The 2T-G motors are getting very scarce. The last one I saw was one Bob Kendrick had transplanted into a MG Midget after doing a 2 Liter conversion on it. That Midget was scary fast.



Yep. The one I had was actually a grey market Levin GT with a 2t-g side draft. I bought it from a woman who was selling it after her divorce. I had no idea what I had until a few years after a had sold it. Same with the RX3 Savannah SP.

So is really just Marty's midsummer car shopping dream, right? When it's over he'll wake up and go off to the office in his '97 Camry, as usual...

Over here in the 'ham, the red Subie at AAE is long gone. But the red '93 M5 is still there: http://atlanticautoexchange.com/carView.php?car_id=1290

Change the 97 Camry to a F250 Super Duty Crew cab Deisel. Actually, I already have a special account with the funds...just got to figure out what I am going to do. I will have to live with it for a while since I am already living down the sell of the Altima SE-R, only to say...man I shouldn't have done that.

Also, the M5 is above the budget by quite a bit. Same with the Legacy GT.

No real updates, the I have looked at a Toyota Corolla TE71 SR-5 coupe with a Camry V6 in it, and Mini cooper S, and a BMW 325i. In truth I think the Mini Cooper is leading.

Kathy like her Juke, she's having an S with the CVT you can still simulate a 6 speed and shift the shifter up/down.
It will hold the ratio you have selected. If you want a real 6 speed, its available as option on the SV and SL (FWD only).
