I still haven't gotten the engine broken loose. It WAS sitting on the street in front of my house. This morning I get a ticket on it some neighbor (jealous no doubt! ;) ) complained. So now it's back in the drivway. My neighbors can now all EAT ME!!!

Wish I could find one of those or a Monte from the same time. Would love to find one to go through and rebuild. Those cars can be made hella sweet. Yours looks good....go through it recently?

That's how it looked 3 years ago... I've driven it through 3 winters since then, so it looks a lot worse now... but that was unrestored... has the puny little 260 V8 that Oldsmobile made... has a good amount of torque though so you only notice the tiny engine when you floor it.

I have a 350 Olds shortblock I was going to put in it, but I ran out of money... wanted to do a restoration on it, but it'll be a while before I can afford to... It's really not even worth selling now, cause I've invested more in it than I'd get for it unless someone was willing to overpay me for it. Has 92,000 miles on it... had to put a new tranny in it, so I built a TH350 in college with a B&M Full Competition Shift kit... hehe, with that shift kit it'll bark the tires from 1st to 2nd at 40 mph even with that 130 HP 260 V8, lol.

98 200sx se-r, with a gti-r jdm engine. I've added a fmic (original is a top mount,, didn't want to lose a stockish look..

I wouldn't trade my car for much of anything.. :p

Cost me $5k for the car, and $3k to have the engine imported.. and countless k's worth of time

The question asks "... do you drive"... since you sit in the back and I am the chauffeur and the driver... the question is best answered by me... besides Mom said....

I drive a DeVille.... and it is much to small for towing around the Porche and Volkswagen..... the traffic is madness..

You forget I got my plastic stearing wheel back there with the big red beepy horn.

400RWHP? Have you verified this by dynoing it? Or is it an estimation?
