Well I'm not sure but it will most likely be another Isuzu. Just to get rid of some of my leftover parts. I have 9 snowflake rims and a store room full of parts. :pQuote:

Those are some GREAT cars, I strongly considered a Crossfire a few years ago but ended up buying a G35 coupe. A heavy factor in that decision was that I didn't want to settle for anything besides the SRT6, but it was MUCHO dinero considering my pay at the time.
And nice photochop too btw. :)
diggin the tr4....
Thanks, but you probably made a more practical choice. Yeah, I had to laugh at some of the guys on the Crossfire forum for giving me a hard time for wanting a standard tranny instead of the only available automatic for the SRT6. I've always had an issue with automatics in a sports car, so I thought Rat Fink shifting my SRT was appropriate....Quote:

Ooohhh... love that TR4. And I agree that an automatic tranny has no place in a sports car.
As for other cars in the household at the moment...
05 Ford Ranger 4WD
04 MB C230 Coupe (Kompressor). Stick, of course.
89 Alfa Romeo (Graduate edition). Yes, it runs.
coming soon... 2000 VX Dragon
the boxster has a tiptronic transmission...basically both automatic and manual....when in manual mode it shifts with a finger from either side of the steering wheel ...its the fastest and smoothest shifting ive ever experienced ....love that car...it rides the road li8ke its on rails.........before i bought it id asked alot of questions...and everyone swore by the tiptronic over the straight manual...its my first tiptronic, I too swear by it now
Well, I have never actually driven a Boxster, but I did take a "test ride" in one. I admit, the shifting seemed pretty spirited. I could make an exception for that one, I think. The real performance cars probably have done a decent job designing an automatic transmission. And even I will admit there are days in freeway traffic when that shifting gets old. But I also tried to get the hang of manually shifting the Pacifica that the hubby had as a company car. Ugh. Especially up and down mountain roads. I swear you could make a sandwich between the time you shifted and the time it actually changed gears. :upsetwgraQuote:

I guess I'd better scratch the 93 TLC from my list. Brother in law blew the engine last fall. Didn't have time to mess with it so it's gone now. No replacement ... yet.Quote:

Did you swap the SD motor in? The SD was only offered in 73-74. They listed it in the manual in '75 but it didn't meet emissions so it got dropped. They did have a 455 though in '76, love the Pontiac big blocks. I would love to get my hands on my uncle's '74, red with a shaker hood, 400, all original and low miles, has just been sitting in his garage for YEARS. That 455 bird (if all original) is one of about 7100 with that engine in '76 since it was the last year the 455 was offered. Got any pics of the rides?
Yes the S/D was an after the fact install made shaker intake functions ram air 4 heads with hurst shift kit on the manual tranny and of course no ac lol. It was originally 455 with 4speed no ac with black interior. Was the first car my dad bought new in 76 sat in a barn for 12 years and then I pulled out and restored. First car I ever had was a 69 SS 396 Camero that I bought for 6500 restored and sold for just under 30k which paid for the vette and the charger. Kicking myself though thing would have been worth so much more and I loved that damn thing. There up in the machine shed at the farm now but I think I have some pics laying around the office here that I can scan somewhere.
