My MR2 engine went bang today. Continuing bad luck, it's cursed.

Went to view a nice black 166 with zender kit, but it wasn't in good shape. Pity, really nice car and owner seemed genuine.

What happened to it?...assuming its a 3SGE it should be more or less bomb proof.

Just took mine in, something moved in the pond and frightened the life out of me, dropped my work top and stood on it :mad:

I thought that first pic of the exhaust was a bad picture of a wheel with a chrome dish...

I need sleep.

I saw one parked in the drive of a house in my parents estate at about 7:15 this evening. I'm assuming its the same one.

OMG! Just looking at the auctions as there are still no good skylines in black but OMG! the Toyota chasers are even cheaper than the Skylines and IMO look better. They have a faster 0 to 60 also.
Check this bad boy out...

this looks much more like the kind of sedan I would like compared to the stock 4 door skyline

CianRyan · 19-05-2013 11:50PM

Tough choice between the two, the chaser as the 1J isn't it? So same displacement as the GTT.
It's such a personal choice, I'd probably have the R34 but if I couldn't get one the Chaser would be snapped up.

dgt · 19-05-2013 11:52PM

Chaser!!!!! :cool:

Ded_Zebra · 19-05-2013 11:55PM

Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser Chaser.

Why have a skyline if you could have a Chaser:cool::D:D:D:D:cool:

Chris_Heilong · 19-05-2013 11:57PM

I just tried the VRT calculator https://www.ros.ie/evrt-enquiry/vrtenquiry.html?execution=e1s2

And they dont have the JZX100 only the JZX90:(
and the other chaser option they have is set to diesel

166man · 19-05-2013 11:58PM

Even a car called a Chaser sounds cool...

Just tell them it's diesel. Be grand.

Supergurrier · 20-05-2013 12:01AM

If it's not gonna be a 2 door go for the chaser, no brainer for me anyway

Ha, maybe it's free. :pac:

You really thinking of it?
It will be very sweet, as rare as an R34 too.

Only a smoker after you bring it to dgt. He'll sort it out with a pump of an intercity train and a turbo of the HSS. The boo will be heard from 10 miles away

Chris_Heilong · 20-05-2013 12:14AM

from a quick study on them, they seem amazing, lightning fast, Toyota reliable and they look cool. I always knew the skyline wasnt a looker without a body kit.

Clondalkin area so? class looking car, just something about them.

CianRyan · 20-05-2013 12:21AM

I can slide, I'll say that much.

Chris_Heilong · 20-05-2013 12:55AM

I sent the guy at Titan Autoworks an email, his facebook page always has chasers and he seems to really know them so am going to let him guide me and make sure I dont accidentally buy an N/A version.

I'm already picturing shoveling in a p pumped 6bt with HX60..... I'm such a bad influence :pac:

Big Nasty · 20-05-2013 05:55AM

I generally don't like Jap cars but even I think that Chaser thing looks cool. Question though - is it RWD or AWD? If the answer is FWD forget about it.

They are RWD...theres an ivory one parked up in a driveway in coolock unmoved for at least the last 2 years...shame as its a fine looking car and the only one I've seen about.

Such a nice car.

That background seems to be the only one there is for Jap auctions.

What would that sell for? Or cost landed?

MuppetCheck · 20-05-2013 11:37AM

Four Fiesta ST 's together on the streets of Barcelona. Nice raspy exhaust note.

ShadowHearth · 20-05-2013 12:53PM

I had to fight myself today, to get out of the car and drag a stupid bitch out of her fiesta to explain how dumb she is! :mad:

I had to get in to main road, but there were cars driving so I had to wait. Its a small town ( Newtwopothouse ) on Cork-Limerick main road. So speed limits goes from 100 to 60 then back to 100. Then **** bucket 94 fiesta flying like crazy in 60 zone. All I could see a blond long hair in drivers seat... Well **** it, had a window to jump out behind it and cought up with her.
So all the way to Mallow I sow that fiesta go in to upcoming trafic ( I **** you not ), randomly braking, swaying from one side to other!
Cought up with her on dual line road and both of had to stop in front of the roundabout. So I just had to look inside of fiesta.
So we had a young blond bimbo with a mobile phone next to steering wheel and texting like ****. :mad: Was few stepsaway from blocking her in, then "nicely" asking her to put down the fecking thing, before she murders someone.

dgt · 20-05-2013 12:58PM

Scary what you see on the roads at times......
