Swift

[Eye of the Tiger]

Yup.

[Tave]

Congrats.

She's a little, uhm, rough around the edges, isn't she.

[3.0L V6]

Why?!?

[3.0L V6]

What happened to the Volvo?

[Tave]

Is there impact damage on the driver's side, or is that just the reflexion?

[280Z Turbo]

Rally car!

Thar's a dent in the door. I don't care.

What happened to the Volvo?

Nothing. Just needed a second car.

Rally car!

I hope so

How long until this one fails inspection. Bets, anyone?

I bet negative 8 days. It expired last month.

[280Z Turbo]

How much does it weigh?

[Tave]

What kind of Nazi regime do you live under, and why wouldn't it pass?

[r0tor]

[Eye of the Tiger]

How much does it weigh?

Curb weight is listed at 1800 lbs

The removal of this topic from "The Fast Lane" is unacceptable. This car is not "Mainstream". No member of the mainstream public would dare drive on of these pieces of shit. It will be a race car, and therefore it should be in the sports car section. Otherwise, we should have a new section for "Race Cars"

Autocross your grandma's Buick once and it's a racecar?

No. Anyway, there should be a forum in which to post project cars while they are transitioning from one type to another.

Is Maine worse than Jersey?

It hasn't tried to pass yet this year. There might be a slight rust problem on one rocker panel, and a minor oil leak. Otherwise, it shouldn't have a problem.

People usually post their project car threads in The Garage.

I refuse to do that, since I don't have any problems or questions about it.

Wow. A swift can be an ITB car, aparently.

I would have guessed ITD.

I don't have a clue. We don't have emissions standards or equipment inspections in Wyoming. We just drive the fucking things till they stop moving.

The GTi is quick. The non GTi models would be like ITW

[the Teuton]

That car is in PA and that owner also owns a 2.5RS.  I know which one I'd pick for $8500.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Since this is a rally car, the first thing I need to do is get a set of those comically huge mud flaps.
Even better, are ones that say "sparco" on them, whatever that means. I don't speak Italian.

So with 130 hp, this Metro will be as quick as the first gen Elise when you're done with it.

If I can get approved for some "independent study"... I bet I could drop a 'st33m engine in there.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Ok, so apparently, the motor mounts for the Swift are different from a 'st33m.
