Just looking through the loose change in the car to purchase that rig now. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually no need to ask - if your Kia can handle so much loose change (just 1motor/$100k ~ 1 tonne of coins ) then just strap the rest of the rig to the car roof 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early 90's I had an rx4 coupe.I miss that noise and that car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Mid 90's my neighbour had a RX4 13b Bridgeport, My mate has a Savanna RX3 Peripheral Port and another had a Mild Port RX5. Couple of the guys still have their Rotaries and are now bringing them back to life after sitting in Garages while they raised a family. I was the black sheep with a 351 Ford XD or a 302W XW Many a night spent at the Auburn Maccas, Twin M4 Servos and Davies Rd and even Bondi on the odd occasion Weekends spent looking at cars at Lahood Motors, Ray Dyson Motors next to Rare Spares Homebush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
