That era is FF and V6 only. It's also boring and slow and likely to make it without issue which is no fun at all. We've done far better for $1000 cars in ABAI. What you need to win is a mystery mileage auction audi. That $300 lincoln Mark VIII would have been ace. $300 for a RWD IRS coupe, $400 for a 150 shot of nitrous. a big rear end spoiler, ready to roll.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Where the gently caress do you get $400 nitrous kits because that's about the size of the hole in our budget. There was a snowmobile wet kit on kijiji for $250 for the longest time, i can't seem to find it now. all you'd need is a bigger bottle and some more fuel line.

That's $400 american dollars, or roughly $18,000 canadian i think

As fast as those pullers degrade when you're a 300lb gorilla beatin on them, I always just borrow them from Canadian tire. Can't beat free. With the amount of work you're doing on these, will you ever be able to let them go? I'm out in BC scouting the route for you and here is my report: There is no greater threat to mankind than the rental RV. It is therefore my suggestion that all really vehicles be equipped with attack poles and lancers.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to work this into your route, but highway 6 from fauquier to lumby is a blast. speed limit of 80 with probably 50 signs suggesting 50 or 30, but what you can't see on the map is piles of elevation change, just a constant up and down and around corners and some opportunities to unload the suspension at the speed limit. tons and tons of motorcycles though, and i'd imagine mid june, hundreds of thousands of prius drivers in rental RVs doing 20 leaving finger imprints in the steering wheel every time they see an oncoming car or a cow in a field or a tree. I think it would be more fun west to east because a lot of the fun stuff seemed to be downhill in those areas, and there were a couple 7-10% grades that might claim the life of some apex seals traveling in the opposite direction. Coming in from the north to get there or leaving from there north is a big open 80 car ferry that's pretty neat, but really not worth the 180kph super highway with a 90kph speed from banff to the border. https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/50.6...2!4m1!5i2?hl=en

What insurance company are you with that still asks for an insurance inspection? That RX is loving awesome, the weight is really on the other teams now.

highway 6 is good for driving entertainment, but you're going in july so it's going to be RVs everywhere anyways, especially around vernon/kelowna and there is nowhere to pass on 6

Might be able to find one here http://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/vancouver/1980-mazda-rx7-series1-for-restoration/1167957479?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true looks like it's bolted to a bunch of other poo poo though.

It sucks that it had to end that way. You should have sold the RX7 for parts, and forced the retired team to finish out the trip in a rental mitsubishi mirage. It seems you made the fatal mistake of buying a good $1000 car, and becoming attached enough to your $1000 car that you weren't ready to just push it further into the ditch once it failed.

I'm interested to know what got better fuel economy, an RX-7 driving, or an F-150 towing an RX-7.

Vans are boring and you're going to get too attached again. What you need to do is a "convertible that was never built as a convertible" rally. No price limit, pretty much whatever you're willing to cut the roof off of.
