Whoa, talk about a lurker... long time no see!

Shame that finding a decently wide set of magnesium wheels these days is such a hard thing to do... No offense intended sir, and this may stem from my relative inexperience with the S13, but weren't they only something like 2750 lbs with the iron block KA that came in those here? Would think...

I still say this should be mandatory for driver education. Look at how Finland treats driver education. I promise you, their CHILDREN are at least as good of driver as most any one of us on here. Why? Because they teach them car control (what causes a loss of control, as well as how to regain...

I'd be kinda sad if you didn't have a picture of that car in the calendar, I like the style man. :)

Poodles, if I were gonna do another Miata, it would be an NB, probably 2001 or later. Not counting it out, as another car is still 2-3 years out, depending on a few factors. IF I were gonna lean toward Miata, I would probably be more interested in just building the 7 replica, like a Westfield...

So... buy RX8 engines then? Or way too different to be feasible? I toyed with the idea of a Renesis in a 7 replica...

"Gotta pay to play", keep that phrase in mind when you eventually get a Supra. There are few cars that is more true about...

Strip the interior? Aww man... that's too bad. Just leave it in a condition you can get back to having a daily if you want. Gutted cars are so annoying to drive day to day. Just take a really big crap and get a jockey to drive it for you. Hell, I think my being ~120lbs is half the reason I've...

There was another member on here doing the Lemons thing, or possibly the Grassroots $20xx challenge, I forget which. Either way, his car turned out pretty nicely. Good luck, and feel free to post up progress along the way! :)

I have yet to see one with more than a little wear on the left side driver seat bolster, or a tasteless paint job. Other than that, they seem REALLY well built. I'd expect that out of an 80k car though... You'd really take the S2000 over the NSX given the chance? Not disagreeing, I've...

$2300 a piece... I'd suggest shopping around sir. Unless that comes with your manifolds, fuel system, and every nut, bolt, and gasket needed to do the conversion, you'd be out of your mind to pay that much for a TD06. Kinda old technology at this point... That would be like paying $1500 for a CT26.

That's good you got the hardtop, because 4 seat convertibles are for girls. Wanna talk about chassis flex...

And have fun doing that gentlemen. ;) How much HP do the Texas Mile cars tend to have? 1200+?

Eh, fair enough I suppose. I've never been upset by people picking on my old car though. Hell, my brother continually calls it a Daytona. :p Always wanted to run one to be honest, there are supposedly a couple really quick ones around here, but we've never been at the same place at the same...

^Who said he had to use just ONE CT? ;) :D DO IT. Actually, then you probably wouldn't be able to spool them quick enough and you'd go slower than with just one... Lot of power to be made in that head still, right?

That Neon is pretty damned quick. Too bad it's still a Neon... Looks like a good highway for Harry Potter to hide on and hand out some magical pink slips to you guys. ;)

Man, you might be older than Toyota itself! That is awesome... :p Good idea. Targa off cruising, it's easier to obey traffic laws, car wobbles a bit more, and the wind gets worse the faster you go, so... Plus, my speedo is broken, so I tend to drive on the slow side, I suspect. At least...

That's where the aftermarket comes in Chello... you rotards have a HUGE following from what I've seen, and there are some pretty good vendors out there to support your hobby, at least here in the States. :)

These are the things I am more concerned with. The Supra is going to be the highway/power monster, I want something to complement that car though, that has more of a focus on handling. Could always do a Miata, but in this elevation, you NEED a few hundred horse to even have fun. Plus, I'd never...

They USED to turbo F1 cars... then they lost their balls in the early 90's when the safety nannies came along... Hell, racing in general was absolutely bonkers in the late 80's. Makes me wonder where we would be if not for all the "safety" objections to the progression of speed and performance.
