Well, since I have a family now... I need something with more than two seats, $6k or less and automatic (for the wife).
That ruled out anything but domestics if I still wanted it to be fast. So, I'm on the hunt for another Grand National.
"FastX7" may just become a long-term (more than 6 months) project now. This is all still in negotiations with myself though. I can't really bring myself to not have the 7 around.
With the motor goin out... I have to decide whether to fix it or to get something else and curb it for a while.

 

Don't take this the wrong way but I think you need to stick to one project. I've seen some of my friends do the same thing...jump around from car to car and never make one of them fast.
You've gone what now...FD, GSR, t-type, FC, and now GN? Well whatever you decide to do, good luck.

 

go for the grand national, although its not really the best "family" car. it is a tank though so your kids should be safe in it.

 

The GSR and T-Type were never really "projects". They were daily drivers at the time. That's what this GN is goin to be, my DD. The FC is still going to be my project, it's just whether I keep ONLY that car, or get a GN/T-Type for my DD.
I want to get my FC up and running again... but the motor/turbo combo I want to put in it will severly limited its streetability. That's if I go all out, if I just get a j-spec motor, then it'll be pretty much the same.

 

That's the ting I have to worry about now. My wife says that we'd be ok with just her car for the kids, but I don't think so.
The GN is a beast and I loved the last one I had for all of 4 days that it lasted.

 

I have an 1988 ford turbo thunderbird for sale 2,500

I'm not a big Ford fan...

 

well you found out what can happen with detinaion and boost on a buick ..

If you find another dont kill it you must keep them in tune and no less than 93 octane and they prefer exxon fuel over any other brand around...I have tried them all

I done rear seal and timing chain in it not long ago

 

damn you be hard on buicks..

wanna run a tank ?

 

If you could sell your FD, it could be a nice down payment on a used/new WRX...not sure how lenient you'd be on that 6k limit though.
