Yikes! Lots-o-rice in there. How do you like the Neon vs. the older imports?
I have helped do a pair of 350 cid conversions to those RX7's. Those mistu eclispes when done right are snappy.
Ever get a hold of old iron?
I'd like to know about the scca deal.

Welcome aboard.

 

i raced some Group B vintage in the Datsun i went to some duel at De Anza's nothing much.. i know some SCCA instuctors and been around some good racers if you in Nor Cal ill take you to some spots to do some mountain carvin.. i know some good drag spots and too. as far as imports go yea i had alot.. ive been around domestics alot tho my dad had some cars and his friends stuff like that we had a 383 stroker in a 240z and some stangs in the old crew i rolled with but the buick is about it for me.. gtg LATER

 

i forgot to asnwer your question um the neon is ok its very differant to what im used to i still prefer RWD but hey the cars new decently quick and is pretty fun to drive. the older imports have a differant feel they all had something uninqe about them when i had them it all depends on what you want to do.. the eclipse was fast but the blocks on the older 4g63 pretty much suck i must have changed the timing belt like 5 times on it and the first starion i had was pretty cool but i crashed it and the second on had all the usal starion problem(overheating/ cracked heads-i went thru 3) the neons cool cuz besides oil changes i havent had to do any work n it from breaking and what not. all an all its a decent car and a good bargin and im glad i got it..
