BEAMS... Yea, thats a thought I've got. Roman had it first though. Didn't tell me about it, I just thought about it a couple of weeks ago. Great minds or something :P

Kinda like the black paint ;) hehehe

Maybe a BEAMS with a S/C? Now that would be interesting.... One step at a time though. Got a modest bodykit to chuck on, then the black paint. After that I'll be doing suspension work, springs, shocks, sway bars, full bush kit. Brakes after that, then work on finding a BEAMS.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

hehe, yep. :)

One could argue that if we were such 'great minds', we wouldnt be pouring obscene amounts of money into 15 year old cars. :)

And NA ones at that, when its not exactly hard (Or prohibitively expensive) to find a turbo model. :lol:

Yeh, but if you run out of fuel.. your fuel line and rail presure drops right off.. injector opens.. half the amount of fuel that was *expected* comes out... and you run lean...

Lean = blows holes in pistons.

So if you timed it right, came on boost, ran out of fuel... maybe you could blow a hole in ya piston ^_^!

nah, seems silly to run outta petty oil though :(
