Hi guys, Just thought I would give you all an update on my car and what the current status is at the moment. The car is running and on the road, a few people off the forums have seen the car and ive been getting a lot of positive feedback. Im currently at 500km on the engine, running stock...

Has anyone with there 2.6 had there rocker cover crack?? I got a hair line fracture in mine today and its leaking oil :( But ive never had this issue before? Just wondering if its happend to other people or not?

Stoopid Tarago driver gave me a drag at the lights - 2 lanes into 1, who gets there first? Feeling up to a challenge, I pushed the power button and floored it. 70 KPH in first at 5,000 rpm, Mr Tarago got left behind. A bit of a shock after puttering around at a max of 2,500 since I got the car....

ok, so after taking my car to the mechanic on friday and expecting just a service/tune, i get a call telling me it has a cracked head, and its going to be close to $1800 to fix. so it got me thinking is it worth putting in a new engine. i can get a pretty cheap 2nd hand 4 banger from the wreckers...

I have an issue and couldn't really find a definitive answer for it, When I brake all is well until the car slows down to walking pace and then the brakes start squeaking. Is there any reason why they only do it while braking at slow speeds? The Pads were changed about 300kms ago and I never...

came across this today on the web... https://img236.imageshack.us/img236/7699/rearquartershotbx9.jpg thoughts?

Hey guys, Spotted a TR magna yesterday afternoon with what appeared to be the rear and rear 1/4 window venetians! I couldn't stop looking, did they come standard in any make/model? OR could they just be adapted from a VL or something similar? Not saying I like them but would that have been...

Found a nice lookin set, and will replace centre caps... dah :P Just wondering if au factory alloys would fit a 2nd gen magna? Any issues with rear wheel/front wheel drive?

Is it possible? What are we talking money wise (excluding the cost of the engine)? How much work would need to be done to the Mounts? Could you use a 2nd gen manual Gbox or auto 6cyl gbox? Possible complications?

Hello guys, What's the general consensus on a fair price for a 91 TR Elite? Car is in overall good order, seats & interior are perfect. Only thing not working is the power aerial, air con blows nice and cold and it runs well. Car has new front pads and rotors, struts about 2 months old. Motor...

Just got some suspension work done, which involved: 1. King lows rear, and king superlow fronts 2. KYB shocks all round 3. rear swaybar, camber bolts and alignment and wheel balancing. Car drives quite well, and suprisingly comfortable, however I think this might be part of the proble....

Hi to all :) I have a TR Magna 4CYL and done 215K.. Had a Engine Rebuild. I wanted to have Magna repaired instead of getting a new car - dont know why. I have few questions to ask if any one can help... I have upgraded seats to Original Howe Lather Trim and looks fabulous. I have managed to get...

Next question - was pondering the parents impending road trip up north in their new TS wagon, and thinking about the numerous TR/TS SE Magnas sitting at the self serve wreckers when i was last there. Apart from the obvious stuff like the steering wheel with the cruise buttons, and the control...

Hey all - any hot tips on decent speakers for the pair up in the top corners of the dash? Mums are rattling like a bastard and even hopeless for the am radio that features in her car lol I dont have the car to look myself, but want to take some up with me next time i visit and need the size to...

Just like the thread in 3rd gen. I'll start: Annoying squeak that has started in the last few days in the bottom corner of A-pillar. Big turning circle. My gas strut bolt for my wagon back has come off, its gonna snap soon. Lack of bottom end torque when accelerating from standing. The fact...
