Floody - Yeah thought was was the case. This Coupe (french guard version) had Hyundai's own Alpha series engine... Don't for a moment think that I know this because I'm interested tho!!

Actually Stu, I'm not certain on the current generations of cars, but the first two generations of Excels used Hyundai manufactured, licensed variants of Mitsubishi motors. The S-coupe's have turbo mitsubishi motors, quite similar to the Lancer GSR's I'm lead to believe.

Here's another nomination. Was at that Scottish restaurant in Rosny Park (Hobart) today - you know McDonalds! Saw an electric blue pulsar parked outside, big chromies, GTIR bonnet intake, body kit ( at least I think that's what it's meant to be) stickers etc etc. This car is someone's pride and joy but looked to me like a heap of gold chains on a hairy chest - bling bling! and fairly tasteless. Was this car at one stage an ET turbo or is it just a standard pulsar that someone has wasted thousands on?

Anyone in Launceston seen the loser who has just appeared in the white Camira? Every time I've seen him he's been blasting around and driving like a f*&^wit. Checkerplate where the back number plate goes, and it looks like he's either put a big radiator with flashy pipes or a FMIC on the front. Include the set of alloys and you've got a full on performance car!

What about just starting with a decent car?

How about the Barbie Pink 200sx here in Launceston

It also now has a twin with green to purple pearl

Its just cars like: e.g i have seen a pulsar with all performance brand stickers on it and one of them was a RALLI////ART sticker (on a pulsar??? :) ) also seen a hyundai coupe with nismo stickers on it :P

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
