Don't tell me you address, otherwise it might get swapped for a silver coupe overnight. >
But VERY nice! You are a lucky man!
And ofcourse we expect MORE pics!

[oldskull]

Thanks

Yeah it is nice car I must say that . Han take a good care of the car. The car just got small problem. The timing of the engine a bit high sometime. But when drive above 50 km/h you dont feel it. Anyway i should drive this car till next year if the problem still show I will bring back to Han. He will look again.
He know the problem and hope that cause of the car never started about 7 years. Anyway I really happy with it. Tomorrow I am going to clean inside the car and take more pics

Allrighty! So you finally got to pick her up huh!

Man you're one lucky son of a bitch, you probably got one of the nicest looking hachis in NL

The car is bound to have some troubles after standing still for 7 years. Hope Han did the full service thing. Fresh fluids are a must if you want to keep a healthy. You should even think about doing atleast an oil and filter change in a month or so even if it has fresh oil now. After 7 years there will be alot of dirt stuck in the engine that will come loose once you start driving her. That oil could get dirty again very quickly..

Drive her for a few days and you have a good chance things will clear up quickly enough though, do take it easy on her especially with the weather these days, you'll probably spin her at one point or another so be carefull out there.

check all rubber parts for disintegration , also replace cooling fluid, and replace those tires also, its your head on the line

btw:

It looks like a real nice one on the picture it's a shame that i've never seen the car altough it wasn't far of where i live , enjoy and take care of it.

Thanks for the suggestions. That what I want seems I am totally newbie on Hachi world. Yeah I am going to replace the oil after one month. Han told me he did change new oil and distribution belt also new, few new gaskets too. I think he changed the exhaust too, its stock but I would love it seems the other one are rust as hell He did the services with toyota guy (I met him when I dicide to buy the car)

Yesterday when riding to home after pick up the car, there are lots of snow around... first experiance for me the rear wheels spinning and i feel rear car a bit losing control. So I must take a good care with this car during this weather.

I am planning to change the wheels, maybe 14" Konig Rewinds. I just want to know did I need to low the car a bit? Before that I need you guys to know the car not for race its just a daily drive car

Damn beauty man

Take good car of her and yourself. That is be really carefull when driving. "Rear loose control"? That s the idea of drifting, but you have to be very very carefull in the begging.

Its practice that make good drivers, not talent. Always remember that. Start from simple things, simple turns you drive everyday on your way home.

Set of new wheels would be nice, just make sure everything stock work good before you start spending to aftermarket parts.

Lowering? Yes, even from a daily driver, just dont overeact. No need for coiover -6 mm for you I guees. Get 4 yellow Koni's and 4 Eibach (or other) spings for about 3,5 mm lowering :wink:
