Hi guys,
Im looking at upgrading my 100 to a 200 series cruiser
My budget only allows me to just afford 2007/8 diesel turbo vx
Ive done a bit of research and it seem early model 200 series had a problem with vaccum pump leaking oil through a poor seal and sixth gear not engaging until well over ...

Theres mud slinging at hampton this weekend if your keen

^To slow
Bit rear to take to track day too,when the brakes fade and you hit the barrier good luck finding a front end with no rust

100 series with 1HD-FTE
I can vouch for these awesome wagons

Seen 4x4 Hilux with no. plate BROLUX

Looks better in white

also lada niva one of best 4x4 ever made. Very hard to break and get stuck. Good value for money and very easy to modify. I want to buy one herr but all are in bad condition.
Um Lada one of the best 4x4 ever made is a joke.Seen one snap from suspension arm off road not even anything extreme,best ...

ya. My lancia done 218,100ish miles, dad owned since new in 1983. Very hard to own car back then, lots of rules and needed goverment approval to own non regular car. We look after alwayd. Never break down. Make me sad that new zealanders do not like thier cars, i am sorry forget word in english ...

Upside to this is you can park in a goods and services car park

Yer i got shafted by this guy few years back ended up costing me $700 to fix a manifold leak,more than double what he quoted me.
He reckons every stud broke so that added another $400??
Mr muffler across the road is way better,took it to him orginally but he was booked out and i wanted it done ...

The gas you mite save from carting less wieght around you would lose through evapouration when you take your fuel cap off every day lol

Kill all the people that live around western springs while your at it then
But thats not PC and thats the NZ we live in today

Cars racing in circles boring
And the i was here first theory,then you would have to give Maoris there land back aswell.
Could imagine what you all would be saying then.
Just my opinion

Landcruiser in low range will do it piece of piss,ive towed couple of truck one was a big Volvo hiab with 8.5 ton on back.It got stuck down a step driveway,the yota pulled it out easy as

Thanks fellas for the info
Still keen on the st185 over st205
That RC is nice but not willing to spend that sort of money on a celica
One im looking at isnt even wide body but im not fussed as long as its tidy.

What do you mean by this?
Im not buying one to race around the streets and do helis with the gate screaming its nuts off,Just after a nice condition st185 leave it standard and look after it

^Thanks for the advice but personally prefer st185s not gana be a daily just something to clean and drive in the weekends.

steer clear of anything with boy racer mods or bank on rebuilding the motor.
Ok,the one i know of is a standard 1990 with 130,000ks on the clock.
Ive got a general idea what to look for just wandering if st185s have any bad omens as i will be holding on to it for a while.
Its 3 hours drive away ...

Hey,
New on this site but had Yotas my whole driving life (Got 2 at the mo)
Been thinking of getting me a GT4 celica for a couple of months now
Couple of question about st185
Any known areas to look for rust?
Any engine/gearbox issues to look for?
Helpful advice appreciated
