NZG Automotive Threadtacular

[p01s0n]

The photo guys have their thread, the bike dudes have a thread, you can rage against teacups in one thread, you can praise cuddles in another. Talking gibberish thoughts is the game in one thread and there are even two threads for posting various shit. Fuck, Liz Shaw even has her own subforum.

Now we gonna drop the clutch on this bitch and get some carnerd talk goin.
(also will hopefully stop threads getting derailed with cartalk which I realize not everyone appreciates)

Here's me on Taupo

96 Mazda RX7, White, 96,000kms. RB Bathurst trim.

Have installed:
HKS Hypermax Coilovers
HKS Super Dragger cat-back exhaust
Fujita Engineering (FEED) 3" downpipe
Stern 17" wheels

Here's my little project i'm slowly working on:



1985 Toyota Corolla FX-GT (AE82)
1991 4AGZE Supercharged twincam engine
Front mount intercooler
Link ECU
4-2-1 Headers
Battery mounted in boot

I bought the corolla for $1500, non running, with the engine already mounted. Everything was done wrong. The paintjob has runs in it, the wiring..there are no words for the wiring.. fasteners are inconsistant. There is a dent in one guard and theft damage on the drivers B pillar. I plan to make it into a beautiful butterfly.

Currently it is at a stage where it will turn over at the key, but the ECU needs to be sent away to have the correct ignition module loaded before it will work with the 4AGZE CAS. This is one of the last things required (along with a tune) before it is running!

So yeah, post photos, or news clips, or any interesting car discussion in this thread - I hope it gets a lot of use!

[Perfk]

what? no mention of your other 2 project cars?

[Mickey]

Heh im reading this while I label up your tyres. Youre a total car freak. Pink labels ftw! (I may or may not be kidding about the pink)

[ZengE]

I'm sure a collection could be started in favour of the pink

[Perfk]

I'm totally in favour of the wheels getting powder-coated pink
(they are going on my car, after all )

Nah, you don't want that... Unless you're getting a spray-job to match on all of the panelwork ^_^

This man speaks true things.

Might need to get a longer tailgate though or you'd lose the exhaust (and possibly most of the rear of the car)

[Golden Teapot]

All I see here is a bunch of ordinary cars. Ordinary, in the sense that anyone who wanted one of these could have one.

If there's anything special here, it's the type of person who chooses to have these types of vehicle.

Or, is there more to it than this?

[SpaceCowboy]

go away GT, seriously. make your own thread, maybe "Cars I Will Never Own"

Man, everytime I see something like this it just makes me want to pull the MR2 back up to the garage and get to work on it

[Helious]

One of the first cars I ever had the pleasure of driving was a supercharged AW11

The first car I drove was a 2.0L Escort with extractors -- I loved it ;p

My latest project, 99.999% complete, S13 Sil80, converted to RB25det, just need to sort out a washer system for the windscreen as i have no room for a bottle (have found washer bag tho so should be all good), then have to fab and fit the undercar skirting and it should be all done



heres under the hood



pretty bloody hard to get a decent pic of it in all honesty, probably doesnt help that im spastic with a camera, could give 2 shits tho it looks good IRL

and heres my latest acquisition for it, a set of track rims and tyres



Chucked it on a dyno last week to make sure it wasn't going to lean out at pukekohe on Sunday, running at .6 bar with stock ecu, stock injectors, stock AFM (RB25DET) it ran 217kw at the wheels with just a little bit of tweaking on the safc i have in there temporarily, pretty damn impressed, ecu will be going in in January then off for final tune

[SpaceCowboy]

ok, so i finally took some pics of my mess.
not having a garage (looking for a place with one right now), i make do with my back yard..

first, the mighty green one herself



7-rib 2nd gen block, halfway through cleaning




why cant i make the crankshaft fit?


random other stuff ive pulled off it, pretty sure i dont need most of it


oh, and yes, im redoing the body work + paint. all in good time.

[Helious]

i'm speechless

what a hippy

[CCS]

Bet that thing has lots of emissions.

[Biff]

on the verge of buying a bmw 318ti msport (fits the budget and economy requirements, plus low k's). I wanted a 330ci but way out of my price range oh well.. From what I see they have 143hpower. If I want to soup up the engine a bit can $1500-2000 get me anywhere and what should I do? Also, I doubt I can do the work myself so would be keen to know a shop I could go to and buy/install the mods..

[ZoSo]

Crackup.

Google's all-seeing roaming cameras have captured images of a clandestine high-altitude road test featuring a fleet of new Porsches.

Yep. There's a certain kind of person who gets emotionally attached to their vehicle. It's a bit weird, but not really uncommon. Those of us who experience this feel a great deal more for our cars than their specifications or looks would lead you to think appropriate. I'm thinking this thread is probably attracting that type of person.

Also, I'd rather have a number of other vehicles, but right now I have what I have and I love it. If I didn't it'd be gone and another car would be in its place.
