^  I love the look of FD's but hate how tiny they are inside. No love for people over 6'. I rode along in a friend's at an autocross with a helmet on and my spine was already compressed just sitting in it.

I like my Sonic hatchback, it might be worth having a look. The little turbo engine is decent and being a turbo engine you can always get more power pretty easily if you want it. 32mpg driving like an rear end in a top hat (in winter), too.

Those subarus get poo poo mileage for what you get IMO. You can almost get the same MPG in a first gen CTS-V.

I know it's probably been posted in the thread but now that I'm looking into garages/shop building even more I'm curious if you would mind sharing your budget and actual spent on the shop? I'd love to have something like that but I'm a bit worried about the costs involved.

Only use a hose if you have to flush it like 90 times to get all the rusty nasty poo poo out. There's still going to be some left in the block that you won't get during a drain and fill and have to run it through a few times to get it out. I had to do this on a junkyard engine I bought and it still never came out totally clean after flushing it 4-5 times. Afterwards I filled with distilled and coolant. It's not really feasible to flush it a billion times with distilled (for me at least).

leica posted:It doesn't take long if you're just flushing out old coolant. Took me a couple gallons and it was good. the spyder posted:(read: 20+ gallons of water ran through) This is what I was talking about. I'm not buying 20 gallons of distilled and dicking with it that way. Spyder is doing it how I would have. On a normal  flush aka drain and fill I would use distilled for sure. I never had much luck with the radiator flush stuff (block innards was the rusty area on mine, even after taking off the water pump and other poo poo when it was on the stand hand hosing out the water jackets around the cylinders) on that junkyard motor and tons of tap water, and multiple flushes so I just gave up.

Looks good. If you're painting them, cool. But beware if you powder coat you could gently caress up the heat treating and potentially make them weaker if you ever planned on tracking them or something. Something to keep in mind (that you probably already know).

I love this thread even if I'm not big on rotaries (suck it, RADL!). It's awesome seeing you bring back FD's. Always liked the look of them and more deserve to be on the road. Plus bonus Datsun content is just gravy.
