Ahhh the MGB GT. Was going to suggest this. And you can put V8's in them.

Still a fan of the Datsun 2000 with something else in it ideas though.
When your wife wants a small British car with a big V8 in it, well...

I wouldn't own a car that was previously owned by someone who makes a stylistic choice like that. Nightshade and stickers are my limit.

While I get where you're coming from, he's detailed a huge list of replaced parts. He might just be an engineer.

And the original hatch still comes with it. I dunno, seems a little expensive to me but it's not like these cars are getting any cheaper.

Congrats on getting the car buttoned up again! Do you have anything that can datalog to make sure all the sensors are plugged in and undamaged?

Staying under 4K is going to be fun for a thousand miles...

Don't these idle at 3k? Just let the clutch out slowly, never go near the gas, and shift down only when going uphill. :v:

I'm really sorry you blew up the motor again. :( Even if they are poo poo aftermarket bearings 2000 miles is hardly anything, you should burn down their offices.

With their underpowered cars, the French and Spanish police admit that they have been unable to halt more than a few vehicles in the night convoys, which stick to the motorway network in France.

In vehicles topping 300 horsepower, the convoys easily outpace pursuing police cars and motorcycles.
The French police need to find some taxi drivers.

Liking the new thread title. I would've gone with something like "money goes in, no work comes out - a nonadiabatic adiabatic tale" myself.

Is it too late to change the thread title again?

It was a Mach 1. To my knowledge there has never been a true Mustang II or King Cobra thread in AI.

Holy poo poo that's way less than I thought. If you're patient you could definitely make some money on it. Seats and motor alone would get you that I'm sure. Wheels, top and assorted poo poo would most likely be all profit.

Hey guys, I bought back the S2000 and I got started parting it out. Strange thing, both of the front seats were filled with poisonous spiders.

Adiabatic February 2014 posted:

I'm feeling kind of weird, you guys. Here's a picture of some weird lump I found on my leg. Also I tried selling the rims and the guy who came to buy them shot me a few times but I think I'll be OK.
