1994 Mazda Lantis Type R

170ps 7500 RPM 2.0 all-alloy V6, 5 speeds, viscous LSD, smooth, a bit fat, but very practical with the hatch up and the back seats down. It’s a lot of fun revving it out through the first 3 or 4 …

1993 Volvo 940 Wagon

Blue, and rolling on super rare Polaris 17x7 factory option wheels, this is a practical car with factory good looks. Not yet sure what I want to swap into it, or if I’ll keep it at all. The wheels I …

1991 Volvo 240 GLE wagon

The most expensive car I’ve ever bought at under 4k NZD, I love this as much as my wife, sometimes more. It’s given me about as much trouble as she has, but like her, it’s a faithful and good looking …

1990 Volvo 740 GLE sedan

GLE spec, for the non-Volvo people, is the 16v B234F variant of this classic boxy shape. 153hp from 2.3 litres with a mild stock cam leaves plenty of room to grow, but motivates the lighter-than-expected sedan plenty well enough as …

1989 Volvo 360 GLT Hatchback

Not available in the USA, and not built in Sweden, this is a weird Volvo with 50/50 weight distribution and RWD. It has a de Dion rear end and rear mounted Volvo transaxle (like some corvettes) with a tube to …

1988 Volvo 240 GL Sedan

Metalic blue with blue interior. Was bought cheap with “Volvo Low Friction” rod knock and destined to give up parts for my 240 wagon, but my wife fell in love with the interior colour scheme and banned me from crushing …

1988 Hyundai Stellar II

Italian styling, British chassis, Japanese driveline, Korean build quality. What’s not to love? Affectionately nicknamed the “hotel hyundai” due to the 9 months I spent living in it and developing FreeEMS under street light and from remote library wifi with …

1988 Ford Courier (NZ-spec Mazda B2000, LWB, 8" diff, 1 tonne rating)

Bought brand new by dad in December 88, and put into service early in 89, this truck was omnipresent throughout my childhood in it’s original 80hp SOHC 2.0 form. Eventually my hatred of rocker arms led to a 16v swap, …

1983 Toyota KP60 Starlet DX

Rear wheel drive, 700kg, good looks, good feel, just needs 12 more valves, which will be delivered via an at-first bone stock blacktop 20v 4age with stock ITBs and, of course, FreeEMS. Later a higher compression hotter cam engine might …

1998 Nissan Stagea 25X-Four

Roomy JDM (yo!) wagon with the same underpinnings as the mighty GTR Skyline, except less power, more weight, and more wagonesque style. With a rear subframe 50mm wider than any other nissan, it fits as many dead bodies as you …

1998 Suzuki Wagon R Wide

Turbocharged, manual transmission, 8400 RPM, HKS SSQV “super squeaker” ricer valve, intercooler the size of a paperback, turbo the size of my left nut, enough body kit to slow down a veyron, girls look, old ladies yell, guys laugh, turns …

1961 Volkswagen Beetle

Bought brand new by my grandfather who died before I was born, inherited from my self-taught grandmother when she gave up driving in her 80s who, according to rest home staff, thought the sun shone out of my arse.

1954 Volkswagen Beetle

Oval window, full set of spares, minus the body shell and pan.
