Bigz, get an RX3 smile.gif

they're one of my favourite cars along with the RX4 coupe. I've always wanted one but they're far too pricey mostly.

fwd drift is not the easiest to get a handle on although I had a mate who could get his 85 civic beyond 90 degrees around big roundabouts until stupidly one day he he came off second best with a huge light pole.

Yeh Mickya I love the shape of the rx3 and 4's I know a rx4 fits me fine (I'm 6'4") but not sure if the rx3 does so depends on that. rx7's are completely out of the question for me as they are way cramped. But as you say they are getting very pricey but in comparison to say old school muscles cars they aren't to badly priced. My other dream car is a 68-69 RS camaro wub.gif

Hey Fishmonger..... tell the truth thats not actually you bouncing that car in that clip wink.gif

I knew the guy that owned that pink car. I have a clip here somewhere on my computer of when he took it to Araluen and up around Jarrahdale and the crap he got up to in that car wink.gif James was an absolute riot and the stuff he got up to was out of this world.


Nice to see she's still going strong. Last I heard it was seen broken down at a Bunnings..

you have equally amazing taste, haha the camaro's are incredible, and as are the fast back stangs. for my net car i want to get a datsun 1600 with the sr20 turbo, little more common and cheaper than an rx4 IMO

love the old 1600. the guy i got my 200 off is selling a fj20 powered one. Very nice not sure if its already sold as he advertised it a while ago. tbh if I'd had the means I would of considered it, love the old skool mixed with new tech. Having got a good friend who has a rotary I know they are not the easiest of engines to live with (when highly modded) as is his so really would only want to use it as a weekend car.

lol... That sounds nuts and something James (Previous owner) would do, except he'd make an inverter out of busted electrical parts and still find some way to make it work while being extremely dodgy.

I'm happy to hear the car is still cranking along, he even took that one up to barbs for a few drift days too. I saw some of his clips and they're absolutely hilarious.

Heres my beast, I've been working on it for a few years, Im saving up all year to get a hub cap for the back wheel, hopefully I'll afford it by Christmas.


Im also starting a limo service soon so if anyone wants to hire it for special occasions such weddings or school socials I can provide good rates. This vehicle is chauffeured by a proffessional driver who usually stays sober up until about lunch time. Also a special complementary bottle of summer wine or 6 pack of EMU export(cans) will be given to any PCS members who hire it, to get this offer you must be at least 13years of age as we try to run a responsible business.

Hi Den,

Love the Limmo.

Thinking of driving to Sydney, visiting all the LFS in the area....& getting back to WA .

Can you give me a quote on the round trip plus 2 days around Sydney ?

This will be for PCS members, so do we get 10% discount ? How many people will it seat ?

Col

Hi Col

I see you have first class tastes, to get to Sydney you are looking at a 30day trip each way as the limo has a cruising speed of 10kph, if you have a passion for speed can I recommend hiring the coupe, it has a top speed of 60kph, its a real treat for the adrenalin junkie.

The coupe is equipped with all modern comfort features such as an ashtray and steering wheel cover.

I should also proudly mention that my limo was 1st prize winner for modified vehicles at Moscow summernats, the picture was taken in Russia in summer, thats why the snow is so shallow in the photo.

I will get back to you about the trip, need to see if my driver is available, he has just come out of rehab and been on a heavy drinking binge, he should be conscious in a few days, also I need to make sure this interstate trip wont breach his parole conditions.

Cheers
Den

what is the additive that they add? or are you using cerami clear from ppg? ive never heard of an additive that can do that, it would be really hard to rub back if you have to spot it in
