i am seriously considering going to get this.

If it moves and shouldn't, use Duct Tape.
If it should move and doesn't, use WD-40.
If those don't work, its BROKE!

Re: OMG, how awesome of Lemon racer would this be!

leaking steering and bald tires...sounds like it is ready to race.

Re: OMG, how awesome of Lemon racer would this be!

It has all the parts and runs already? Too easy! Probably a good choice though.

Re: OMG, how awesome of Lemon racer would this be!

it would be a DD too after i put the roll cage in

Re: OMG, how awesome of Lemon racer would this be!

There are many many many warnings in other threads against driving a car with a cage on the street without helmet, from people worth listening to.  The definite downside of caging a DD.  That is, unless you're cool rocking a helmet down Dickson St

If it has a race seat that surrounds your head it shouldn't be a problem especially if you are belted in.  Of course that might impair your visibility to cars coming from the side.

you only need to see what is in front of you while you are adding the seat with the head restraints remove all mirrors.

+ 1          A cage will kill you without a helmet on.

Would be a cool car. EngnBldr sells cams for those motors for like $85 (last time I checked) that do a whole lot for those motors. I had a 1980 pickup with their Stroker cam, a Weber 32/36 and a header, not other work, put 115 HP at the wheels. It wasn't super fast, but it scooted pretty good. Makes my 22RE feel like a slug, and it's supposed to make 120 HP stock.

You could probably talk him down enough and sell the seats for enough money to cover a cam. And the nice thing is you don't need any new gaskets to install it. Just have to re adjust your valve lash and do an oil change after your break in.

Keeping it real since last Tuesday!
