Found a piazza that had been garaged for the past 17 years. i bought it off an 80 year old woman who hardly knew it existed in her back shed for $1000 AuD. its done 30,000Km and there is absolutely nothing at all that can be faulted, all original everything! ill try to post some pictures of this fine example of my favourite japanese experimental car

WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!
First thing you do is change the cam belt because if it has been sitting that long without running it will have a serious set in it and age will have affected it as well. It would be a bloody shame to have it die for lack of a $30.00 belt. It goes without saying a decent service will be needed as well but don't take even one chance on that belt. The 80,000Km rule only applies if in normal use.

Im most probably going to send it up for sale in the near future if there are any takers
I give you $1500 for her but i would have to come from melbourne to pick her up or organize a truck to send her down, cost on me.

While on the topic though, quick question if anyone else has found this problem; When breaking heavily, my front right wheel locks up everytime. now i previously thought that it was just a thing with my first piazza, however this one also has the same problem. i was wondering if anyone has this problem and whether you know whether its a weight dist. issue or whether my brakes just need some adjusting
And in response to the sale offer, im guessing ill put this one up in the next few months, ill keep ya posted! cheers

Fuck thats nice. What are you planning on selling it for, or more to the point WHY the car looks mint?
As for the brake locking thing, im guessing you still have the old, fucked tyres on it? Could be a number of things - poor tyres, tyre pressures, sticking front right caliper.

Bloody hell that's clean, beats restoring a 200000km one.. It's even got a battery bracket!
Did you replace the heater hoses behind the engine? If so where did you get them?
