  1. I used to have a 93 but it was a 1.6... i thought that the 1.8 didn't come out til a few years later things to look for are basically the same as on any car, just pay attention to the roof (old plastic windows tend to tear or be almost non-see thru) anchors. sometimes they are wrecked and you are basically up for a replacement roof... Other than that they are a great car (a little underpowered) awsome on the twisty bits... Have a really small boot though.... Good luck
  2. not nice at all...... hope to see him back at the wheel soon
  3. LOL yeah driveways suck!!!! some of them I can't even get up they are so high.......
  4. fair enough...... older than that good driving record helps though..... I still reckon that you should try shannons next year (they will insure you if you are under 25) as even there excess is only $500 (and that includes wheels and exhuast) and they have lifetime guarentee on all the work that gets done....
  5. I went through shannons and they were not only a lot cheaper, but also the excess was like a difference of $1000 odd dollars on the happy side.... Shannons definately the way to go...... insurance was only like $870
  6. Welcome and good luck
  7. Oh yeah The Gillies is a hoot..... I also like the back way from Mossman to Mareeba... that is a fun road with little traffic and a few really cool and tricky sections...... You are right about the highways, they are pretty good, until it rains and then they get all churned up..... and then we wait another year for them to be fixed.... I was up on the tableands last week for a drive and you are right about the roads in town.... Horrible........
  8. I can't believe people actually throw sh8t at you wehn you are working... that is just f**ked..... some people have no decency... you should follow THEM to work one day and throw stuff at em while they work and see how they like it....
  9. I looked at just cars origionally, however the excess if anything happened added up to be like $1500... And I am over thirty with 60% no claim .... Went to Shannons and not only was the insurance cheaper(by like over $300), but also the excess was only $500..... However, as you said it pays to be nice and honest with the insurance guys and it usually pays off....
  10. Oh yeah... been there done that.... Had a 1962 EK ute in melbourne... bloody roads killed it....... I am not complaining.... just having a winge
  11. Don't know about anyone else out there, but it seems to me that the general state of the roads are just getting worse!! NOw, I am (un)lucky enough to live in the far north, where the state of the roads is basically crap... I mean you drive down the main streets and they have potholes and sh*t everywhere. Oh and IF they actually get around to re-sealing a road, they use that loose stuff (which does absolute wonders for the paintwork of your car) and don't even warn you that it's coming up so that you can take another road to avoid breaking windscreens and stuff.... I do like living up here (and have done for 6 years or so) as there are some absolutly awesme roads to drive on with, with lots of twisty sections and off camber corners, it's a blast.... However, the roads are crap and considering how much fuel is (and part of that tax is supposed to go to fixing the roads not just general other crap) you would think that the state of the roads would be a lot bette.... Anyway, that's my friday bitch out of the way....
  12. That seems like it is good price
  13. Cool How much did they set you back??
  14. Basically it is just the new exhaust system It will go away after a week or so. Nothing to stress about
  15. Thanks mate Much appreciated
  16. Nice work
  17. Sometimes the timer doesn't kick in..... Seems to be only when cold though.... Weird.....
  18. Thanks for that advice. I'll have a look when I get home this arvo.
  19. Yeah Me to...........
  20. I have looked pretty much everywhere you would expect to find one...... No love as of yet.... Thanks though
  21. Mine does it as well.... Only when revs are high. Thanks for the advice on re-bedding. I'll give that a bash
  22. Sh*t I am only using the standard premium from Mobil (in Cairns) Will have to look at a 98RON from BP I guess
  23. My R33 series II is supposed to do the same thing (according to the manual) however is doesn't..... Not that I am complaining.....
  24. HI all I have a Series II R33 and I am not sure if the turbo timer is stock or not..... Seems to run for around 30 seconds or so Sometimes (usually if it has been on a short drive) it doesn't operate at all.. I just basically want to know if this is stock or aftermarket Cheers
