Progress on the Black Blurr

[King Ricer]

is it still n/a right noe?

[DaveH]

Yep, it's NA until it comes back from the chassis place and I drop in the motor, turbo, tranny, etc. I drove it across town to Elite Chassis last nite, and of course I crossed right in front of a Fargo cop on 13th Ave, and right in front of a Sheriff on Main Ave. Luckily they either didn't notice me or didn't take the time to mess with me.... not having a license plate, or hood, shattered windshield, no blinkers, no seatbelt, etc etc....

nice!

I like.

One question though, don't take offense. Why did you switch to the black car from your red car?

I believe the red car will be his "street" car - everyone needs a 9 second daily driver, right?

LOL

Why didn't he just use the black car as his DD, and the red car as his drag car?

Black car has more miles and was in accident. Red car has low miles and in great shape. Which one would you butcher first?

depends on how many more miles it had. Even then, it seems like more work than necissary. Thats just my opinion.

The red car has 74k miles and is pretty mint. The black car has ~140k from what I remember. The black car was hit in the front, and I'm bascally cutting off the front end from the strut towers forward, and building a tube frame. I plan to back half the car next year, so I'm not going to cut the red car apart to do that. It just makes sense to use the black car. Plus, I have my crap apart so often that it really isn't any more work. LOL

^he just needed a reason to justify buying another supra

[amicheze]

man.. i would KILL to have just one supra..

i hate you dave.. but in that insanely jealous sort of way.

[Dangler]

For the price of what some people are paying for their honda's, and for what they're dumping into them to make them look like they do, a person could actually buy a Supra...

They're not that expensive anymore...

[TsiTom]

There really not actually...ive been watching the prices steadily go down over the last few years. Ive been looking at them more recently because my car loan is up next spring...and on top of that ill be getting another annual raise + im in the steady process of training for a job promotion next year also. So im hopeful...but in the next year or two I will own one...no ifs ands or buts!
