    Add one more AWD to the board

    Talk about stumbling onto a find, I was trying to find another BG in better shape than our LX and I find this. Go down to look at it, I see that it says 4WD on the fender. I'm like "WTF???", jump down to look under the back of the car and there, staring back at me, was a rear diff and axles. The guy wanted a grand, I offered him 900 and drove it home that night. On to the pics



    Parked next to my red LX




    Haven't even had it long enough to wash it.


    This one is for the neigh-sayers.

    166k on the clock, in pretty good shape with no real body damage. A bit of paint chipping on the trunk, that's about it. Tranny is tight, nothing clicks or grinds, doesn't burn or use any oil, heater and A/C works. All in all, I'd say I got a pretty good deal!

    I'm getting ready to start another higher paying job next week, so hopefully the GTX engine/tranny swap will be SOON!!

          This is Oregon, there is no such thing as rust. But seriously, no rust at all.

            HA HA! so true. my blue car that i'm junking has zero rust, as does my current car, which is originally from oregon. gotta love that they don't put salt on the roads.

            so, are you gonna have this ready for any summer meets?

            I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

                Maybe, we'll see. I am FINALLY getting a good job that has regular hours. You know I have friends who have never seen me on a weekend? True story.

                My red LX may or may not be getting the BPT from my Festiva, haven't desided yet. But I've already started pricing GTX parts for the AWD, so you better believe it won't stay stock for long.

                    awesome find
                    I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                        "There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

                            You my friend are a lucky bastard and I suggest you go out and buy a lottery ticket.
                            '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
                            '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

                              No complaining. You were at the DooWop rally all weekend while I was here, working. You should come and help me wash it though :D


                              Jay, any advise you have for a new AWD owner?
