neat Mazda, but your plates don't really match the car. lol. do many people pick up on what they are for?


The plates are the old ones off my FC, which has a red 149 fitted.

Have you polished the standard wheels on that Mazda?


Wheels on the Mazda are chromed 18" RX-8 wheels. Cars lowered 2" which caused me heaps of dramas as it had 3 degrees of camber on the rear and was non adjustable. Was wearing tyres very quickly.

Just solved by fitting a Pedder's rear alignment kit for $1000.00. OUCH :-(

Love the UC looks very original .

I couldn't wait till it gets here which is next week i bought this interstate as cars are way overpriced in WA except the odd bargain ie DanWA looks like he scored one.

I currenty dont have a daily but am looking at an Escort forsale up the road, its a 2Ltr 4spd for $1800 but dont have the spare cash atm.

so my Daily is the LC and my 85 454 Kwaka :)

im thinking about selling the bike tho. to either fund the engine rebuild for the Torry or buy a Daily

heres photos before i came off :( did a little damage, the handle bars, RH foot peg snapped off, muffler and rack, jeans destroyed and scars on my arm (note to self dont wear a t shirt next time) i bought new bars and re-welded the rack.. who said coming off at 60km downhill destroyed a bike? it just slid on the bars, peg and muffler also left deep marks in the road. lts all fixed now besides the RH muffler.

Cheers
I got a few quotes but in the end there was maybe $100 difference in quotes. I went with CEVA Logistics it is costing me $1355 to get car .It was picked up from Nowra NSW about 2 1/2 hours south of Sydney they picked it up and it will be delivered to the Perth depot which i will pick it up from next Thursday .
I can only assume that Sydney to Adelaide would be under $1000 especially if it is Sydney local not country NSW.
Just google interstate car transport and you will find that most will do an online quote within minutes.
