Hey, This Is my Car!!!

Post by Iain »

I have browsing the forums catching up (of course!) when i came across this post: '87 SR5 in Toronto

Small world I guess! I spotted my car for sale on Autotrader.ca i did not know he was advertising it on Craigslist too!

Considering he was asking $2200 for it, I think I did ok getting it for only $1200! :)

I paid $1200 for a fairly rusty car with 190K on it...and had to talk the guy down from $2K....you did good.

With good maintenance you could manage 100K miles with it yet.
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

I'm considering a Subaru SVX drivetrain.... 230HP at the crank. Hehehehehe.... Throw a low-pressure BiTurbo setup in there.... Just one thought. Idea for a lowered Terc.... For a lift though.... 22R maybe?
