I know a lady that registered her '86 Cutlass as an '89 Hyundai Excel. I dont know what the issue was but the Excel was in her backyard and the Cutlass was on the road and the registration was for the Excel.

Yeah its so much work and legal mumbo jumbo.

Sad part is that its probably just as safe in a crash as anything else built in that era.

As long as it gets him to the next car show, that’s all that matters. Neither massive boost leaks or a dead diff can stop the mass collection of trophies from local car shows.

Research jdm gc8 bumper beams and you may rethink that statement :rofl

I don’t get it either. At all.

There is nothing thin or cheesy on an R32. I have seen some jdm bumper beams that are basically a thin broom handle sized hollow steel bar, is that what yours is like?

Everyone has opinion. But, even after my hatred, I think the 3/S is sexy. Gorgeous lines.

Skyline looks like a 240SX to me.

Very similar, yes. They weigh 5-7 lbs and they flex quite easily.

USDM beams are 40lbs a piece.

Big differences… the R32 isn’t a Land Ark and responds well to tuning.
