He's right. Enough time and money and anything is possible. Or you could buy my other EK and put a k20 in it

Please buy it, you know you want to see Jordans face when you put 10 car lenghs on him on the bypass and take the roundabout literally twice as fast

But of course i'll still be there miles in front lol

haha, I had an Astra 8V before my Integra. It was my first car, although it was called the Pontiac Lemans, basically rebadged for the U.S.

The thing would not break down!

my astra redlines all day everyday (as you need to, to actually get anywhere) and it still runs strong unlike a 200sx which blows a rod as soon as you get to redline HAHA rr of 75bhp COME ONE!!!!!

As mentioned, just a welder, metal, and wiring - anything will work. I can't remember which site it was, but one shop was showcasing their a Kia or Hundai they put a b16a2 into.

BTW I was just thinking about the Lemans the other day, as one was holding back a shitload of traffic durning rush hour. Somehow pontiac took their ugliest car from their 80's lineup, and rehashed it as the Aztec. 'Retro' only sells if it was good the first time.
