i was at the shops getting some bread.. went back to the car wouldnt start.. i thought damm no clicks or cranks maybe starter motor is dead? called my brother to come down.
found out what the problem was.. the fusebox =p the orange fuse got loose (becuase i havent covered the box yet.. still need to tidy interior) and got the car working.
told my brother no probs i fixed it
fun begins:: we got to a set of lights he had to change to my lane.. tafe students parked on the left anyways he was being smart and rev it  i knew he was holding it at 3K or so ready to launch
i did the same but only around 2.5K mark green light we both let go neck to neck launch and by the time i hit 2nd gear his front side of the car was gone (ae82 = 7700RPM, tarago 5800RPM)
..cheeky old bastard

I asked that question because I couldn't understand the point in the story.
I remember something funny I read ages ago, some guy was posting his kills with his tarago he had turbo charged. Apparently was a real sleeper.
RWD? Most likely I think.

Dunno. Check the plate. Most likely a 2Litre of some type.
Oh yea, and what made those stories I read even funnier was the fact it was his mum's tarago and she didn't know he went and got it turbo'ed.
