Actually Dox - if the coffee table idea looks good, I'll come see you for some glass :)

Since I can't bear to crush the whole car, the busted 1.6L motor could be cool as a table stand...

done and done :(, i should do the same with the colt actually

Get it, there will most probably never be another like it, ever!

Such a shame :wassup:

James, I don't know if its worth $800, the real question should be, will you pay $800???

I say got for it, keep the tradition alive! :(

Hehe - yeah, Crazy Vaclav's Place of Automobiles...

Homer: What country was this car from?

Crazy Vaclav: It no longer exists. Put it in 'H'!

It's funny cause its true.

It even has a lever marked 'H'.

:(

Ask Vaclav how many hectares you'll get to a tank of kerosene :P

I love that episode ;)

Update UPDATE:

No.

F*cking.

Way.

It looks worse than mine, but those 2 magical words 'reconditioned motor' seem to sing out like a siren guiding me to the jagged rocks of doom...

Son of a...

Who would have ever thought that in 2005 there would be a bidding war for a 15-yo Lada?

I mean - surely you can buy a Daewoo for $400, brand new yeah?

Will sit and wait for the snipe at 5.02pm

Nobody f*cks with teh Golgo...

oh i hope some one made waffles!

the race seats and badges must be moved upon this new lada, along with a new paint job

we have a paint shop at work you could use, i mean sure, we paint splashbacks in there, but you could just lift the lada into it

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
