Just Bought New Car And Need A Cheap/free Deck :)


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, im appealing to your generous side :D

I just picked up this badboy to get to work and home during the week (skyline + fuel prices + 100kms a day = $$) Still got the skyline but im trying to only drive that on the weekends as im sure many of you do. Problem is its got a crappy old stereo and 1 speaker, yes one speaker.

Just wondering if anyone has an old deck and/or speakers gathering dust in their shed that they want to part with. Doesnt have to be flash, a tape deck with a digital display would be unbelievable :D

PS.. yes that is the radio and 'speaker' on the dash, it was held there in place with double sided tape but thats come off so it kinda just moves around up there

Cheers,

damo

Thanks again Mitchy. If anyones got a set of old 6x9s they want to part with too :D

Shi t yeh. Its so fun to drive. Best fun driving ive had in years. You get some wierd looks from people, like.. "Damn thats an ugly car." To get an idea on how rediculous it looks. Im about 6'3 and 100kgs, my mate is about 6'4 and about 125kgs and we were driving down the road, it would of looked like that mitsubishi ad with the two sumos in the front seat driving down to get pizza.

Heres the specs:

1983 Suzuki Carry Van

upgraded 970cc 4cyl engine from a 'Super' carry van from a 1989 model which puts out between 17kw-25kw depending on engine mods, will post dyno soon (originally came with 3cyl 800cc but that wasnt fast enough)

12 inch steel rims (155x55x12 tyres)

Sun roof (barely but its there check the photos)

tape deck and 1 speaker mounted with double sided tape on the dash

Car runs pretty good, other than it blows a little smoke. Also features stealth engine placement, underneath the passenger seat, the cops cant yellow it if they cant find it ! It makes you appreciate how good a skyline is tho :D

I checked the plugs and found out they used 3 plugs of one sort and 1 of another sort, which were all wrong for the engine anyway. So i went to repco and got myself a set of the ones they should have for the engine and it runs like a dream.. with all 4 cyl.

PS. If everyone chips in a couple of bucks, ill take it down the drags. I reckon id probably get in the high 27s

According to Suzuki's specs on the engine, its actually 35HP standard from the factory (at flywheel i would assume after driving it)

One word describes that car - SICK!!

I wouldn't go down to the drags to see that thing do a pass but rather do a burnout. Hah while your at it put it in the donut pit. I'll pitch in some tyres for it :lol:

You better not be knocking it :D

It was a bit out of control today. Wet roads + 35hp = no traction (might of been the fact that the tyres were dry as a mother tho) The wind coming back from freo nearly threw me off stock rd :rolleyes:

It does spin the wheels, but it needs a bit of coaxing to get her going.

may i ask how much u bought if for?

i a student and cant afford to run my r33, im fully independent and parents aint babying me no more :D

Centerlink just aint good enough for me anymore, been car pulling with mates to uni, and im living of 50 bux each week LOL.

petrol is really killing us all. nice car bro, ill join u in the Bomb brothers.

a car like that could do with some serious lowering :D

i've got a pair of Boss 6x9s if you want them, quickly wanting to get rid of them cos it's taking up space in my room + moving house soon. It's better than going in the bin cos that's what'll probably end up in anyway :rolleyes:

Feel the wrath of my bunky :P

Tigeryas im keen for the 6x9s, ill take em off ya hands for sure. PM SENT, im heading to balcatta tomorrow to pickup from Mitchy, so tomorrow would be good for me, but whenever is cool for you.

Philta, the car was advertised for $550, i took it for a test drive and offered him $500 and he said ok. Then we were talking about transfer and stuff, and he goes "actually buddy, make it $450" SCORE!

Its good cos now my car isnt just used to get to work and back and i can do more work to it. The bumper needs to be fixed, heaps of little carpark scratches and im in the need for a big ass turbo + power fc :)

Phobic, im thinking about chopping the springs, but that might make it even bunkier to drive. I nearly got blown off stock rd today on the way back from fremantle, but other than that..

There's a term called Over capitalizing on investment :P

Im 'thinking' of down the track having a mobile jukebox in the back, that i can have in there and rock up to a party, drive it round the back and pull it out on rollers to the back hatch. But who knows how long my interest will last, at the moment, its just good not having to pay $17 a day in petrol (let alone tyres and wear and tear) to get to work and back

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
