I took the Mach1 and the Supra. The Z06 got me by just under a car but I was pulling at the end.

Not a fan of the pignose, but it's a DD

Looks like the interior is decent too... don't see any rips on the seats or any cracks on the dash!

Love the stripes!

I like the coupes though. How many miles and what did you pay for it?

That oxidation and fading in the paint can all be buffed out without any paintwork. Glad you got the car in a stick too

I paid a whopping $400, I didn't even think to check the mileage. Doesn't really bother me though, if the engine croaks, i got another KA block laying around as well as a head.. All it needs is a clutch. I'm converting to a Silvia front so the pig-nose won't be on that long. The interior is in CRAZY good shape. All I plan on doing with it is wheels, Silvia front, lowering springs, and paint. Mayyyyyybe an exhaust if it's uber-quiet.

Wow, that is an absolutely awesome steal. Hell, unless it had like 300k miles on it, even $1200 would be cheap for a daily driver like that. You paid $400!

No see you call it a daily driver but what it actually is is a spare parts car that will be reduced to a shell within 6 months

Definetely a damn nice pickup for $400 but I think you're gonna have a hard time not swapping parts around.

Looks like you got around that course pretty good....but damn...that course is fucked up! They need some of the Indy Region course designers on the case.....

Yes! That course was wild. Here's what it looked like, from my memory.



Here is the air field where we run. It's the Wiregrass SCCA region, we run at Hunt Army Air Field in Newton, AL. it's a gem of a location. 90% of our courses are set up on the massive concrete slab, but some, like yesterday, transition onto the asphalt runways. Very slippery!

so sexy. You've got a gem of a vehicle. I had to do a double take at the driver's leather. The driver's seat has 1/2 the wear of my 03

Was it redone at some point? Either way, looks nice

^ I noticed the same, but something tells me those seats are out of a RHD car. Thats why the drivers side is clean while the passenger side is a bit cracked.

Actually the driver's seat has a bad tear on the side bolster, you can't see it in the picture. I'm thinking about getting them reupholstered soon. The seats were taken from my friend's 1995 240SX, I swapped them for my old T25 turbocharger.

Words cannot begin to quantify how sexy your car is

Have you thought about a professional detail? That would make it really stand out. Slash what are you going to do with the car during the winter?

EDIT: You live in Florida. Winter is probably some gibberish to you
