you didn't even show the Fords...

but yeah, if I had a decent camera at the moment, I'd have pics.

I wanna see the Dime with the rotary!

also, the DOHC non VTEC, D16 block with the ZC head right? I'm so far from Hondas it's not even funny, I'm gonna have to get back into the scene now...there's been a lot of forward movement in the way of Hybrids, I'm used to the old days where everyone swapped a B16 into it.

for a while it seemed like it was THE swap for 510's in the States.

I wanna see more FJ powered Dimes

on that subject....damn! That guy put a lot of work into that swap....probably has a killer weight distribution in the car.

OSS (oh if only you only the Office of Strategic Services), you still sportin' the CA20E?

Yep I still have the CA20, it still runs pretty good to. I figured it would have popped by now

I want to see more FJ's availible to buy haha, let alone in a 510. That is I what I wanted instead of an SR. According to a guy here in Texas that has one in his S12, he said its not that hard to get parts....... But I dont know, he had lots of stuff in his garage tho haha.....

it's been int he GRM challange 3 times, placed 10th overall in 06, that was of course with no I/C, stock managment, stock turbo and old crusty wheels

as fro rust, well, the front fenders and rear quarters are fiberglass, some bonehead layed the glass right over the severly rotted quarters, the pans have a few holes here and ther, mostly at the seams, adn little typical frame dogleg rust on the drivers side, and the drivers frame rail above the sway bar mount has a rust hole, for Ky it's pretty good, for texas it would be scrap

I actually don't know much about that intercooler, it came with the car.And the all trac's motor is in the passenger seat right, until I buy a clutch.

And Datsunboy, in nz do you have snow much and/or a lot of rust problems down there. Your car is pimp too.

yeah we have snow, but only a few times a year in the city.we have a lot of surrounding sea, and thermal stuff, so yeah, we get a bit of rust.

that 4door with hubcaps is a stock 1600. no mods at all.

Yep, smog. I probally could register in Michigan and never smog, but I'd rather do it semi-leagally out here.
