I don’t know if it’s a big deal to make one thread for two cars, instead of one per car. I know what the rules say, but I’, just guessing it’s not a big deal unless you make multiple threads for on car. So here’s the 86.

pretty sweet how the forums are active. Yeah, I’ve got a couple tests this week, and my oil dipstick is blowing oil out onto the headers, so I’ve got to find a new oil catch can that lowers the crank pressures before I can drive and hit boost… unless I want to start a fire. ---

Oh yeah? we just had another one today.that’s when this oil fiasco occurred. I got to drive the other Green Integra. I was actually waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay impressed. Your cars stay flat and brake real well. Are you thinking of coming again? But yeah Jeff, I’ll give you a call sometime if I’m working on the car.

> [@GranMassaX](#): > > i care more about the 86 :nod Honestly X2. The 240, from the looks of it is already done right and can even be considered “done” at this point in time. The 86 is just badass, there is another member on here with one (RTtrack), now if only he got on with his build… Great car selection by the way :thumb ---

I also have a soft spot for the 86. My mechanics have had maybe 4-5 of those things. Everytime I would show up they seemed to have another one they were tinkering with. Good stuff. ---

Yep! They actually competed real serious in drifting events a few years back… No sponsors no towing the cars there, they just drove the 86’s to the events, beat the piss out of them and drove them back. Eric actually placed 8th at a major canadian event. Too bad that shit is way to expensive, I’d love to have seen them continue that. ---

yeah, I wish i could have the cars switch places. Here at school I have so many resources to work on cars, which I don’t have at home.
