Your Old Cars

[Silhouette31]

may aswell bring out all the embarassing pics of my horrible previous car choices...

Bought an 81 Mitsi Scorpion for $100 and rebuilt the motor and resprayed while i was 15, had it ready to drive when I got my L's. I could never afford tyres for it so it never had matching wheels.

got a GSR Sigma for a 'daily' while the scorpion was broken - 90% of the time I had it.

then got my first R31 bought it dead stock - still have it $20k later.

basically looked like this when i bought it. Was defected last year so I had to return it to standard (minus the ADR approved velos). I lost all the pics I had when I first got it

looks like this now

Dude at work wanted to get rid of a civic he had, so i bought that for $50.

Did about 100k's in it, put $20 fuel in it in the 3 months I had it, then sold it for $500.

Got a RB20DET regency approved wagon. Slammed it, 20% tinted it and put 17x9's on it and drove that as a daily for 9 months - nicest R31 I've ever driven

Sold the wagon with the intention of buying a Stagea since I was now hooked on wagons. I was driving the 31 sedan as a daily and got defected, so needed another daily. Bought the biggest heap of shit ever - which was almost the best car i had in a way, drove it into shit etc. not bad for $400. flipped the leaf springs and cut the fronts, fitted a set of 17s I had off my skyline

Sold the bluey when the 31 got off defect, and the Stagea rocked up shortly after.

And thats about it. sorry if the pics are big, i didnt check sizes

cheers mang, all I've done is lowered it. Ive found the rims I want but of course they're Works which means $$ So might be a while before it changes.. Other than that I wont be changing anything on it.

Then sold that and got an EFII Fairmont Ghia with 5sp manual conversion (XR6 motor with cam, extractors etc. went good for an NA car)

Then bought the R33

^ dude i think u in for some tuff competition, neva met anyone that has gotten more sh*t over a damn car than me. i mean around friends, at work, family im talking the works. few people on here know why when i took it to a vilis meet up. ill dig up a pics to share soon

[medman2damax]

trust me my friend, you got nothing on me. I found these pics in my gmail just now...

Read em and weep mate, you CANNOT beat this for lame!

THE STORY: I had a commodore which was a guzzler, fuel went to $1.70, was spending $120 in fuel just to get to and from work! Picked this up in a car yard for $900, 750cc 4cyl, carby, $35 for around 600kms. Kept doing stuff to it to make it funnier, stickers, exhaust (4 inch cannon). Would see people laugh at it and I'd laugh with em. Sold it to a construction worker with a V8 ute for $1K, he eventually put rims on it..

its on mofo

seriously if u had that for sale now i would consider it, looks pretty clean and i was considering getting a mini or something to use as a daily hack to save some petty as my dato chews the stuff

ok guess technically this was my first car toyota crown bought for me and my dad like the 1 pictured toyota crown late 70s mine also nasty poo stain green

at the time i was 17, it was slow from the steel chassis and well looked old. However I didn't really note how friggen immaculate it was at the time and wrote it off sorry dad

moving on was forced to drive mums commo, got many compliments from bogans. very embarrassing

onto saving up while at tafe i scrapped together $270 bucks and my dad suggested buying grandad's 74' datsun 260c. feeling sorry for crashing dad's old car and knowing he likes this old dato i bought it. as pictured it did actually look pretty sweet. however again still young had no respect for old cars and got constantly dissed about it from friends. i kept it but only because i always said all or nothing. its GTR 32 or piece of poo dato.

after 2years of owning it and noticing dato 260z has around 150hp i said to my dad why the f didnt i get that dato its got a lil gusto there. he said your car has the same damn engine. baffled at how mine gets whipped by 20hp ford lasers and old astras off the line i passed it off as bullsht till 1 day i finally tried using the gears in the auto(was like a initial d takumi break through ). i then realised it was alot more powerfull than most of the crusty cars my friends drove at the time. its got a severe lack of torque however when it gets revving around 40km/h in 1st it fires back with some f ing gusto ive never seen in a 70s car that wasnt a v8.

its now 8 years later and unfortunately it doesnt look so pretty anymore with rust, vinyl roof fckd that leaks majorly now in winter no matter how much silicon I use on it(not good when you an accoutant in a suit) my dad has kept the car driving like brand new however.

I probably do look strange dressed nice working as an accountant in tie and driving that but I dont care I love hearing the old school motor purr almost as much as a rb

theres a few more reasons why i like it and prob wont sell it including a rumble at tafe but thats another story for another 500word post

long term plan is maybe roof chop and restoring, just hope the body will last untill i can afford to do that kinda work and have somewhere to store it.

i call check and mate

last pic is just before i went in bay to birdwood and got on the news

then i finnaly dcided to buy somthing that had some balls and was also nice to drive and practicle, stagea of course.

check out some of my previous street machines.

[CRoNic...]

My other old car:

1985 Mazda 323 with a B6T engine. Running 10psi of boost. Chucked it up to 15psi when I needed to scare the WRX drivers. Was running as a 4WD, but as their gearbox apparently blew up, they said they "dropped the rear diff and got a 2WD gearbox".

Yes it came with the lame bonnet scoop, wooden steering wheel, pathetic stickers and NOS seat covers.

Then, I got defected.

Then, I got double-defected.

So, off came those super-low king springs, off came the boost gauge and off came that hideous steering wheel.

My mates told me of this road... called Gorge Road... so we all ventured out there one night. After spirited driving, the next morning I snapped a drive-shaft. Oops.

It's final trip before I sold it, I took it up to the Flinders Ranges!

After all that, I sold it to a mate who cracked the chassis. It now lies in a wrecking yard, after being sold for $100.

Yeah was hilarious! if I put both arms straight out to my sides I'd have fingers out both windows. I'm looking out for another one actually i kinda miss it.

[PREISS]

I see mitchy has the same black wheels addiction as me.

Cant get any tougher.
