suzuki gti.. great little car to have fun and very easy to work on.

I had one of these, and as long as you can put up with rattles etc, its a reliable and inexpensive car to own, not to mention very fun!! u just gotta make sure u get one with a HD gbox already fitted, because its not a matter of if, but when in relation to the gearbox breaking :rant:

the engines are excellent!

but yeah another car i have been interested in in the long term is a charade turbo, similar interests eh... but i wouldnt rely on it as an everyday car, plus im sure it would end up costing lots of $$ to maintain and fix.

in fact, have a look at www.redlinegti.com

at the moment there is a gen 1 ie old boxy 1986 model gti for sale, BUT it has a full cage, and is currently being resprayed in ford xr6 blue, 3 grand negotiable without rego :rant: only missing air con.

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
