Anyone who drives a turbomini is obviously a sick puppy. They are antiestablishment pinko commies who refuse to conform to the ponycar norm. Someone should take away their membership to the NHRA. Minivans can never be cool or fast and they should stop trying. BTW- there’s a rust free one in a fenced in lot down here. Part of a bankrupcy deal. I’m hoping I can get into the auction. That’d be sweet. ---

Become? When everyone was rushing out to buy an EG hatch I swapped the motor in my neon. When all my friends bought 1200cc Harleys I bought a 78’ 750cc Yamaha. I’ve BEEN anti. I’m just taking that shit to the next level. Besides, since Z hacked up his, I feel obligated to bring one back to life. Karmic retribution and whatnot. ---

I like ANYTHING that isn’t supposed to be fast… but is 🙂 I’ve seen vids of a 10 second K car, I’m not sure which motor was in it, but I’d assume it was something like what you’ve got in your van now. ---

Yup, that K-car had a 2.5 turbo 8 valve motor in it, 4-core intercooler, and a large T4/T3 hybrid on it (I think he was using a T04E57, with a stg3/.63). Lotsa boost! ---
