eh at moment im really not sure the 5 is just brilliant everybody stops and stares(its standard) in ireland dump valves on an 89 gets sooooo many double takes they all expect a starlet turbo ten a penny over here but ive been through 2 engines 2 turbos and various other bits and pieces in 2 years owning it and my one has reached the end of its life some one crashed into me and i realised all the filler under more investigation some parts of the car is red and some blue at the sills(as in front under paint red go past weld blue???) so defo time for another one.
ah the 19 my motorway mauler i never thought id love it as much as i do but she keeps breakin down on me after the circlip went i changed my driving style lol but to no avail ive had head gasket,engine mounts,starters,worn threads on calipers,broke front drivers seat no dash lights,and now this circlip but all in all its a tie i love them both but for totally different reasons
