Hi All,

Story of my car history

1. Toyota Celica ST204 – originally a family members car and was my first car. It went through many stages and ended up being an ST205 GT-FOUR replica. I spent $5000 on a turbo kit for this thing (Precision turbo, pistons, rods etc…) but decided to give up on it. It looked great but it had a few battle scars under it’s skin that ate away at me.

2. Mazda 323 BF SS Turbo – my first turbo car and I wish I never sold it. Fully resprayed, original interior, full suspension, B6T + bolt on’s. I regretted selling it and then it came back up for sale but I didn’t buy it as I was scared it was thrashed in between. My biggest regret not keeping this.

3. Mitsubishi Triton – current daily: finished university and decided to move up to the mines. No respect for this car but this is why I enjoy it. Thrash it until it dies. Plus having a ute provides so much flexibility.

4. Toyota Supra JZA70R – I wanted a project and respected the MK3 shape. It flew with only bolts on but the paint needed attention, dash was cracked and again, it moved hands. It’s minor flaw’s just pissed me off and I didn’t want to spend the coin.

5. Ford Laser Turbo – current track car: fully forged (15k) BPT, high flow turbo, cooler, microtech, mod plated, stripped, suspension, rims. I still have this car which act’s as a weekend hill climb car. This car is an overpowered fwd terror. It’s cheap to fix and a great entry to motorsport vehicle.

6. …UZZ31 – current cruiser: The car was purchased off a Soarercentral member who passed away (Vince Parrish).This was his pride and joy which is reflected in the low km's, non-cracked interior, non-blemished paint and overall excellent condition. I picked it up for a bargain price and don't plan on selling it anytime soon.
