy!!

Where's your car off to now?

You guys if Chris can give me a date to bring it down - can you go ask him now lol?

haha, lowered it off the tow truck or he climbed up?

Took it off and drove into inspection bay to show that it can be driven, albeit very loudly. Many looks from people before we took it off and even more looks when we started it up lol

Ain't at work today, am debating whether or not to go to the doctors in an hour that's how much I don't want to move :\

you young people have no apprication of hard work, when I was your age I hade to hop to work in the snow as I could only afford 1 sock per year.

almost.

Better than being trapped inside...

Must take a look at mine as well... keeps getting stuck halfway down... the bolt that tightens onto the motor shaft keeps working itself free and slipping. Time for some locktight me thinks

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
