Nice :) this one used to be silver as well. Ive had it since 2000 i think... far too long, but it is heaps of fun wth the grunty 1800 i put in it

nice! i really liked mine. It had the 1600 but i put an aftermarket coil, leads, 4 prong spark plugs and usually ran it on avgas and it moved pretty well for what it was. i also put two 15" and two 12" subs and it almost rattled so much it fell apart. the sunroof mounts fell out of the roof, doors wouldn't shut tight and teh rev counter and speedo needle would constantly wave by 20 degrees or so if you get what i mean.

have you tried winding down the torsions? i found mine handled awesome with a bit of height adjustment.

Yea i have it lowered as much as was suitable for me. I live in the wops so some ground clearance is nice. It has a set of adjustable shock absorbers and a big engine... thats about as far as the modifications go on that car.

I remember i always wanted a subwoofer in my car... im so glad i never did because now i think they are the stupidest things around :P

different things are cool at different ages haha. it was awesome in those days having a setup like that as a bunch of us would cruise to the beach, open the hatch and we had tunes for a party.

i like teenagers, they remind me of myself when i was young and stupid :slfg:

Im young(21)..... and sometimes stupid lol i want speakers in my boot but done want just cheap and nasty DIY jobs that most young people do(not me ofcourse). i do thins properly but even speakers are REALLY expensive if you want good ones. but its not really a priority with 2 toddlers and a wife to use all my money on lol

When I was a teen I got speeding tickets twice when my parents borrowed my car.

Mine were, iirc, going 35 in a 25 on Ft. Richardson(No signs anywhere I could see so I was going the speed traffic goes)

100 in an 80, on a section of motorway at 10pm that suddenly drops to 80. Going to work after an aquarium club meeting.

And 56 in a 50 school zone so double fines. Cause...You know those kids are all over the place at 5am.

I never have rego, its yet another forced tax upon us. have had a couple no rego fines, but I still think I am in credit. worse fine i had totaled just under 2K no reg, no WOF ( uncommon for me ) and no diesel km's. opps
