Hey Brayden, Nice buy :) Great to see a few Carry's around in good hands, it's a shame to let a nice Carry go to waste. It's funny, back home in Melbourne, there is next to no Carry's cruising around, while here in Vietnam, there is one in every corner, I see on average about 20+ a day :) So, your n...

Brayden, FYI I picked up one of these kits late last year when I was installing the turbo kit on my convertible. I looked everywhere for this kit and for some odd reason, they were either out of stock, or couldn't get them in when I searched both online and my local auto stores. That was a while ago...

If I remember correctly, it's under the inlet manifold towards the timing cover area, I found this while trying to find the engine number for rego in Vic way back in the day for my brother. As holk stated, there is only a 6 digit number stamped way back on the block, pretty hard to see. Hope this he...

From the limited details, sounds like the old 'NOSBOY' from NSW? White with black bonnet, twin exhaust...rings a bell.
Last I heard from this car was the previous owner trying to sell way back in the day on RedlineGTi forum, if its the same car, looks like it made its way to Adelaide.

Hi All, I'm after a air con compressor for the F5A, it's for the Pimp Wagon, it already has all the gear for air con but missing the compressor. I wasn't going to bother with the air con but after experiencing a stinking hot summer earlier in the year I thought I hook it back up. Now the Pimp Wagon ...

Im currently in Vietnam, and saw many of these Chery QQ's buzzing around my home town (Qui Nhon) just north of Ho Chi Minh city. Never got a chance to see them up close, but from the rear badging clearly stating Chery QQ. There are heaps of Matiz's, Cherry QQ, Suzuki Carry, Super Carry & a Super...

Gilly, My brother is using NGK DCPR7EIX in his '87 RS-R (F5A DOHC Turbo), or you could save a few bucks and just use the non iridium plugs that is currently in your F6A ( DCPR7E ). I had the same issues back in the day when I first serviced his car, I looked up NGK website and got the same part numb...

Here is a dyno result from my brothers '87 Alto RS-R. The previous owner had it dyno'd back in 2004, the car is pretty much stock standard besides the pod filter I installed soon after I purchased it, so I reckon with the pod filter, it will net him an extra 1 to 2 kW :) Below is the scanned dyno sh...

Yep, I'm talking about the beige one.
Oops, thought we were talking about the beige one
My bad, anyhow, both are a work of art.

Offer considered

I remember this car. A friend of mine who works at ( http://www.j-spec.com.au/ ) showed me this mighty boy back in 2006 when it was for sale, J-Spec had direct contact with the seller. I was somewhat interested to see what he was asking :) If I remember correctly, when I found out the owner has set ...

Thanks for the info guys. Not sure when the timing belt as been changed, as I can recall, one of the previous owners who purchased the Van, the engine died on route to Adelaide. From reading on here, possibly a 2nd hand engine was purchased and installed, if this was the case, not sure if the timing...

Hi all, It's been a while since I posted something here, the Pimp Wagon has been running great and it never missed a beat, besides running a little on the hot side during the hotter weather, due to the over sized front mount cooler restricting air to the radiator. The first time around (a few months...

Just wondering what the difference between a Standard radiator cap and a Recovery radiator cap? When I got the Van back to Melbourne, the first things on my service list was to change the radiator cap and the old one looked a bit tired. The ones that CPC listed for the carry for my Van was on the la...

OMG!

I'm such a dumb@ss, I thought this was next week for some reason!
Please don't ask what I was thinking!
My day was pretty much free, I was bored so I thought I try and finish my turbo conversion on my other car!

Oh well, it would have been an awesome day!
