Ebay - Lad should be shot...

"The car owned by an elderly gent from new and sold only 2 months ago - Therefore practically a 1 owner from new vehicle."

I particularly enjoyed "Practically one owner from new"

Its OK...its the butt ugly one anyway.

They weren't that rare a few years ago, it was the braindead kids who didn't want them because they were RWD that tended to destroy 'em..

I've stripped a couple of those for the running gear myself - the bits go much better in an early Starlet..

What a numpty.

Wonder how he did it? - I was expecting the usual 'not used to RWD' type of stack with one of the rear 3/4 panels caved in.

To hit something head on is just crap driving rather than lack of RWD experience, which would almost be understandable.

I remember a lad who used to watch us rallying bought a 75 3.0 and stacked it the same way, in about the same amount of time. Not pretty.

"Good Engine/Gearbox"

So the impact wouldn't have done bad things to the engine like caused the block to crack or anything?

It's fun out there at the mo' for any light RWD cars, roads covered in water/ice/salt etc. very greasy. Even my Locost with it's 1.3 crossflow has enough arse-out action to be drifting it around roundabouts etc. in second :)

I stripped the spare engine yesterday (standard 1.6 GT xflow) it looks untouched and in good nick, except for the welded together big end bearing on no.2 :) Cheap rebore and I have some .30 oversized 1.3 pistons to go in and a ready reground crank, come on Summer ! :)

Tell me about it, the 75 does a nice little step-out at every roundabout at the moment.

Having just driven across Ireland in a FWD when I usually potter about in RWD, I am now convinced RWD handle right.

I've never made dispariging comments about your profession with serious intent before, but for that comment alone, you are a "thick truck driving wanker".

That's an AE86. In the original condition it would be worth on the current market about £5-8k.

Probably got the arse end out too far, looped it round and twatted a tree or a wall, or thought he could drift and understeered straight into something.

Probably tried to copy the downloaded episode of Initial-D he watched on his mates incar DVD player, thinking he was the Uber drift king.

make sure you use good fuel, those 1.3 pistons burn easy in a 1.6

Well said.

In Japan that would be an 85. The 86 has popup headlights. We got the same version here with the shitty engine instead of the 4AG.

Anybody else but you, I would assume they meant it. :)

how nerdy of you to notice Fraser, i spotted that but kept the pointless info to myself. most initial D fans would have noticed :)
