shocking things you've found out about your car

[VKCOMMO]

hey..

i just did a bit of research about my torrie and found out that it has a high performance 308 in it. i mean it hasn't been driven since 91 and ive been too interested in the commy to care but yer, i just went onto this thread and found out that it has balls, big ones.

so i ask, what things have shocked you about your car that you didn't expect??

[Vee-ard]

you really needed the VIN to tell you it had a 308?

Anyway, I found out my ute used to be a bench seat, because it has a 3rd seatbelt in the middle.

[Stressball]

I found out that the previous owner of my car did a dogy on the RWC, coz the rear springs weren't trapped >.> Fixed now

i needed it to tell me that, cause i didnt know if it was 253 or not and the engine is full of redbacks. i need to get it fumegated. but the shocking think is that it has a high performance 308.

that it will smoke majority of cars on the road and its relativly stock and looks like an old grandpa wagon

[tonza]

that even after hitting a lamp post with a bullbar and kinking the drivers side rail a bit, with a bit of persuading, another bullbar and front bumper will bolt up and stay bolted up

My old man few months back bought a 06 Hilux SR5, he was getting suspect each day about the car, turned out it was a SR model, crashed at BHP mine somewhere and most likely rebuild from another stolen SR5, luckily he rang the guy he bought it from and got all his money back

That I went to fit a set of alpine type s speakers, and when I pulled the door cards off, that it already had type R's installed...

^nice.... I found out that mine had all the wiring there for the foggies, just no foggies?? Also when i was getting the guards rolled that the front ones were already done. This is prob really normal, but i had no idea.
