Toyota MR2 Turbo T-Bar

Fantastic, you must be happy with it! :D

Ahh the rotary engine, one moving part, must make maintenance a dream!

As for Jettas - I grew up in South Africa, which is rife with them, so I've always had a soft spot for 'em :D pity they're relatively rare here in the UK :(

There's actually three moving parts (two rotors and the eccentric shaft that's connected to them and spins the flywheel) but yeah, I love how simplistic they are as well as the sound they make... there's just nothing like it. South Africa, dang. I've never really been outside the US except for a trip to the UK and Italy which was nice to be in a more relaxed envrioment where everyone's not a prick. VW's never really earned the respect they deserve; they build solid dependable cars and I feel most people have always seen them as cheap or hard to work on. Ahwell, they will see. :)
 
I can think of many things that can put a M3 in it's place. A 3rd gen RX-7 for existence and it's a fraction of the cost. Don't get me wrong, I love the M3 (especially the CSL) but it's not be considered something that can school most of the stuff out on the road. Want to go up against a 20b (3 rotor) 2nd gen? It'll even put the Viper SRT-10 to shame.

The Cuda I was Talking Bout

This is the cuda i was talking about, doesnt it look hot?

Isn't that the one Chip Foose helped restore? Drop that ugly excuse of a transmission and install a 3 or 5 speed and it'll be one of the nicest cars I've seen. :)
 
Foose is amazing when it comes to car customization and restoration. If there was one person I was going to have customize my car without any suggestions or input from me, it'd be him.

Yeah there are alot of things that can beat a M3. All personal pref on what you want it for. I just like german cars. My M3 is for auto x. I did run a 12.5 in the 1/4 mile but I dont care about that.

I guess money also plays a factor in what you want to do. I guess I could buy a mustang for half the price and have on hell of a fast car.

I'm quite a fan of German cars (VW/Audi enthusiast) but I don't like the turn BMW's recently taken and have never liked Mercedes. It's good to see someone else who uses their car what it was built for (I Auto-X as well) and doesn't just drive it around for the status icon. Who knows, maybe we'll go up against eachother in a SCCA event. :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
