i used to own a 86 levin with 4age. it had 200,000km's on the clock and still went upto and sounded incredible at 8,700rpm with ease. it was my first car. i really regret selling it...

edit:

found a picture of it. wasn't as advanced with all the digicams back then... so hardly had any good photos with it... the red car was my friends trueno... both our first cars... u know the feeling how good it is to first get your p's... we went fanging every night, and dreamt about upgrading to better cars... besides the new driving sensation, i was quite embarassed to drive that car around and wanted nothing more than to get rid of it and buy myself a better car... the irony of that... i miss it so much now...

i know a guy that is pretty into them, he has a few for sale but as Duncan pointed out they are a bit over priced!

we did pick one up with rust for $200 though.. that is the one we are working on now..

wouldn't be hard to put the SR20 into these cars 180xdrifterj... even the rb26 would fit with a bit of work to the front radiatoe support!

i have seen one with a 20B cosmo motor in it.. that hauled!!!

if anyone is series in buying these i can source a few locally for you!

i am serious in buying one but they are really hard to find; i would buy one with out a motor even and rust through out it... i would just put a sr20 in it :) if you could find one thats wrecked or something thats cheap, then PM me back dude cos i really want to own one!

oh, and i wouldnt mind puttin a rb26 in it; but they are too heavy and i would intend it for drift purposes so having it so heavy in the front end wouldnt help that much :D

cheers,

i have found 2 already for 4 grand each.. i might be able to get him down if i got both sold at the same time. the guy who is selling these knows how rare they are and will be hard to talk down any!

condition of them is unknown as i have not gone to see them, i can check them out if people want and take a few happy snaps of em and check general condition!

this guy likes them so much he put an add in the paper to try and find more!!

umm, their not exactly rare. Just go on www.toymods.org.au and u'll find several for sale all the time.

From what i've noticed the pricing for them goes like this:

Bog stock aussie model = $500-$4000

Ausie model with 4a-ge = $5000 - $7000 depending on mods

Heavily moded ausie model = $8000+

Jdm stocka or light mods = $8000-$10,000

jdm off its tits or aus of its tits = $10,000 +

*That* is exactly what I mean....$10k for a rusty 20yo toyota? too many people watching cartoons out there....

If you could get them for a decent price, say $2k like other cars of that age, then great :P but for $10k plus a couple of grand you could have an R32 GTR instead :confused:

Thats true and i see your points.. i thought it was strange to get for so high a price!

they are nice looking cars when they are done right, but the one we just picked up for $200 had 2 holes in the block of the old 4a, could even see where the rod had done a lap around the sump!

bit of rust to fix, but with the right kits they look the goods - better than standard corrolla IMHO

rear wheel drive and quick with the right engine!

will be looking into toymods alot - most of them have already been modified and high prices from i saw there!

Duncan - hook me up with a GTR for $12K !! :P

Just where in the hell are you buying R32 GTRs for $12k? Off the back of a truck?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
