My name's Daniel and my username's related not to the metal band but myself and my dog Ziggy (named after Bowie's alter-ego). Here he is looking throughtful:
Enough about a dog though, we're interested in cars!
Here's a few I prepared earlier:
My first real car which is an R32 GTST which ended up with me swapping in an RB25DET and a host of other gofast and handling bits. Was a good car which I later
Sold when I acquired this:
"Stevo" the Evo 7 which was a fantastic car. Full exhaust tuned for 200KWATM and had Cusco bracing, swaybars and ohlin coilovers. The one issue I did face with it was I was far too mechanically sympathetical with it. I'll put this down to not being able to afford serious breakage and damage to it as opposed to the truth which is that I'm a pussy.
While owning Stevo I decided to make something (why didn't I just buy an MX) cheaper which I could afford to dispose of should I run out of skill.
This is what I came up with and this is what I did (and still do) with it:
It's a stripped out KE70 running a rebuilt (to stock specs) 4AGE which the usualy exhaust boltons ect. I'm still currently competing with it in the local dirt motorkhana (coming first in class currently) and khanacrosses (not being beaten by kids yet currently).
I had a go at time attack with the GSREVO club resulting in a 1.33.XX on free tires with no wheel alignment or skill.
and I also had a go with the drift kids as all KE70 driftkings do:
Now, this is where things get relevent and I'm introduced to the wonder world of MX5's.
After selling the Evo which I replaced with an BA XR8 (i was riding downhill a lot and needed a ute) I was thinking long and hard about getting another cheap import to thrash around with and hopefully oneday learn how to drive. I'd always been pretty keen on the little MX due to it's light weight, simplistic nature and pretty cool sportscar appeal. Luckily enough my partner also is a hairdresser so I can easily hide behind the old "it's not my car" should I be feeling a little less masculine. Another major influence on the MX has been reading through a few of the great threads on here with the standout being local forum celebrity Bryan's "Little Reddy".
After looking at a few different models and convincing she who should be obeyed that we need one I settled on this neat, cheap little run around:
(original sale picture)
Stock as a rock (besides the wheels but they'll do) 1991 NA6, 240k on the clock but cheap and cheerful besides a dodgy clutch which was to be replaced ASAP!
Here's one of are early drive's together. It was true love:
Plenty more to come!
Glad to hear that I've inspired someone.
