InitialDave posted:Ah, you meant the autos. Yeah, they'll give you a lot of options. Theres a guy on pirate that ran a modified ls powered truggy to a lt230. him and ashcroft worked together to develop the ATB center diff as he was blowing up center diffs in open CDL awd mode. We're talking KOH competition vehicle, not some chelsea chariot. Turns out wheel spin with high HP causes oiling issues from centrifugal force with the center diff, but not a problem locked as the spiders aren't used... Its really an awesome case with a bunch of horseshit bolted to it in factory trim...

1989 to 1992 are. However if you wanted an R32 GTR I would recommend getting a 1993 onward model due to an improved crank.

I'm Australian so I don't have to worry about the classic laws in the US but I've got friends who might want to know about this stuff.

I looked into it because I found one with a blown head gasket and enough body damage to be a perfect rallycross toy. Parts were kinda costly to import but USDJPY will fix that on your end.

InitialDave posted:Yes, like a lot of these cars, they're artificially limited to about 85mph. There's perhaps a little more to be had out of it, I'd say, but not a huge amount. Thats an interesting choice of words Im guessing natural organic beats can go faster.

You know what sounds great? Hot summer day, see a park bench, and rest my back against a sheet of metal painted black that's been cooking in the sun.

Nice wooden bench that there you can sit on when it's -20°C out and watch the people skate by on the river with a nice warm black backrest is pretty nice, eh.

I guess but if it's *your* front porch wouldn't you want something that might be vaguely comfortable to sit on? And where's your dog going to sit?
