It's a slightly longer 13B-REW, more or less. The two-rotor models literally are (it's slightly different from the RX-7 version.)
Not any worse than an FD.
...
So, yeah, hell incarnate.

Duncan Imports only wants $14K for their completely stock yellow two-rotor model:

I like that blue, slightly modded 3-rotor one better, though. Except for the steering wheel. What happened to all the functions embedded in the wheel when that Momo was installed?

Corvette's have a similar system in the 80s before they put in a German transmission with straight gears. Metal as hell. For some reason the overdrive in the corvette only works in 2 -4. It is also a lame button not another stick.

Common misconception that; that fun is relaxing. If it is, you're not doing it right.


This clean AU$1200 Prelude popped up yesterday and seems like a nice deal, although the fact it's still available today makes me a little bit suspicious. OTOH, the school I work at (which looks to be just up the street from him, judging by the background) has an automotive program and could probably put it up on the lift and take a good look at it for a very reasonable fee...

I've got Lexus on the mind buuuuttt the Lexus SC 300/400 is fairly close proportion-wise and is most definitely not a money pit.

I know my 82 Tercel had A/C that was added by the dealer, I'd have to imagine that it would be something you most certainly could add to this Civic. Being that it has those seats that means it's the low-spec standard version which should mean that it doesn't have factory A/C.

Too much work to put a/c in that car, it would make a good race car tho.

Wheeler Dealers is such a good show. Granted I generally skip the buying/selling portions to watch Edd rebuild poo poo, but it's refreshing to see a mechanic show that doesn't involve fat bearded guys yelling at each other or "this car could break the shop if we don't get it done in two days."

My wife and I discovered the show when we got Playstation vue and got a free trial upgrade to their top teir package a few months ago. Edd is fantastic about explaining poo poo and what does what and how it functions. He was working on a choke on something and my wife asks what a choke does, and before I could answer, Edd explains it. Our free trial ended a week or so back, and now I'm paying functionally $15/month more just for velocity. My wife insisted because she couldn't live without Wheeler Dealers. Great show for two people who love cars but have never done anything more difficult than brakes, fluids, and bolt on poo poo like alternators. Sure makes us want to learn (and wrench) more.

Welcome to Big 70s American Iron plus One Mustang II, a Pacer, and a Truck, where everything is 6500 or less and runs. I swear it feels like all of south Florida collectively dumped all their huge 70s cars all at once.



I'm really keen on finding more information on this one, condition is 'fair' and the pictures are poo poo but a fuckin' LTD wagon with a (I think?) 460. If it runs price is def. right. Might text the person tomorrow and see. If any of you want it by all means jump up on it. I've got a timing belt and rear main seal to replace in my sc300 :negative:




























I've seen this one personally, the guy drove it to Cars and Coffee. It's a very nice original car as described.
