yeah she was 2 turbo, flyer of a car,
but sold her the day after i bought her for more money so had to let her go.
 
A blown engine on a twin cam? Thats not often heard of. Them engines are unreal tough. I have a mint ae92 corolla gti in storage for a good few years with 32k miles, one owner from new when I bought it. I will never sell it. I had about 5 twin cams when I was in my early 20's, great little machines. The first corolla gti I had, had 250k miles when I sold it and didnt burn a drop of oil. That black ae86 you have looks class.

Toyota engines tend to have big end problems? I never heard of many at all, I would have thought quite the opposite. My experience of the twin cam engine and the gt4 st205 engines were amazing reliability and never heard many bad stories of either from others. Thats not to say I am correct though.
 
There may have been an oil starvation issue with that problem car,
A partially blocked coolant pipe killed 2 turbos and an engine in my skyline this year, :doh:

My first car was my Transit connect van which i just sold. Was mapped and a Torque steer animal.
Had a race with a Toyota Cynos once and bet him upto 70mph. On a private road of course.
Second car was the Glanza V in the pic which was also mapped with this giant intercooler i fitted.
Not long after that i got my type R :thumbsup: :subaru:
 
My first car was a 1.4 vauxhall nova sr I bought up the north.I loved it but the introduction of the NCT spelled the end for that!!! I have photos I ll try get scanned onto
my computer.this pic is a MR2 I drove for a couple of years

@dan ,it was just 1 of them cars...all pipe's in the car were cleaned well and even a new oil cooler went in at 1 stage... :ponder2:

jesus gizmo if you had pics before the last 3 years you would be at the computer allday but some nice cars there man
 
1st car was my Impreza 1.6 the blue classic,, then my Wrx but i have no pics as the laptop with the pics is Brok,, Then THE BEST CAR I EVER OWNED The Mr2 2.0lt turbo,,, i act miss her like a missing child,,
 
i dont think so,, i just loved puting the foot down and how the ars would slip about,, i dont think it was a bad drive real proper drive, but when you time it right its sweet the way the powre just pills in, and the sound, :hammerhead: i think if you hav'nt had a spin in one then try get a go,, to be fair my car was not standard but even still the standard one is still great,, :icon_pray: the guy who has it now has probly recked it. :icon_sad: The wheels are Dair, and were magnesium.
