Bleh, I doubt I will put a LS1 in there. It also takes a lot of work for an engine swap and i doubt I have the time or the skills. If were to do a swap, I'm thinking either a 20B or a Renesis, keep it NA

Welcome to club, that is proper way to transport person to place A to place B
1983 240 with 6-cylinder diesel engine that provides whopping 140nm torque to pull whole 1380kg around is mine, which I will use to cause bad looks by neighbours
General Lee, can I be cheeky and ask what your car insurance costs? My first car is a 51 plate Fiesta Zetec 1.25 and the insurance (third party) is just over £2000 in my name (year 1). I can't imagine how much a BMW would be to insure!
lol.. the engine's not too bad actually.. except it's coupled to an auto box. The kickdown works _really_ well though but obviously then the fuel gauge goes down at the same rate as the revs rise
heh.. neighbours might think it looks bad, but it'll cruise nicely all day long. Practicality wins for me every time now and most modern cars look hopeless in design
well i just had a bad accident a little over a week ago. sucks bad i loved my car. still recovering from it and not working. check it out let me know wut you think.
I guess it is cheaper as its a 4 door family saloon. Not a "hot" hatch.
I used Quinn Direct but I actually used Confused.com to find the cheapest, which was Quinn. I do live in a the lowest of the low risk areas with the car kept in a garage, kind of. I have a garage but the car wont be kept in there lol.
Uhhh, after a wreck like that I'd be doing the same. That was pretty cold man. :rolleyes: Good luck Nate - I know how it goes. I wound up in a 15 car pile-up with my first car, a '92 Mazda MX-3 GS, which was my baby. I wrote it off and got enough $$$ to buy another just like it, or at least like it before I'd tweaked it a bit.. I'd hate to have been the woman who caused it all, LOL!
