The new ride
Here it is folks, it arrived 12:01am this morning.
I'll give you a bit of info about the beast...
It's a '99 model, all optional accessories removed for weight reduction purposes; rear wheel drive; only been driven about 2,500km since new; dark chrome paint-job; leather seat; 1/2 hp motor with approx 1 Nm torque. Unfortunately the top speed is only 40km/h, but it's got an impressive 0-20km/h time of 5.5 sec. She's got racing semi-slicks on the rears which really help to put the power down, and all-terrains on the front for that perfect grip in the wet when steering.
As for the condition, the pictures really compliment it but it's not as good as it looks. The timing is off due to a loose timing chain (worn over time...) and there are one or two bolster rips in the seat. It also has some surface rust along the bolts and the floor plan, but that isn't too bad. It's sitting on 14" multispokes, 1-stud pattern and offset 0. All in all I think she'll do me good...I only plan to use her for 3 months anyhow
Here's the massive 14" multispokes
I've got some plans for cosmetics...I'm going to shave the bumper soon
These are the brakes. They're a massive upgrade from stock, got plenty of stopping power!
And here you can see how the timing chain has become corroded and loose.
It was an opportunity I just couldn't live down. After a few upgrades and some repairs, I think the 3 months I'm going to have her for are going to be fantastic
Hahah
Cheers guys

nice description! 
the back is maxxis lol
Love the paint job and those wheels are sweet, they BBS RS's ? Needs more offsets and dish though, and drop the bastard on the deck, I hear them HotTuning coils are a good cheap upgrade, PM Robin for more details 
love the description!
