Mine pushes out around 98 bhp because of the XR3 enjin.

@steelsnake: The one at the back is mine, the front one is my dads.

I normally drive a 2001 Toyota Tacoma pickup for work to make the payments on my toy, a 2004 Pontiac GTO. It's stock because I don't have the money to do anything with it right now. But with 350hp it's not bad.

I'd race that GTO

Nice cars everyone

I just bought my first car yesterday (which should be here by Wednesday), so I'll send some pictures during the weekend

It's a 1989 Celica SX... simular to bogans

cannot wait!

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 06 Feb 2006, 12:06

Alright! About bloody time

Is this the one that needs the new tranny?

jacoja06 · Post by **jacoja06** » 06 Feb 2006, 23:13

Yep, thatâ€™s the one

We managed to exclude $1500 off the original price, so that should leave us some spare room for the gearbox.
I might also take a look at how to renew the paintjob... It's looking very deceased.

Edit: Especially the FB 0_o

All you need is some Cut and Polish (No.2) and lots of elbow grease

btw is the FB is bad as mine, or just faded?

I drive a bike.

Here goes my attempt to look like Stig. Didnt turn out that great.

Ahh, it's looking pretty dodgy... many small crack marks from the sun.

I don't think there is much fading though.

Edit: Have you done any reconditioning to yours?

HKS · Post by **HKS** » 07 Feb 2006, 09:34

@79 RS : Love the RS2000 u hav there, really nice restoration job. I had the RS1600 before i bought the XR3, they go like stink.

If u hav any questions about that enjin rebuild go to this site http://www.fordsport.org.uk they helped me aout alot when i did my enjin transplant.

steelsnake00 · Post by **steelsnake00** » 07 Feb 2006, 10:21

HKS, it just occurred to me, why didn't you transplant an engine with more power?
Like a Duratec V6 or Cosworth engine.
I know expense is an issue but engine transplants are never economically viable anyway.

HKS · Post by **HKS** » 07 Feb 2006, 13:02

There was a cossie engine in the car when i bought it,but i siezed it and the XR3 was the only one i had lying around. I'm putting in another engine some time this year,just depends on what i can pick up for a good price. What do u suggest? (i want another cossie)

Nah not yet. All I need to do is sand it back where the paint has flaked off/cracked and use some touch-up paint to fix it.

If the cracks are small and not very deep, then cut n polish or wet and dry sandpaper should do the trick. Otherwise you'l probably have to do what I'm doing.

jacoja06 · Post by **jacoja06** » 08 Feb 2006, 11:38

^Awesome

Just picked it up earlier on today.

Edit: Here are some of the first images (halfway through cleaning):
Gave if a cut and polish afterwards, so It looks much better now
