Yeah we are already looking for front clips. I am kinda lame and don't want to cut up a straight car.

You would think it wouldn't be hard to find an S13 with a crooked chassis. I bet I could throw a rock at the nearest trailer park and turn up four. Oddly, a bunch of the local ones on Kijiji have at least one missing front fender. WTF is up with that?

I keep finding them so mangled up the frame rails are crooked in the engine bay. I want one that's just been totaled in the rear. On the other hand, I think I found a R32 front for a good price. Waiting to hear back from the guy. I am not spending more than $200 for a GTR front with no engine or fenders though, that's for drat sure.

Having never driven one, I can assume from this evidence that they understeer pretty bad when stock and amateur drifters slide along their parents' gated community forecourt before wimping off the throttle, snapping back to grip and then target-fixating directly into a curb or fire hydrant?

The Mustang is currently out of gas so it's holding the pavement from floating away. The 'vert getting some sun.  The engine bay.  A computer drawn mockup of what it could look like.  My hatch came wobbling in today. I now have a S13 'vert, hatch, and coupe.    Signs of a FMIC.  Manual transmission swap.  The interior smells like an animal moved in.  Oh it has stickers.  The rare blue interior. I've never seen a FULL blue interior before.. And I still haven't! The car has a tan dash that was painted black.  FREE spiders.  So much rust.

I like how everyone is completely unable to detect internet sarcasm. I am jealous of the lack of rust but not enough to deal with southern weather or southerners for it.

Ever since I met this dude who scraps cars I've seen how you can make money shipping cars up north. Looking at the cars on this forum really makes me appreciate no salted roads.

There's a big difference between flat-land rednecks, swamp people, and mountain folk.

She's a lifetime southerner, just like me, but she is from the plains of south Georgia. Mountain folks might as well speak a different language.

Central FL on down is basically populated by transplants from the north, you don't run into any real "southern" folk until you go into rural areas or north around the Gainsville and into the pan handle near Georgia. I've lived in Tampa bay for 20 years and never met a person that lives here with a southern accent.

My mom's side of the family are literal moonshine running hillbillies. They speak a very specific form of jibberish I can almost understand. Also: They are well stocked for when Obama's black panther army comes for them.

kastein posted:I like how everyone is completely unable to detect internet sarcasm. That's funny - that's exactly how I feel about the north, except there isn't even the lack of rust going for it.  Admittedly, Texas summers can suck, but I absolutely hate, hate, hate cold. And we seem to attract Yankees for some reason, who just can't wait to turn here into just as much of a shithole as wherever they ran away from...

Welp, too rusty. Time to scrap it. A miserable pile of interior.  Not pictured: A tree frog and three cockroaches.  USDM front clip swap!!   More of the interior. I am hoping to sell all this to good homes.   Flipped the rear over to release the subframe.     Stripped front. I am going to rebuild it for display purposes when I get the right parts.  Only the best.  Worth about $10 with today's scrap prices.   And we found out the whole rear was practically all Bondo. The paint was shot directly over the old stuff with no prep at all. Super thick too.   BONUS VIDEO: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10202353108090233&set=vb.1268264945&type=2&theater

In the coastal plain we used to refer to that as the "furniture dealer" accent. And speaking of NC and the coastal plain, how bout that hoi toider accent down east? That one's at least a little bit easier to figure out because there's less gibberish.

Kicking around the idea of putting a Modular 4V in my S13 coupe, but the Chevy 5.3 is just so drat cheap. They are even cheaper than 302 Windsors for some bizarre reason.

The 5.3 is a much better engine anyway, IMO. More power even in stock trim, swallows boost like it's candy. I'd guess the LSx is cheaper simply because they're so plentiful - the 302W hasn't been sold in a USDM vehicle since the... mid to late 90s? randomidiot fucked around with this message at 09:39 on Nov 29, 2013 |

Explorers had the 302 until 2001, and that's the cheapest and best source. 5.0HOs are too long in the tooth and overpriced.
