For $1500 the car would probably rust away before the engine could go in.

You can’t bring in S13’s from the US because of the auto seatbelts. You can bring in the 'verts though. Some Quebecer on NICO brought in a 'vert.

> Hahahah, gas mileage doesn’t change as the needle drops. LOL It’s the calibration of the guage. Ever notice how most cars when filled up, sit at full for 100kms? Then slowly goes down, and drops like a stone after half? That’s the way manufacturers calibrate the guage to work. Car and Driver had an article a few years back where people were complaining about a certain GM car and it having shitty mileage. They changed the fuel guage calibration and complaints went away. The cars still used the same amount of gas, but people are so dumb they think it gets better mileage this way.
uhh,exept for that beautiful aroma of gasoline… that happens when the gas guage hits 1/2 tank, and stays till i refill it.dink
