yes i understand the difference.

and i understand that people are saying he should buy a new car, i personaly feel that his car is not the best platform for making a fast car, but i was trying to help answer his question rather then telling him to buy a new car.

Get rid of the sunbird. there really is no other choice.

If you insist on modifying your car the only thing I suggest this series of modifications.

1. Remove gas cap from sunbird

2. Discard all other parts

3. Buy real car (camaro, mustang, firebird, integra, dsm, grand national, etc)

4. Affix sunbird gascap to the new car

5. Profit

like me? I had a 93 Saturn SC1 when I started here. 100hp and a 18.1 quarter mile…

I’ve since moved on up to the mighty Prizm…a whole second faster and 115 ground-pounding horses…

I got the Prizm in December…

The junkyard of doom comment is pretty accurate though… that damn Corolla wagon is sitting there, waiting for someone to buy it… I’d just smash the thing and videotape it, but that car’s got a lot of history and I’d like to see someone use the parts from it.

it won’t. it’s rusty as hell.

but it runs well, and i’ve put about 400 miles on it since I brought it back from Jersey. if i could find a clean late 70s Corolla coupe, I’d keep the wagon for the engine + tranny.
