I'll believe, "I'm going to leave the engine alone" when I see it! That's not the Ryan I know. He's more like, "I'll work on it until I #&@% it up". I'm glad I'm not like that!!!!! :roll:

Seriously, this is the perfect car for you and I'm happy to see you with it.

Highjack - My uncle and cousin are going to Germany the end of this month to visit friends. The son of that friend and an uncle work for one of the BMW race teams. I'm sending Ash's production of The Dog - BMW grill and all for them to watch. My cousin took a photo of the engineless 318 and the plan to put an LS1 in it!
Will that cause them any heartburn? :lol:

Hey ryan,

I ax's with a kid down in Jacksonville last fall that he and his dad had something like 18 (no joke) 240sx's. The dad had been stationed in Japan and they had some connection and they had a lot of freaky stuff like skyline engines and stuff I didn't even understand. Vern can probably figure out who it is and put you in touch so you have a spare engine!

Oh, and to the grammar and spelling police. If I have any errors in the above or in the future feel free to, well I may misspell it so you file in the blank!

BTW, Ryan also has a bridge (in Bailey of course :wink: ) that he'd like to sell you if you believe the above statement.

That's the game plan.

I already have wheels, tires, Koni's, and roll bar.

Just need some pimpin' street wheels, Ground Controls, and a big front bar.

This car is gonna be kept MUCH like it sits today. NO standalone engine management and the AC is going back IN the car. It makes good power, good sounds and it quite comfortable.


Here really what he got in mind.......

Yeah, you'd have to tell them to look for the motor out of the trucks, not the SiLvIA.

I've been watching NOPI a lot lately. I'm thinking I should have got something like the 240SX instead of the Celica. I want to try drifting next. Maybe I'll just try it in the Z06.
