oh yeah and stay away from crack, ok.

i wonder if you took it to a transmission shop and have some 240sx rear axles/hubs customized to fit a suby. hmmmmm........imagine that, a subaru with wider rear tires!!!

For the price of a "$30k" R33, you could buy a similar mileage used C5 Corvette. Add the $20k MTI Z07 package and you have a 600rwhp, 7.0 liter all motor sports car. Streetable? Supposedly. Low-end torque, 25mpg freeway? Yes. Having a 2 year, 24k warranty from MTI? Priceless.
I see this as a much better choice for all out 'tuners' than a skyline in any form. add turbocharging and you have a totally crazy 800hp tire abuser. supposedly streetable.
what was i talking about?

Well didn't somebody post somewhere that they found an R32 for like $5k when they went to Rally Japan? Sneak that in here. hahaha.
By the way, I saw what appeared to be a legit RHD Type-R Civic at the Pep-boys parking lot in hayward.
