Sweeeeeeet!!!

Nice shot Stoney!!! Pretty good axle-articulation... it's good to see one of the old girls being treated right! Maybe I'll get some pics of my Mazda out on the trails, on a digi camera. It's an IFS :( but I've got it built right... long travel torsion bars and I removed the sway bar.. so it gets as much wheel travel as possible from an IFS. But the Mazda suspension and drive gear is bullet proof.... it's a VERY stout setup. The rear has after-market springs, and it's lifted a total of 5" (3" body.. 2" suspension)

Yeah..I dont plan to do any hardcore offroading with it..I picked it up for 2k at work and its just gonna be my daily driver now which is good cuz in the year and a half that I've had my 240 I've put about 22k on it. And yes...the 22re rules. I put NGK plugs and wires on it for under 35 bucks...Toy Power!!

I have a 92 Accord until March, then I will probably get a Nissan truck. I want something to tow my 240 and my tools to drag strips/autox races

Currently pushin a '97 toyota tacoma around town. Crank pulley blew up at 59k and the end of the crank chewed up the block. New engine thanks to Toyota warranty. Yes, toy warrants them to 60k. Tacomas aren't nearly as strong as their solid axle siblings, but for the most part, it's a good work truck and parts hauler.

I ride in a 96 200SX (non-SER) It's got a nice stereo. 2 12inch JL subs so the sound is really nice. I keep it as reliable transpo.

The Infiniti only comes out on nice days and when I'm going off-campus.

In the recent cold weather, and pretty much when I go to class I manage to get around with this:

I guess my "beater" is a 1989 240sx SE, though she's maintained far better than an average beater. I still get offers for it when I take to the track even with 188,000 miles.
