Barina is for sale. Can be sold with Pink Slip.
Drivers window needs to be put back onto little track/rail thing, and rad fan is kicking in at just over 100 degrees so needs either new fan switch or thermostat... iunno

We're gonna manual convert it, turbo it, chuck on some semi slicks and take it up to the drags

They're going to do a TopGear and combine the two half and half?

NO
Just turbo, manual, V8 from a Holden Monaro, semi slicks! Gosh you guys are so unrealistic and ridiculous.
Oh and RWD converted.

Yes, I have purchased the barina.
The fact of the matter is that I don't have enough time anymore to do what I wanted to on the NX, and with it in pieces makes it just annoying in the front yard. One of my mates from tafe will be taking it on as a track car, and is paying me back exactly what I paid for it (including the timing chain and VRS kits).
The other issue is my triton is 3.5 years old and goes in for its 120,000km service on monday.
The barina will be my daily to and from work, which should save me a tonne in fuel money, while the triton will become a weekend warrior/workhorse. It'll also mean I'll be able to get a lot more out of the warranty on it, which finishes at 130K.
It will not be receiving a turbo, or manual OR RWD conversion (as fun as they'd all be). The idea is for it to cost me as little money as possible so I can save up, buy an FTO while finishing off the Triton. I've had a set of crawler gears sitting in my room since December last year, the only reason they haven't been installed is because I can't afford to have it off the road for more than a day, as alternative transport between home and work would take upwards of 2.5hrs.
I shall look after it, and it shall continue to be the mighty slug it was designed to be!

Just make sure you don't forget you are driving a barina instead of the triton if you see some mounds you want to drive over.

That'll probably be the biggest thing to remember. But if I do get stuck, I'm sure the loud pedal will work fine.

Doesnt have one of those. Just two pedals - one that slows it down and the other changes the direction of the wind around the car to push it forward a little bit
I think the hamster in the engine bay has arthritis.
