"The ABSOLUTE BEST car on the road!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Um, well I tried stopping at a little bit too high a speed, previous owner hadn't quite tightened the alternator bracket, I ended up with a radiator full of fanblades... My fault, should have checked.

Other than that, it's PERFECT. I have owned it nearly 4 years now, driven it everywhere, never once had ANY problems.

General comments?

I need to change a few things myself, like it has 13 inch, 9-10 inch thick Bridgestone Eager tyres, and the tyres are only 50mm outer tread to rim, so they are ULTRA low profile, which doesn't help my top speed much... yet it still does OVER 160km/h.

I bought my "HR" last year in August at 18 years, I got it stock standard and on 13's. So far I've put 14/7 Tridents, big sounds, primed it for painting, and lowered the front (back still to come). Things I've still got to do are paint, upholestery and exhaust.

Economy wise it's not very good, I chew up $40-$50 a week (NZ) and thats just a little cruising and to and from work. But I love it! It's big and comfy, and I can fit all my mates in! It will look good. I love my car, it's classy!!!

I've had a hr for 4 years now and haven't even driven it yet. all I need is my useless panelbeater to paint it! still waiting though. I've got 13 inch wheels with low pro tyres and a 3:55 diff sitting behind a toughened trimatic. I reckon shes gonna scream her head off at 100km/hr! it hasn't broken down on me yet though!
