Should've posted this a few weeks ago.
Currently helping a friend fix this car. take everything you know about fixing cars and toss it out the window. its the reverse of backwards and backwards again, with a hint of upside down.
parts have to be shipped from across the world so be careful with them too.

1986 with the PRV V6, has euro lights swapped in.

If you can get ahold of some original Mazda3/5 rims the car would be better.


Add that to an OEM spoiler in the back and you'll be all set.

(See example)

Ikr, everything step by step....

That pvr somehow looks like a Peugeot (edit: just looked at it again, it has zhe badge of it, so either im dumb and didnt know pvr stands for Peugeot or there is something wrong :-D ) , it sounds like a lot of fun repairing it :-P :-D

I'm snagging some early "rebuildable" strut mounts for mine. My later ones failed in less than 10 miles and pulled paint off of my fender ):

andyou lived where? duh lol

Do these pair count? Afraid my car is a bit rubbish and uninteresting.

PRV = Peugeot Renault Volvo, just a joint venture from the 3. its the same engine block as the DeLorean DMC-12, which is also a PRV engine. and yes, the car is a Peugeot, which stopped being sold stateside in 1992.

Sold in Canada as the Daewoo Lacetti and then Re-branded as the Chevrolet Optra when Daewoo was bought by GM.


It never really sold well due (In Canada at least) to the fact that it was straight between the Chevrolet Cavalier and the Chevrolet Malibu. Both were high sellers at the time and the Lacetti failed to deliver anything particularly interesting.

All that made the resale value plunge dramatically. On the positive note, it makes for a dirt-cheap car with low-maintenance and parts are easy to find when needed.

Good buy Sonic. Even if it's ugly, old, beat up and crappy, it drives and will offer you miles and miles of fun!

Got the car back on the road finally!



Here's the upgraded strut mounts

With the original covers on!

[Blade3562]

Well I found my next project. It's either an 82 or 83 I can't remember which year the color was available. But it's a 1 year only color Foret Green Metallic. A color which I only have seen in brochures and now a junkyard.

It is rust free and simply needs a core support and probably engine work but I plan on building a VR6 with my father.


He also has these two in the same color which I may save with it to either use for parts or make a second car to sell. I think there were five Forest Green Metallics!

[SO•Audiojack]

It has finally happened, I've become an old british gent. Time to take out the tweed jacket.

Goodbye Civic, you were a fun car but a little bit impractical.


Hello Hond... Wait, what? What do you mean it's not a Honda? It was made in a Honda factory...?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a 1999 Rover 620Ti, 2.0 Turbo intercooler. Based very heavily on the Honda Accord, only with a different look to it and more power and luxury. It should pack around 200bhp and all the leather and creature comforts you would want.

[Kärky]

all those mk1 rabbits blade ;_; i wanna save one ;_;

[SO•Audiojack]

So as I said in the previous post, I bought a Rover 620Ti on the first of September. I've now done about a 1000km and it feels very good so far.

I'm not gonna bother taking my own pictures because the ones from the dealership I bought the car from are very detailed

And this is pretty much all there will be, because I'm not going to do any mods to this car.

Ahh the Rover! My dad had a 216 SLi which was great. Does that model come with power assisted steering? It seems to be in great condition, not a fan of Rovers but they do amaze me lol.

Yeah, since the car is derived directly from the Honda Accord it has the same speed-sensitive power steering system as well. The only difference mechanical-wise is the engine and transmission which are original Rover kit.

Every feature seems to be perfectly functional in this one, including all the power windows&sunroof, the AC and the antilock brakes. Haven't tested the airbags yet.
