Thanks!
Um.. well, it's kinda a secret. But I
guess local can hear about it, since it'll be driving around.
1.8 L of speediness, and a bunch of V2+ fittings for the outside now - I have to replace the fenders and the bumper skin anyway, and I've had the parts around for ages. But it's a bastardized V2+, since it's a coupe.
Even though it turns out I'm paying off the RS late this month, the Brighton is going to be the "play" car. It'll need a bunch before I really want to throw it around, but this way, I don't have to beat on the RS.
Enginewise - the 1.8 has to go sometime. I don't know what the replacement plans are yet. I was considering staying N/A with an EJ25 block and 2.2 heads, but I dunno. I have an N/A already, so..
The plus sides to this one, compared to the white sedan in S. Reno;
1. 30K+ less miles than it, and 2 years newer
2. Interior's in pretty good shape, so I'm not worried about pulling it out - I have the RS seats to throw right in there, too
3. battery's not held in by a pair of rocks (
)
4. trunk lock's fine
5. Definitely wasn't a tweaker's car
6. Most likely more mechanical sound than the other one - I never drove the sedan, and they wanted way too much for it
7. Sound body - again, I never got to drive/thoroghly inspect the sedan, so I don't know if there was underlying damage
8. No power anything except for steering.
The downsides;
1. No tach
2. the car's Forest Green (I thiink), the replacement parts I have are white
Halfway;
1. I never have to take my foot off the gas unless I'm trying to come to a complete stop
