Hey, a Hachi in Spain!!!!

You bought it in Portugal??

As far as I know there is almost NO HACHIS in spain, toyota only settled in spain in the 90's...

Upon some investigation: ALL JAPANESE BRANDS settled in spain only in the mid 80's. This was because of General Franco's policy on imported goods. Basicaly there are a lot of italian brands in spain (beacuse of the relationship beetwen Franco and Mussolini) and even Fiat used to be Seat in Spain.

Little history here... sorry for boring you :wink:

The one i have was bought in swezeland by a spanish emigrant living there.

I am the 3rd owner and i think it will not know anyone more!!

as fas as I know there is less than 10 hachis in spain and almost all came from portugal

I´ve read about Abe before, he lives in my same state indeed, but he sold his hachi about a year ago.

Where are you located?

I travel to Spain all the time Wave

Wellcome!

leon205gti · 11-26-2007, 03:02 PM

Thanks to all, i feel like at home. Im in Ourense city, on Galicia state, just on the northern border with Portugal, thats also why i would like to know portugal guys too, cause i could travel to them to make bussyness or for meetings as here in spain i would have to wait for life for a hachi meeting!!

Jonny where are you? I can also speak a bit of portugese but i think inglish is better for respect other people.

Cheers

There are a lot of guys from oporto here (like me)... you´re welcome!

Switzerland? Then you should have the "underpowered" one... just kidding. Thumbs up!

When you travel here, dont bring your hachi, instead bring a truck full of cheap 98 ron gas! We will apreciate. Confused

Thanks mate, i think the other day i could see a catalizer on the end of the exhoust manifold. My engine cames with afm and at the moment it is stock appart from a kn air filter and an hks fcon (bought second hand on ebay)

the previous owner told me they have rebuilt engine about 5 years ago and i change the clutch about a couple of months ago.

It runs ok but suspension is terrible. I would like to hear from you what would be the best option to go for in relation quality-price. I m going to run on twisted roads like touge more than drift on traks.

All advices are much appreciated.

Lipinhu, i dont have any problem about taking to you a couple of tins full of 98ron gas on my next travel to oporto. Smile

Cheers
