Ahh so you know then Why would you ever want to stop that feeling :p

Yep I had my 200sx for 9 months and spent £3500 keeping it on the road and running properly, nothing can replace the smile when the loud pedal worked and I could get traction but I would love to have that along with some form of reliability as well lol

I\'ve been in (and been priviledged to drive) Andy Papercup\'s Dyno Torque-converted V8 FD, and it\'s incredible. I would love one, no argument. But only if I had a rotary one as well

If I could afford 2 cars I would do it but I have to just have the one toy for now lol

Ooh was that vid clip taken just outside Horsham? Not that it really makes any differrence to anything, just that i know that road :rollin

Yeah, there\'s a really long clip I never uploaded along the humps on the Guildford Roman road (you know the bit) where the G-force meant the camera was all over the place. Funny, but not especially crucial viewing :Giggle

[Ada7]

I know where you mean. You can loose other cars in the dips so makes overtaking fun. :p

Adam

[Nik da Greek]

probably why it\'s soild white lines and they keep dropping the speed limit every bloody year, then :mad:. I think I actually left planetary orbit on my old \'Blade along there once. Certainly the landing was a bit alarming :2eek

[Ada7]

I bet it was. I\'m not stupid enough to actually do any overtaking along there in a car. Would just be my luck to meet something BIG coming the other way :o

RX Motors have a BRAND NEW bare shell for sale, never had a thing on it. Don\'t tell him about the LS1 plan though as he won\'t sell it to you lol.

Thanks for the heads up, don\'t worry i\'ll keep quiet lol

[dudsey]

If you are going v8 go LS3 or LS6.

[Recoy2k]

If you are going v8 go LS3 or LS6.

Any particular reason for that? Was looking at the LS1\'s but once I have the shell I will do some more research on the exact engine that I will put in it, will hopefully be buying a shell this weekend

[dudsey]

They are easier to get hold of and are the latest derivation. A mate has a shell if you don\'t manage to get one.

[Recoy2k]

Ok cool thanks for the advice, I have a shell sorted now, so looking a bit further into engines, have been researching the Lexus 4.0l V8 which seems like a viable option

[FD Dave]
