Sift through the bullshit, but there's lots of great deals to be had on there.

I'll have to check it out in a bit.
I've gotta move the Fury to Tampa FOERST though....and find someplace to put it.
unhinged......no, not really.

Hey, stop by sometime. Also, I'll have to fill you in on the local tampa to-do and our guys down here.

heh, I'm still out on the road for the next month, i'm due back July 7th, though it might be the 8th. Hopefully I'll have the job situation sorted out by then too.
on a side note, does that oval track over in Bradenton or Desoto still do the Wednesday night practices? Last time I checked the FloridaDrift forums a couple years ago they were just getting it started. If I get the job with CT Transport, I'm only gonna have probably Tuesday-Wednesday or Wednesday-Thursday off.

Re: Flying Brick II
the Fury has been sold. I decided not to take a chance on if it's storage cost were going to put me under while in training for whichever next job I get.
so...looking at more do-able chassis in the near future....even an S-chassis.

Re: Flying Brick II
Wait a god damn minute. If you move to my city, there's no way in hell you'd be allowed to do just an S13.
Let me put it to you this way:
RWD Legacy Wagon
LS400 with R154 and full race car prep
MX73 with SR and painless harness
two JZX83s built to FD spec several years ago (before they popular)
Infiniti Q45 with G35 6 speed
The "double-wide" S13
Fox body 4-cyl Mustang with BC coilovers and 60-1 turbo
etc., all on coilovers with full bushings all around. That's how we do here. It's not really applicable at this point in heritage to settle for anything less that what you have envisioned in your mind. Rather than go under the ideas that you build a car you like versus a car that works or learn on a basic car FOERST to learn, I prefer to build a car that works because you like it enough to make it and build a car that thrills you and learn around it. When you fantazise about being the supreme badass sliding away into the distance with the Final Countdown playing to your every move, is it in an S13 or some rad-as-fuck-menace-to-the-world Mopar monster?

Hey look, in the magic of images.google.com I found an artist's rendering of just what you want deep down:
Amazing!

Re: Flying Brick II

rwd-converted '95-'00 Dodge Avenger (just needs the rear subframe out of an AWD 2nd gen DSM...it bolts right in........and a 318 or a 360)....because all that generation Avenger is..is a 2nd gen DSM that's been stretched by 3 inches.
I found like 7 of them just on Craigslist alone for under $1,000.
you forgot the Valkyrie goddesses

Re: Flying Brick II
i've always thought the avenger was more of a RWD looking car than an FF... in fact.. you could do a Sebring as well.
Re: Flying Brick II
I think it's funny when companies have bad anagrams... but they go for it anyway.
ED? Why not?!

Re: Flying Brick II
now the question is... are you up or are you still up? (meaning awake) not ED. haha.andysapp wrote:I think it's funny when companies have bad anagrams... but they go for it anyway.

Re: Flying Brick II
Still up. The red-eye drive back to Atlanta from the Northeast landed us back here at 6:30am... so my sleep has been properfucked since. I'm trying to reverse the cycle by staying up hahaha.

Re: Flying Brick II
you don't have the time to build an s13 so a RWD swapped avenger is a good idea to you? tony I love you but thats fucking retarded.
