Buy the FD and swap it. But not a lsx, jz sr20 w/e else been done. Do a ka-t, it’ll be like the final frontier of rx7 swaps. It’ll be more unreliable than with the rotary (aka impressive!)

I’m going to busy working on my project car for a long time so I’m not looking to mod or swap anything.

I love it. A little bit lower mileage and I would be all over it for that price.

At that mileage or in general? If you can find one similar to that but with under 150k miles for 12k I’ll spot you a finders fee

In regards to Quattro Krant:

Don’t even bother giving this guy the satisfaction of a reaction anymore. Apparently his claim to fame is to be a total asshole, to be proud of it, and everyone on here seems to think its funny and expect it. Just do what I do and save your fingers from typing a reaction to please his scream for attention.

^^^I only slightly get the appeal of these

The “it’s cool to have an old outdated slow box” mentality is only good for Internet and parking lot meets.

Every normal person will think you drive an old slow shitty box with 200k miles.

After I get one I’ll let you know if f the hype is right. I figure I’d have to own one to know for sure.

Its hard to say how much hype came from the 190e EVO and how much from the street car.

I understand the first part of what you said, but personally I wouldn’t care what any normal person thought about what I was driving.

Alright, I was delayed for about a month getting back and now all the cars I was looking at are already sold. So again, if anyone finds anything on my list please send it my way. Also, I’d love to find a manual trans 4runner on top of whatever toy car I buy so if anyone sees an ad for that post it up here as well.

Thanks.

I’ve got 3 4Runner sticks, TRD editions. I’ve got 1 R34 Skyline, 5 FDs so you can have the color that matches your eyes or whatever you want, and 30 E30 M3’s with all of them having under 10,000 miles each. The 4Runners are about $500 each, the R34 I’ll let you have for $5000, the FD’s are $1200, and the E30 M3s are $2995 to $3000.

I found quite a few. All of them were sold before I could move on them or they required me to view and purchase in person. I just got back in the country last night (nearly a month late) so it hampered my search a bit. If you don’t like my thread there are hundreds of others on this site to keep you occupied. I’m not forcing anyone to help me out, i’m simply posting my search for enthusiast cars in an enthusiast car forum.

Ps. Suck my dick

I run across the MR2 (Mostly N/A, but some Turbo’s too…) quite a bit, I’ll shoot you a PM if I find one that seems like it would be a good fit for you. Would you consider an N/A? They are a lot of fun, and the swap could always be done at a later date…
