My Sports car

Post Reply New Topic

Its a nissan 300zx twinturbo, painted in dodge viper blue pearl. everything on it cost me alot but it was so worth it. im still not finished yet.

Anyone else got a sports car? or have love for cars in general.

1984 Toyota Celica Supra. $1500. In my garage with the engine about to be pulled. If I get some cash, I'm thinking it'd be smart to get an Aristo 2JZ-GTE and keep my car auto and just put the newer Aristo trans on the Supra, as my A43DE has 250K on it anyway. Auto would be way cheaper to do, as I wouldn't need a custom bellhousing and a new clutch and all that, just new driveshaft. I could also do Lexus V8, again with an auto. The V8 seems an appealing swap (it's dirt cheap for the engine itself,) but I like the feel of I6s a lot, they rev nicely to me.



Don't mind the wipers being up. Oops.

But currently due to a variety of circumstances, I've not gotten any work done on the car at all. It sucks.

That's a nice car you've got. I also like the older cars.

I have a musclecar that I'm working on right now. It's a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with a 355 Chevy, TH200 4R transmission (yuk!), 3.23 gears, and a number of other touches. I set up the suspension for handling with polyurethane bushings, stiffer springs, a quick ratio steering box, tubular control arms (rear), and wider wheels and tires than stock. I also did all of the paint and body work on it myself, right down to modifying the front fenders to look stock but be able to run wider tires without rubbing. I did all of the work myself (except for actually assembling the engine since the machine shop did it cheaply enough that it wasn't worth the risk), and even took the body off the frame to change out the body mounts to polyurethane and give the car more stiffness. Sadly though, I will have to sell it soon since I can't afford to put gas in it. It will possibly be replaced by an old school Mini, if I can find one.
