    Well...... if you also gave me a stock of money to use on my stock nissan.....


    but she ain't no fwd honda.

    I mean, mine's just about on fire as I drive down the road, and not in a good way. Stock whp is like 125 or something, and I doubt I'm close to that given the condition of my drivetrain. But tuned LS1's and such find their way into the chassis I have.

    So one day, when I have money.

    *edit* just for funsies....

    The holden allegedly has a skyline motor

    Chassis after mine, in the same series.... obviously not stock. Toyota motor, or whatever jz is.

    So stock, find me a car that can do a wheelie.... there isn't a nissan wheelie culture or anything, it would usually be avoided..... but plenty CAN....

    What year is that vette? The back end looks entirely alien to me.

    RooR, what model nissan? If you already said I must have missed it.

    Mine?

    It's an s13 240sx.

    it's a work in progress. That is to say, a lot of work over a long period of progress, from an essentially shot motor (not so shot that WOT isn't fun) to needing body work all around.

    But I love her, she's comming along. Generally a slow/on the side budget project as well as a daily. For one thing, I'm determined to prove that you can do a full body overhaul with OUT a thousand dollars in factory weatherstripping and a three thousand dollar paint job.... going the rustoleum, dumpster carpet, and silicone caulk route. and when I get my hands on a good motor it will replace this one, which will be rebuilt and either turboed or given some N/A juice, or if I stumble onto one, it will be upgraded directly to an SR (wish I could say RB, but I know it's generally a royal pain in EVERY last way, just about nothing fits)

    So right now, rice-burning heap :D

    I really have no idea. I'm guessing 60-80,000.

    Ewww....

    maybe if it was a more reserved colour, it would look okay. It's not a ferarri.... How about brown, mauve or eggshell?

    Strange, I guess I never really paid any attention to the back end of those.

    This is identical to my car, except I don't have an exhaust and my fog lights aren't yellow (yet)

    Nice car, hope you have fun with it.

    I also hope that whoever wrote that that's "drifting" dies by fire.

    thanks.

    and the whole point of the symmetrical AWD is so that it doesn't drift.
