Your Previous Car - What did u drive before ur CJ??

So what became of it Deano? You sold it off?

Always wondered what became of my previous cars, mate of mine saw my old Mazda 3 driving round a few weeks ago, freaky if I see it one day.

Took all my stuff off it....Wheels, Amp, Sub, Headunit etc....
and traded it in when i bought my lancer bout a week and a half ago!
Had a killer Exhaust, 108db! Ppl heard me coming miles away!
I miss it quite a bit but love my new car!!

memories hey!! lol

Nice ride Deano
Funny how you miss them when they're gone!
I miss my old CE Coupe it had a 4g92 MIVEC conversion from a JDM Cyborg - went hard!!!!!!!!!!!
But my CJ is beautiful.

I drove an 89 Montero before trading it in on the Lancer. Talk about a change of pace! I felt like I was sitting so low to the ground at first, but I've gotten used to driving a car again.

Here's my old ride:

1996 VS Commodore 5 litre V8 manual (quite different to a Lancer!)

Extractors, cold air intake, twin 2.5 inch pipes, no mufflers, 120dB - very naughty. I also put the SS Commo bodykit on and the roll bar. I did also put a 6 stack CD player in it, which was one of the 'beez neez' ones back in the day and other stereo stuff but I hardly used it, there was no point, you could only hear the exhaust.

She certainly turned heads. I have heard/seen it once since sold. I was driving a bus at the time but still heard it coming from behind - thought to myself hmm that's a nice sounding 5 litre and then when it passed me and I saw the rare roll bar and number plate I thought holy shit that's my girl! I rang the bloke I sold it to and yep that was him still driving it. He put mufflers on though.... I still have his no. in case I win lotto - after the Mrs, the second phone call I make will be to him so I can buy it back. I sometimes wish I didn't sell it, but it was the best sounding house deposit any one could have asked for!









Sorry for the poor quality of the pics. When I get a chance I'll redo them so they're a bit clearer. Look out for it if you're in the Sutho Shire - that's where she ended up....

108db! hope the cops never heard you??

So you sold off your mods? I de-modded my Mazda before trading it in, obviously didn't get all my money back & best keep conservative for the dealer. Though I had to give up my wheels, dealer wanted those part of my trade.

While we're reminiscing, here's my contribution...

modded:


stock

Yeah Exhaust was crazy! Was lucky with the cops cos the car didn't
look like a skyline or supra or VL Turbo/Commodorre....they would
hear the noise but not really know which car it was coming from...
and seeing my car they would be....nah probs not him...LOL!

Mates hated sitting in the back seat cos of how loud it was. Their voices resonated in the back when i was revving up.
Car alarms would start in car parks that i was even driving past...i didn't need to be in them! lol!
Monash University car park was fun....many many modded cars with
aftermarket alarms that are quite sensitive. One day on the way into uni
i started 16 car alarms just going up to the second lvl of a multi
story carpark!

Haven't sold the mods yet...
Getting them organized to start selling this week some time
Dealer said to take off all the mods cos it not gonna add much
and i would get more money selling separately.
I was actually quite lucky with my trade in cos when i bought the car i bought it something like 4-5k under market value. So when i traded it in
i actually made +$350 after 5 years of owning the car. I lost out on my tinted windows which means that i ended up getting back
the same as i paid for it!

Nice Mazda! Looks hot! i like The_Bandit's Ute too!
was looking at a R8 VX before deciding on the lancer!
Can't afford the petrol on a 8 atm though...!

both look good. never seen that done to a mazda before!

^ thought I'd differentiate from the pack! just put some eyelids & open mouth mesh grill, soo many 3's around now, lost its appeal from a few years ago.

The new 3 is so fugly CJ's have it beat!!

yes it is a Fugly car...
i have to agree on that billboy.

HAIL the HJ Galant, It was a great car in its Day! nice Deano...

+ it looks like some people have hijacked your thread with some of their old cars!
i think we should re-name your post to "Your Previous Car" to encourage this thread to grow...
Cheers.

Done and Done!
Thread Renamed!
Here's a pic of my old wheels in negative.

1996 Toyota Rav 4, 4 door in Black.

Man that car had been in so many accidents, ABS was broken, blah blah blah but i still miss it to this day.

It's one of those cars that is like a pet dog to you. Nobody else can touch it but with you, it's be the best thing in the world.

I miss that car til this day....

OH WELL I HAS A CJ LOLOLOL

had a mazda 3 SP23...
