"Good car if you have patience and like 4wdriving"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Clutch cable snapped at 198000.. cost $70 and about 5 minutes of my time to fix it. Too easy.

Radiator seal broke at 198000 also, cost $280 to have it re-sealed.

General comments?

Car has been reliable, and a pretty rad looking car. Slowest car on the road, and I mean it is ridiculously slow.. maybe that's because I don't like revving it above 3 grand.

Off-Road keeps up with the big boys, taken it on some serious trails including to be the only car up a 35 degree hill that 2 80 series cruisers lifted with 33's and diff's locked got stuck. also rolled it on its side about 30 minutes later, pushed it back up, no damage. Good times!

With a couple of speakers in the back and a head deck sound is good in the car and is comfortable enough for 4 blokes to sit in.

Makes an annoying whistling sound above 3 thousand revs when pushing it a bit, also making it a shocker on the highway.

Best off road. and at the beach.

The whistling sound you hear is the muffler rotted out. I replaced mine about two weeks ago for a 2 inch system with an extracter and it sounds great.
