"Go the Isuzu"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Diff blew at 170000 kms of pure thrashing.

Needed a new water pump after 146000.

Minor rust in doors.

General comments?

This car is exceptional. It handles great and is not slow. I put a stage 4 cam webber and full exhaust on. It made it like a rally car - it easily beats V6 Commodores and kills Falcons. Drive it right and it will impress anyone.

It's also easy to control and does great burnouts for a 1.6. It gets both wheels spinning easily without an LSD.

I would recommend it to anyone - it's a little beast.

Yeah I own a 2 liter TG Sedan. It absolutely hammers. Had a locked diff in it, had to change it to make it roadworthy, but still spun both wheels no worries. Just was not as good for doies.

I think that every one should own at least one in their life - they are so much fun!!!
