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

[damono]

Hey guys, im appealing to your generous side

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

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

hahahahaha

sorry but that van is awesome.

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

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

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 TAKE THAT THING TO THE DRAGS DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[sileighty]

ha ha ha. i will put some money in for the drags.

[PHATR32]

i say you get your self one of those 3 cyl turbo engines and soop it up a bit!

[PHATR32]

looking at the pics, i see the starter motor, but not the engine?

[PHATR32]

oohhhh, that IS the engine.........

[damono]

You better not be knocking it

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

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

[philta]

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

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.

[tigeryas]

a car like that could do with some serious lowering

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

[bnr#@]

That thing is a true beast. So whose puting bets down on what it will run down the qtr? hahaha. I know what you mean about fuel though, I'm paying $10 to $15 a day to keep my GTR running

[alpinestars]

i want a bunky :'(

[Phobic]

i want one....

i reckon it needs some choppage of the springs.

[damono]

Feel the wrath of my bunky

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..

[thrtytwo]

hahah nice van mate, you need some siic japanese van bodykit though that would rock, and paint it bright purple !

[damono]

There's a term called Over capitalizing on investment

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
