I've looked through AI and I haven't seen anything for those of us who sit on the wrong side of the car and cry whenever someone asks why there is an oil puddle under our car so I figured I'd make one.

Please don't kinkshame those of us who modify or even mutilate their cars for the sake of going fast or looking cool or whatever. It's their car not yours and unless it's the last one available they can do whatever they want with it.

I personally have a '71 MGB GT which continues to try to drive me to suicide by not working. If anyone knows a good way to troubleshoot an ignition switch let me know.

My dad and I bought it in 2006 to do a 4 year restoration. We ended up spending 10 years doing a full frame-off restoration and now it's my daily driver.

Some mods include:
-added a 5 speed Datsun 280Z transmission.
-mild cam
-polished heads with larger valves
-all new wiring
-bluetooth amp and 2 speaker boxes to replace the lovely Honda radio in it.

I'd be curious in a Lotus 7, Series 2 or 3. Massachusetts emissions rules is that the car needs to have emissions equipment for the year in which the car was built. So if the kit was done in the OBD-II era, that means it needs to report OBD-II readiness codes. And apparently most kit builders put in non OBD ECUs.
A real Lotus would be a true antique, though my understanding is that they're not necessarily better built or have better suspension tuning than aftermarket kits.

In Washington state emissions only need to meet any standard at all if it's <25 yrs old. So my 71 could burn coal and
be fine.
