just htought id post up my brother in laws van















this isnt your ordinary torago...... infact it isnt even a torago at all its an imported toyota esteema witch is turbo diesel, its been resprayed in old school escort green, massive body kit sides have been cut down due to scraping, it has imported 18" wheels, it has pod to help the turbo breathe, its been retrimmed, has isotta sports wheel and gear knob looks like auto but is 5 spd, has single neon to light the footwell, has sony comp head unit, focal splits up front and focal coaxs in the rear, the middle seats have been removed.

Seeing as its not commodore related...... moved to the pub

[minux]

that is more of a waste of money than people doing up hyundai excels

[89vncommy]

Umm .. I am going to get flamed for this, but this is my other project car ... And yes it is a Hyundai.... Crossed with an evo.. It is putting out about 245kw at the wheels at the moment...








So yeah, try not to flame too much... But this was the first brand new car I ever bought back in 1997. As much as people diss Hyundai, it has never set me back for any problems.. No electrical problems (came stock with all power options). Only ever had to replace the clutch once, and change the wheel bearings at the front...

As the engine was designed by Mitsubishi, I decided that last year I was going to transplant the Evo 4G63 (I imported the US version).. So she is now turbo and shocks a lot of people on the streets...

I just can't understand why some people have a white steering wheel. This one looks like it could be "spray & wipe" but I think still totally impractical.
Other than that, it doesn't look too bad for a van.

[coolvxss]

Van looks like a big waist of money too me. If he put that money into a commie, you would have a pretty sweet car with performance to back it up.

[andyman]

sorry not a big fan of the esteema, the square body kit just dosnt look right on the overall round shape of the van

[bangers]

anyone see the FJ Holden on Beyond Tomorrow? on the corvette chassis with supercharged corvette engine. built by holden with a $1.5 million price tag.

89vn your other car is mad i like it honestly i think if any won has the courage to do something different like you and my brother in law i say go for it u see heaps of worked commies around but how many cars like urs or big green vans.

i think anyone that is closed minded enough to say that commies are the only good cars are idiots in there opinion they like them more power to them but to say they are the best is just stupid.

i just like cars i dnt care weather there "ricers" blown big block american muscle or good old aussie beasts. i like drifting i like drags and i just like cars in general so any one closed minded enough to just say one sort is best is crazy.

everyone is entitled to there own opinion i posted this for people like me who just like cars and to see what other people have seen that they like that i might have not, it wasnt posted to hear replys on the van

although thanks and for disses your more than welcome to have your opinion just dont voice it on this thread because it is an open minded thread for open minded people look and if you dont like what you see dont bother posting.

cheers everyone

Thanks mate ... I am the same .. I love cars for cars, and am also a bike rider (I have a GSXR1000 2004 model) I will attach a photo of that too since it is still on topic... I am running the Sonata on 20psi and have re-built the engine to boost it up even more... Will be finishing off the engine stuff maybe next month and will boost it to 25psi and dyno it to see what its power is.. I tell myself when I get to 300kw I will stop ... So we will see....

I really wanted to get a V8 vn, but I wanted something my fiance could drive, and something that wasn't going to kill me with petrol, so I could use it as a daily instead of the sonata...

Stock ..


To new exhaust & clean look with no decals ...


To how she is now with new decals, new chip & program, smaller front sproket, various other carbon fibre parts and the 300km/hr engine cut taken off...

[brohawk]

yer the sonata looks wild would be a bit of fun to drive :P the bike looks wild to that would be wild through the hills.

as for stopping at 300 we will wait and see i dnt think you will you look at it and be like yer i can get a bit more :P

[brohawk]

kritical why dnt u read all post in the thread before replying to this one. and theye are imported my brother in law is good mates with the guy who bought it over and helpped out through the build, then when it was up for grabbs he jumpped at the chance so he flogged off his 180 for the van coz it was more family friendly.

so maby next time read all post before you post

what on earth r u doin over 300kph

[brohawk]

dropping the clutch to get her up on 1 wheel to slip between cars :P

[VKStevo]

300kmph, thats hell fast slipping between cars, unless u mean rev limiter

[brohawk]

i havent done it at that speed but at 180 plus i have its a killer adrenalin rush

no speed limiter most bikes dnt have rev limiters they can get up to round 13k

[89vncommy]

Yeah no real rev limiter on bikes...

But yeah, that is 300k's... I can do about 140k's in first and then I still have plenty of gears to go through ...

I have only been above 300 a couple of times, but that kind of speed is just for the track ... Not really a big fan of putting her up on 1 wheel either... Sounds a little boring, but I don't really like risking things.. I have seen too many accidnets from that kind of stuff ....

[brohawk]

yer i only used to do it on my mates bikes to show ppl the balance control that you can have with the right amoutnt of throttle bikes are fun thogh love to wind it out on a nice day

[VKStevo]

ok cool

my old bike wasnt capable of going that fast anyway, well it mightav if the gearing was set up 4 it, but it was only a dirt bike, gives an awesome adrenaline rush around dirt tracks though, had 2 take breaks every now and then so my heart dont explode, lol, was good fun though, that revved tonnes high too

i wanna go 4 a ride on a road bike, should be fun, especially now im up in adelaide there isnt many places 2 ride dirt bikes

[brohawk]

hey stevo were bout in adelaide are you my brother in law does moto x to and he rides a pretty killer track

[VKStevo]

ok cool, im from mawson lakes, i aint that good though, just like having a bit of fun uno, also i dont do big jumps, had 2 many bad experiences

also when i sed my old bike wasnt capable of going that fast i was talkin about the 180k's it wouldnt go anywhere near the 300 lol

also ive sold my bike now coz it wasnt getting ridden since i moved

[89vncommy]

I don't get to ride mine much either.. To much time spent working, then working on the cars... So that is pretty much my life at the moment.. But I can't bring myself to sell her... But since I make sure I don't take out loans on cars/bikes it doesn't really bother me that it just sits in the garage for weeks on end... Only costs me the registration that way.. And rego for a bike is heaps better then a car anyway so that is cool ...

[VKStevo]

yeh how much does it cost 2 get ur motorbike licence these days?

[brohawk]

yer i have to go get my bike licence so i can buy a crotch rocket. lol i just and a nice ninja or sumfin paint it to match my car put the i love porn n strippers stickers on it and just blast around town in summer. crank the globes the 3/4 jean shorts and a beater :P gotta love it
