This is my Hachi, doesn`t look the best yet, that is because it sat in someones backyard for a year or more. It took me a while to pursuade the owner to part with this car. In the end he bought a RX- 7 and needed funds to fix electrics & exhaust so i ended up owning it (the hachi) for $2000. I`ll try post some pix up

Car came with: 4agze
T-4 turbo
haltech E-6 computer
celica gearbox conversion
Lo-lux diff conversion
15" simmons mags 6" wide i think
front tyres- 225
rear tyres- 235
KILOFLOGS: 197355
The car needs a bit of tidying up there are a few new goodies i`d like to add when i come up with the required amount of fundage.


Needs: doors, bonnet painted
In-tank fuel pump conversion
new front screen
new (bigger) intercooler
new clutch
boost controller (E-BOOST2)?
bodykit
oil cooler (fkin hot up here in Mackay)
ETC, ETC


A couple of weeks ago i also came across this sprinter at the local wreckers, they had been driving it around the paddock!!.I paid $350 dollars for it. It has a lot of good parts that i need plus some, heres a pic or two any way.

I would welcome any useful ideas, advice for my project, short of selling HA,HA

I would also like to thank Dave from AJPS for being such a top bloke to deal with (S/H HATCH RUBBER) thanks mate look forward to future dealings.

It`s been a while but i have finally moved my hatchi from the garage, to the front yard :2thumbs: , ended up using the same pressure plate+ new\ S-Hand clutch plate for now just to get her mobile (clutch was rusted together from sitting, also needed to free up the slave cylinder). Talking about mobile fuck she`s a toey little bitch just got to make sure she doesn`t turn and bite me.It will probably be a while before i am on here again as i have to move from my sisters place (there`s something about project cars and women that just doesn`t gel) so i`ll leave some more pix. I hope it won`t be too long though i`m dying to get the hatchi on the road for a proper test run/ thrash so CHEERS FOR NOW.

I had to reload my origonal piks , will have some more piks soon, cheers

I just thought i`d update my post, progress has been a bit slow due to having to move me and my car from Mackay down to the Gold Coast, but have managed to get some more paint on her and helped a bloke out with some work and landed myself a slightly used hi-lux LSD, needs a bit of a tidy up nothing a welder and a lathe won`t fix, other than that needs the rest of the rust done and a windscreen, some rubber and some other smaller items and she should be on the road ready to rock. I would not mind taking her up to Willowbank for a run on the strip just to see what she`s capable of, supposed to do 13`s according to former owner but we`ll see, should have some more photo`s soon, cheers

I`m hoping work will speed up once the rain stops, it get`s a little crowded in a single garage.

Hi guys it`s been a while since iv`e updated this thread, was mega busy at work for a while until the rain and the last three weeks havn`t been fun with having the flu, but iv`e managed to fix the rust in my spare wheel recess and most of the rust in the rear guards, still a few finishing touches to be done. I`m still in the process of fitting my radiator (R32), also managed to score myself a genuine JDM fuel tank & pump, now for some pics.
