pandamonium Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Just acquired this!I also acquired almost enough spares to build another car! Engine, doors, seats, wing, grille, carpets, etc etc. Poor Mazda had to carry all the bits home! Thanks to Torsten1001! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yeah, wheel trims were pants. Torsten, you'll get over it. I'm sure something new is on the Horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogweasel Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Ace work!I hope it's as unpleasant to travel in as it is to look at. Love the economy swingometer. What powers it along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 The economy meter is ULTIMATE WIN!Yes, it is almost as terrible as the Horizon to drive, but at least it has a stereo.It is the 1300GL, but I have a spare 1500 engine too that has only covered 5000 miles.

pogweasel Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The economy meter has no numbers on it, so it's totally irrelevant!It could be ranging between 'quite bad' and 'abysmal' for all you know (and I suspect that's not far from the truth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredTransit Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 So what is it based on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 It isn't based on anything as far as I know. 100% LADA TECHNOLOGYEpic shite, I haven't seen one of these on the road for the best part of a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yeah these are super rare now arent they. Quite a neat looking little machine actually, I could put up with one of those for a while I think. Will you be trying a few different wheel trims/ring combos on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I remember some reference to porsche with these things too. Maybe they bought the tooling to the ashtray out the early 924 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 defo not the ashtray, that is a momument to seriously lazy design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandamonium Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yes, the ashtray and in fact all the interior plastics seem like an afterthought - like a kitcar. The glovebox came off in my hand!!!It was the engine that had Porsche backing AFAIK, and produces a heady 65bhp and 68lb/ft of torque @ 3000rpm.0 - 60 is is 16 seconds!

Milford Cubicle Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I've just been reading about Samaras, apparently you could get them with 130-180bhp twin-rotor engines in Russia!
