The Corvette having leaf springs does fascinate me. its almost a character trait that other cars in its class don't use similar to Porsche's RR layout. its interesting to see how both these Manufacturers work around their unorthodox setup.

It does very well, cars pretty heavy for just 200hp
Transmission and axles are really robust, wouldnt have an issue with that power. Might need to do something about the cv joints.

The engines in that one are the same as the early sw20 turbo
The engine that came after, upped the power and materials.
But parts are harder to get because it wasn't sold here, even in the mr2

Only real bad thing about them is trying to find one, so good luck anon.

Might have to get a rhd GT-Four when importable, or pay a small fortune for an alltrac

They are sexy but are not very reliable as a DD. Now go away

4th gen LS or go home.

unless you get a 3rd gen t/a then you are certifiably cool.

>no pictures of the car
>no mention of condition
>no mention of price
>no mention of which engine it has

Try harder next time, anon.

No. go away

What kid of V8?
LS yes
Shitty old 350SBC no
That is unless you're gonna swap an LS.
Also depends entirely on the price and the quality of work/how extensive the swap was.

I can't find any 2nd gen Caravans since most people throw them in the salvage yard

The way he cuts out the dead air when he's talking is a bit annoying and jarring.

My gf wants an early 90s gm (g20?) Van with a 350 for $300.

She's always been poor white trash and she was raised in a van. She says it's her dream car which pisses me off because I've been trying to up her standards over the past year or so and she won't take, always wants the absolute cheapest thing. Clothes, cars, jobs, living space, etc all has to be the skeesiest, cheapest, lowest quality shit she can find.

/rant, been a shitty day

Vans are cool, but fuck having one for a dd.

Obviously the Snaefell, is there really another choice?

doesn't really suit cars, at least something like a P1 which isn't designed to go over jumps

Obama shoved a ton of regulations against diesel. There's so many emission systems on them they aren't reliable.

>internal combustion engines

Diesel passenger cars are a meme. That shit belongs in work vehicles. Spend your resources on researching better petrol engines instead.

90s eg. now go away

*American Pickups

I like the tiny pickups. I'd get one just for sick skids and probably ecotech swap because ecotech parts are dime a dozen.

I have a 2006 Ford escape

>>15894826
What's wrong with the escape? It's perfectly adequate. Don't be such a consumer.

My dad is currently travelling to sell his piece of shit Chevy-rebadged Opel. It's been a dreadful fucking experience.

But I have one it's called a Chevy Spark

ps, already have uaz, mz175, nissan rat micra, whats left of the saab, and the shit c200 parked outside on the street, making the village look good

Small BMW diesel.

cheers anon but diesel is getting pricy now and i can buy autogas @ 25-30 euro cents a litre in europe rather than 1-2 euros for petrol/diesel. got to be a petrol engine with lpg.

> Belong to
Filling my car up there gives them no ownership of me.

> Cheaper
Nope. I fill up somewhere with the second-lowest prices in the area, and the lowest for miles around.

> Private
As in 'small family-owned business'? No such thing. Big oil and big food suppliers push them all around. Ironically, supermarkets are better negotiators because they're not beholden to having smaller deliveries.

I just avoid any petrol station with an M&S store attached, because those cause long waits for pumps and for service. Having a fancy store there encourages normies to shop, and take up my valuable time.
