Always a tragedy to see a life taken so young...

Rolley was talking about the car not the driver. One less auto ND in the world. It was built the same day as my ND too ... only two numbers apart in the VIN.

Wow, doesn’t really look too bad, must have damaged the frame etc undernesth along with the airbags going off.

Brightside - fantastic source of a large number of un-damaged bits.

Auto? Ad says it's a manual ... :frown:

Shifter looks like a manual as well.

I did mean the car... sorry for the confusion.
Wonder if the seats will fit the NA :wink:

Interesting to see how the pyro bonnet actuators go off too. They do lift it quite a bit to catch pedestrians. (not suggesting they hit a pedestrian)

Perhaps we need to let the Russian insurance scammers know about the active bonnet?

Whoops. I was looking at the photos using my phone and couldn't zoom in. Clearly I need to make an appointment with my optometrist. And read the fine print. :oops:

So...... Who's buying this to do a ND driveline transplant into their NA/B/C? :mrgreen:

Not really, it puts out similar numbers to our SE's in factory trim with a LOT less dirveline weight..... a nice boost for a non-turbo NA/B. :wink:

EDIT: Oops, forgot this was a 1.5L verson...... carry-on folks.

I can just imagine this driveline in an NA6 with NA6 brakes, NA6 diff, 13x5" Corolla wheels, 165/75 Supercats, lowered, maybe the ND seats, and with a Lightyear fastback! Best Ecomodder ever! Slowish, but not slow.
