BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST
I just acquired another Audi turbo five. The first one needed exhaust valves, which would have ended up costing me more than the engine dirtying the back of my car.
I'm making little "whooooooooOOOOOCheecheechee" noises when I'm driving.
Mercedes 260E with five speed to swap an lsx and T-56 into.
Why no one seems to make 225/70/14 truck tires any moore.
If my local pull a part has a green Ranger I can get the right side of the cab from.
I'd love a set of 225/70-14 truck tires.
BFG makes the All-Terrain in a 195/75-14, allegedly.
my gears are turning on how awesome the $750 1964 rambler classic 2 door on my local CL would look as a gasser

The thing is front wheel drive with 240hp, with a second engine and a little tweaking I would have a 500+ hp sleeper with a wild sounding 10 cylinder sound track.
They also have a straight 6 they managed to get in the S80. Stick one of those in the back for an 11 cylinder ride :)
I'm trying to find an S80 T6 donor myself so I can put a twin turbo setup on my '96 960. It already needs a headgasket, so an engine swap will probably be only a little extra work, lol.
Also thinking 2.4 DOHC in the omni, it should actually shave some weight off of the 2.5 we have in there now. Trying to hit 1800 pounds without driver, that last 200 is not coming easy or cheap.
I just saw this for $1200 on Craigs. Thinking about selling my motorcycle to pick it up. TR3s are one of my top dream cars.

That's my current "neat rallycross car" idea. Caravan/Stratus 2.4l in an L-body. Turbo power without the turbo weight or turbo lag or turbo explodability.
Then put a turbo on it!
i was reading the nismiata thread and had a thought, vg30 powered nissan pickup. the one with the weird sloping nose. i know nissan offered those with a v6, was that the same vg short block? would it be possible to pick one of these up, insert dished pistons for lower compression, and then add different manifolds and turboboosters and have a firebreathing home depot runner? veeeery awesome if so, sras and leafsprings be damned, i would autox the snot out of it
So a friend of mine is dropping in a 6.1 Hemi out of a new wrecked 300, into a '72 Satellite... Kinda has my gears turning for a new toy.... Maybe a lowmileage X1/9, Baja VW with a swap.... I dunno, i'ma have to think on this.
adding S197 GT brakes to '68 Mustang coupe:
Suzuki G13B + Opel GT
Suzuki H27A from XL7 with 5 speed from Grand Vit, with E30 rear suspension, grafted into a stripped out Chevette with a Fiero aftermarket front suspension. Add turbo for giggles. Add box flares for awesome.
I recently bought a supercharger from a Mazda Millenia for my Nissan 240sx. Their supposed to be good for about 600cfm at 17.5 psi, which is more than enough to break my engine...,
