as soon as mine gets some new shoes and an alignment you'll be able to find me at any given local auto-x dialing in my suspension

what do you want to do with the car?

drag? RB25 it

autoX SR it.

replace the suspension w/ purpose.

That should be a fun car, I can't see a fox being more enjoyable then the 240. I am scewed but its for a reason

more so drag . but i cant see why i couldnt run low boost with a quick sus. and tire change and drift it .. im not much of an autox'r . ..

as of now its getting a 2.4l sohc turbo .. im going against the grain... why should i spend 4000 to downgrade my displacement ? that money can go into one of the 3 2.4l i have sitting in the garage and be made just as potent for dragn' ..

rhd conversion is underway also ..
