The Dream Is Over

[jimmythekidd]

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to sell the falcon soon (not yet as I still need a car to drive for now)
god damn it, I had my dream car at 22 who else can say that?
expect to see a proper thread in the "Trading Post" and possibly an ad the Trading Post soon.

is that the one that went around the net as the 400hp corolla?

if so, i've seen it as well

[jimmythekidd]

I havent seen that corolla anywhere.

but I have seen a sky blue 1992 magna wagon
it was sweet, it had like stock everything and 1 hubcap missing.


yes my dream car is the falcon, although the next one will be an XB coupe and it wont be my daily driver.

/me creams over damage....

Ph34r teh V8 ROLLA!!! - clicky (http://www.boostcruising.com/readersrides/entry/6/6807.html)

[BiGsy]

If its your dream car why are you selling it?

[MR2]

the sheer amount of fuel it sucks :( unless your on a god damn huge amount of money there is just no dosh left for hash weed n pills.

only 350km to $100+ of fuel is what I see..dunno what he'd be near

the Kia Rio does 500-600km on $40, services that are $80 every 20thou, GTO is $250+ service every 5thou

if nothing else maybe keep it as a second car for weekends?

It'd fetch about a grand. Any more than that and he'll be doing well.

Almost not worth selling.

[PHOENIX_12]

i recon it's worth more than that, wouldn't buy it myself couldn't afford the up keep but still

i was gonna say.

There's no way theyd fit a v8 into one of the more current generation FWD corollas.

the KE20 is a good platform for engine conversions, you see it alot.

Many 6 cylinder twin turbo conversions are done too.

[PHOENIX_12]

u could probably mod it to have custom v8 fit into normal engin compartment and run into the back seat area or somthing take more time and money than it's worth but i recon it could be done

but that's beyond the realms of sanity.

If you want to be like that, fine, anything is possible... but it's just so rediculous and expensive no one would do it. Especially when there's more suitable conversions to be done.

Funniest thing I saw was a corona that had a supra / soarer / chaser 1JZ-GTE engine transplanted into it...

Now that's pretty cool

cant afford rego + insurance on 2 cars,
If I had a garage to store it it I'd keep it for sure, then I could spend the money on it when I got the money later in life.

oh well.
easy come easy go,
I sure had a fun year driving it, so many smiles on random bogans faces

.en awesome car

someone buy it for $50,000 coz its got like matching numbers or something and it was one of only 7 made or something...

[PHOENIX_12]

see told ya it'd go 4 a good price

[fauxpas]

Would be worth a few thou if everything worked, even if it was on 5/10 condition.

But if a car needs work on it, especially the fiddly stuck like door handles n s h i t, then you start looking for a car that's pretty problem free.

So 1000 for a base car that needs work and you have to pray every year it'll pass rego without costing a fortune is fair... more than fair...

To get this car to a point you could sell it for 10,000+ you'd need to spend that much on it...

If you don't sell this for 1k or uner, store it where ever you can...

Post it on ebay for some stoopid price and wait for some wanker to jump on it...

That's a Mini with a V8 for those of you who are a little less mechanically inclined...

Nuff said.

[James]

is that that little rover V8 though?>

[fauxpas]

I saw a mag that featured a mini with a 429 BOSS... it was driven from the back seat if I recall...

[PHOENIX_12]

. . . erm . . . and how much did they spend on that?

[fauxpas]

True enthusiasts do the work themselves...

Cost = parts only...

That's why my car only cost me $600. ;)

[fauxpas]

preach it brother!

[MR2]

Small V8's weigh less and use less space and put out less heat then a 2Lt..so V8's make alot of sense when you don't have much space

[fauxpas]

Long live the Leyland P76 270ci All-Alloy V8

Used a lot in TRs and inboard motored boats...
