GTP Member's cars directory. What do you drive?

[nobuffalo]

Love the mr2s, I had a 86, green and gold...then my brother ruined it.

And I guess I may as well post my cars on here. Warning, nothing special about them.

My 91' Celica GT

And my 88' Camry

I guess my camry is kinda special, but only because of this.

What has happened/is happening to the Charade?

You want it?

 

[Revheadnz]

You want it?

Heh, just curious. How much do you reckon it would cost to send, say, hypothetically, a set of Ronal Turbos from Norway to NZ?

Say somewhere between 3 and 5 hundred NZ dollars I guess. But often cheaper than you'd think. I bought mine from Germany, Norway is not the place to get them from.

The Charade will be dry and warm this winter as well, winter driving is what I've got the rwd Rolla for

Someone wants to have some fun this winter

Someone wants to have some fun this winter

I am also looking foward to having fun this winter. I've never driven an awd in the snow, and though the camry doesn't have the greatest power to weight ratio I still think it will be a blast. I took the mr2 out a couple times last winter and before that it's been nothing but fwd. That said the funnest i've had was in my sister's 87' corolla fx that I was driving one winter. With just the flick of the wheel the rear would slide out gracefully with no ebrake and was so easy to control. And in a small town of 300 people there was little worry of any police stopping the fun...

eight-twos do that...I found out how well the Scandinavian flick works in my '88 Nova. It works well.

Your clutch pedal sits lower too

My Commodore clutch pedal used to drop too, the cable actually stretches slightly and I used to re-adjust it all the time until it snapped (I went through 4 cables, pressure plate was a high spring rate which didn't help), lucky the are (were) cheap and when you done it enough the cables are actually a 5 min change over, quite easy. Only thing was driving home or to the auto part store was a pain at the traffic lights without a clutch and you didn't want a steep hill.

It's been like that since I got it, never even realised it wasn't meant to be like that. The clutch has never given me any issues, so I guess I have no problem with it.

Looks very tidy 👍

Can you get hard tonneau covers for the rear deck?

Yeah originally the pedals are lined up correctly, but the cables over the years (even months) stretch slightly and it drops a little but still work perfectly fine and no reason to fix it, you can adjust it but that meant for me atleast the cable had stretched even more.

Yes you can, and I will be getting one ASAP. Also filler panels, which cover the gap where those hooks for the Tonneau are.

OK thanks.👍 If any pedals need adjusting it's the accelerator. It needs to have shorter travel and be further down (would make shifting and heel-toe-ing easier).

Not the Ferrari of course.

 

[mustangGT90210]

It would appear that the P71 has a more "I'm gonna murder you" style than the ferrari. Plus it's cooler

I'm flattered haha. I still think the Ferrari is cooler though.

Lensos?

Winter sled with new wheels:

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Eww. Sorry, but I just... Blech. Don't like it.

 

[eiriksmil]

Mine? Dude, the "wheels" are 13" steelies with 16" hubcaps. No one are supposed to like it

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Haha, what'd you do to mount the caps?

 

[eiriksmil]

I just broke off all the mounts (which was fairly easy as these are the cheapest sort) and used cable ties. Hubcaps were free, cable ties are cheap, two minutes on each wheel, max impact for little

 

[thaleppes]

Lensos?

Winter sled with new wheels:

yeah, want to go for real bbs some day, but to expensive for me at the moment so for now on lensos
got other plans for the moment so

 

[eiriksmil]

Look into RMs, half the price of RSs and literally ten times better than Lensos.

New day means new trims..
