1st was a 1987 KC for laser, 4 door, 1.6 NA screamer, was mums car, bought it off her, later sold it to my sister, slapped a 2.5" exhaust on it, learnt to drive in it, learnt to do lock to lock hand brake drifting in gnangarra pines in it and basically taught myself car control and how to get out of nearly any obsurbd situation ripping the handbrake at 140 on a dirt track can get you into...
2nd 1988 KE Ford laser turbo 4wd, high probability of it being an ex cop chaser, at the time i got it, rex's where still new and insanely expensive to most, for the money these thinsg where a rocket ship, i gave a couple of friends whiplash on launches, very little could outleg it on the road, had a massive stereo setup, coil overs, slight exhuast, limo tint, and a pod filter, used to drive it dumped on its ass, bakker spec, it'd bottom out on coke cans on there side, it popped a coolant hose on the way back from bunbury one night, i noticed too late, byt then the head was a banana, it came apart for a full rebuild from ground up to a show car, it came apart, and thats where its remained, ive got a plan for it now, hopefully ill get stuck into it soon..
Brand spanker 99 rex, mica green, limo tint, 3" cat back, big stez, first ever run at the drags for both myself and car netted 13.l7, at the time a real fast pass ofr a street car, my first rex, and i wish id kept it, saddly a change in work situation meant i had to sell it in case i didn't have an income, wish id hung onto it, sold it to a mate, who has since put a full zorst, suspension thru it, autronic, bigger turbo, bigger top mount CAI, and other goods, laps wanners in high 68's with ease now..
Another KE TX3 4wd laser, hi flo'd turb, extra boost, bigger cooler, when it came to me it was a bit of a pig, i cleaned up all the previous dodgyness and made it good, it'd run a 13.7 with the old owner, stuck my coil overs into it, and started hitting the track with it, did a nav rally and a couple of sprints and track days, sold it 6 months later to a mate, who had the centre diff go wayward and pulled it off the road, left it sitting around for ages then bought another car and later sold it to another mate of mine who fixed the centre diff issue, and re rego'd it, could never kill that thing, after the original hi flo turbo died, we stuck a libbo vf12 onto it, and dropped the gate line, 21 psi, rising rate reg, 2 big fat wankers in the car and me, with mate driving, and we hosed a type r integra in a roll on race on the freeway with a lil jap guy racing..
XRW, the blue 00 rex, modded sus throughout, front mount, more boost, 99
ecu, 17 OZ's with r-specs, massive alcon callipers and ap rotors on the front, would nail wanneroo in 70 seconds flat on the old surface, out brake rs2000 escorts with big brake setups, and took me on to nab 2nd at wellington dam hill climb in the 4wd class, outright driver in the 02 classic rally, countless fast times at MC, and a pile of track days, managed to get 13.2 out of it at the drags with a gutted interior, which given it was making about 200 at the wheels was far from shabby, later toasted the centre diff, made it RWD, went drifting, did burnouts, generally had fun, later sold it to bakker who's sold it since..
93 R33 4 door skyline, full cage, rb26, you name it, its done, or about to be, still finishing some parts of it, did dutton rally with a reduced rev limit, and a mere 300hp, still managed second in class, for both driver and co driver, outright win in class under handicap for co driver, first event, untested, un driven, had no idea how it'd go, lasted the entire weekend hassle free, should make 4-450 with ease and bake 265 18's without a hassle drifting
