Well, as you all may know, I sold my 240SX. Like the rest of you, and lots of posers out there, I truly fell in love with this car. However, funds keep me from buying the 180SX I was aiming for.
Tonight I ordered an Austin Mini. :partyman:
Reason? The day I sold my car, I raced my dad (1976 Austin Mini, 1275cc engine, 75HP), and he smoked my ricer ass. I’m looking for a 1275, 1330, 1440, or turbo (1988 is when they made a 94HP Turbo Mini).
When I get this car, I plan on modding a bit more, selling, purchasing another Mini, and a 180SX.
Hopefully all goes well! I’ll be around.
Jeff :drinkers:

The Vtec swap is a common dream in England… 0-60 in like 5.2 secs or something crazy like that… a lot of work and fabrication involved though.
