BA - Tasha's 2.0L V6 Auto - Import

**Posted:** Sat Jul 02, 2005 7:26 pm

Yup I did it, I pursuaded Tasha to buy an import 2.0L V6, still not sure about whether or not its a Type R. (It doesnt have the sticker in the door).

I took it out for a spin this avo and it dont half shift, the auto gearbox is great, especially in sport mode.

I will hopefully be bringing it to a Drag day later in year to see what she can do ... hehe :twisted:

Pics and stats to follow :d

Not looking forward to being beaten on the strip :lol:

Maybe dyno it and see what the real power is - then you'll know whats going on a bit more.

Good buy :wink:

Nice one Dan! - so is this two in the family now?

If the right Type R came up at the right price, I'd be interested too - as a 'run-around'!

its not too bad but the scratches are deep and into the metal

**Posted:** Sun Jul 03, 2005 11:51 pm

Oooooh, sympathy on the last one chap, Meanie got dinged (my fault :oops:

) there, only had her 2 months at the time, £200 to fix too

:(:(:(

Got a scratch like that too, always had it actually

:D

Nice car though...despite the dings and scratches.

**Posted:** Mon Jul 04, 2005 10:15 pm

Looks good Dan, shame about the steering wheel! :pukeright:

And you've got a speedo thats been changed to 180mph, original mats still, like the Lantis go faster stripe! Not to sure about the automatic badge on the back.

What has happened to your rear fog? it should be white?! Any pics of the engine?

Will Tasha be wanting a Type R t shirt then? :lol:

:wink:

**Posted:** Mon Jul 04, 2005 10:21 pm

isn't the speedo a KMH one that's been reused and converted for MPH?

**Posted:** Mon Jul 04, 2005 11:37 pm

Cheers for comments

A few people have said take the Auto badge off.... havent decided yet.. it gives the appearance that it will be slow ... hehe

Rear fog is white

the previous owner put a red screen inside it :P .. will get round to changing bulb and removing, well putting it on mine maybe lol... dont tell Tasha

Engine pics will follow, prob ina week or so as I am in process of moving house, Friday to be exact, and the other parties are being complete assssholes so its been a rough few days/Weeks/months.

Not too sure what happened with speedo :S dunno if it was kmph thats been changed or completely swapped... big sticker at bottom stating MPH :S

Ohh and Andy I dunno how big a Starbucks Venti cup is so I dont know if its any use or not, its cool tho lmao you pull it back and it spins 180 and slide it back and the cupholders have dissappeared <<< spelling :S 2 x s or 2 x p ???

0-60 times to follow ina few weeks
speedo check with sat nav to follow also
0-100 may well follow

private road needed :P

ohh by the way it does 100 at less than 4000RPM - not that I have actually done that speed

**Posted:** Tue Jul 05, 2005 12:25 pm

Hey cool Dan,

dealer? importer?

**Posted:** Tue Jul 05, 2005 11:49 pm

From this site I believe, but the post seems to have disappeared?! Or maybe I was imagining things!

**Posted:** Sun Sep 11, 2005 10:48 pm

the install looks good mate but are the 6x9's screwed straight into the door cards? isnt the sound ruined due to the door car being flimbsy?

**Posted:** Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:26 pm

cheers mate - at the moment they are screwed through the door card right through the metal... and on is falling off... due to previous owner not putting holes in right place.. have a new door tho so will sort it then .. but it doesnt really distort, well wont when I have finished.

**Posted:** Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:29 pm

o cheers i was thinkin of doing the same a while back but didnt really think it would work out, thanks ill giv it a try to.

**Posted:** Fri Aug 04, 2006 9:12 am

well it's been a while since Ligi's thread was updated and seeing as Dan did all the hard work of uploading the original pics thought i'd carry on here instead of starting again....

havent done any major work on her other than change the door:

[img]http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j130/Topaz_Tasha/Door%20Change/Image521.jpg[/img]

which meant her go faster stripe was incomplete:

[img]http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j130/Topaz_Tasha/Door%20Change/Image527.jpg[/img]

had a mad moment of thinking to get her something like this:

[img]http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j130/Topaz_Tasha/Vinyls/newgraphics2.jpg[/img]

but thought against it and had some new ones cut same as originals at JAE this year so now Ligi has a new set of go faster stripes

[img]http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j130/Topaz_Tasha/Vinyls/Image850.jpg[/img]

not really planning on doing anything else - she needs some major mechanical repairs done but other wise i'm keeping her original.... including the automatic badge :P

will put the new wheels on eventually... when i'm not so worried about kerbing them

**Posted:** Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:34 am

Good one Tasha - nothing wrong with an original car :thumbleft:

Hope you can keep it nice and tidy for good long while

Mark

**Posted:** Fri Aug 04, 2006 10:34 am

**Posted:** Sat Aug 05, 2006 6:56 pm

**Posted:** Tue Aug 08, 2006 6:27 pm
