	I've decided to sell the Caldina to fund the completion of the project I'm in the process of completing. 
 
A couple of updates: 
 
1/4 mile: 18.45s (WSID 16 Feb 05) 
Not blisteringly quick but is favourable compared with mid-late 80s small-mid size petrol cars like Colt, Pulsar, etc. 
 
Wakefield Racetrack: 1:22:95 with crap tyres & not a good lap in there. 
 
700km range of city driving @ $55. 
I have driven from Sydney to Brisbane on one tank of fuel (880km) 
 
1996 Caldina FZ 
 
Koni adjustable inserts (@ 80 000km): have about another 3/4 turn left after 65 000km (would have about that same distance left again) 
Rear disc brake conversion (Celica ST184) 
ABS 
dual airbags 
remote central locking 
immobiliser 
electric windows 
electric mirrors 
air con 
power steer 
Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar 
2.5" exhaust from turbo dump with 1 tiny (length) straight through muffler & 4" dumpy 
uprated ST184 Celica clutch (@ 90 000km) 
factory TZ rear spoiler 
Morette twin headlight conversion 
modified front bar 
rego until Nov 05 
factory roofracks 
oh yeah... a towbar too    
 
5 spd manual front wheel drive 
 
145 000km 
2.0L SOHC 2C-T turbo diesel (yes I know, but it isn't all that slow) 
sub 7L/100km highway economy (850+ km to 60L tank) 
approx 8L/100km city economy (approx 700km per tank) 
serviced religiously (oil every 5 000km, oil & air filters every 10 000km, fuel filter every 20 000km) Diesel engines don't like being neglected. 
timing belt changed at 100 000km 
New battery (710CCA   ) 12/8/05 
New front wheel bearings 20/7/05 
 
A list of contacts to get parts from will also be supplied.  
 
Price minus WRX front seats, 17" rims, ST205 front brakes, twin headlight conversion: $13 000 
 
Price as is: $17 000 
 
Deal for somewhere in between could also be worked out. 
 
Note that I'm keeping the numberplate. 
 
I have investigated the possibilties of doing a petrol 3S conversion & it is very easy with bolt in parts only & no fabrication required (a list of these with approx prices can be provided for anyone interested)
