No pics in the ad, but the seller sent me pics within 5 minutes of emailing him. It looks pretty good cosmetically (has all the original trim and decals, but not the white hubcaps). He says it has "some rust" (shocker).

I know these things are hard to get parts for, not terribly good at anything, etc. But I really have some odd "want."

So someone else go buy it so I can stop thinking about it.

I don't have money in hand yet, but yes, it's sold to a buddy of mine for his Chump team.

I'm putting the proceeds toward upgraded suspension and a cage in the e30. With SCCA bringing back RallySprint, it's time to start building the car to be legal for that (and attempt to actually win a RallyCross season while I'm at it).

I could have bought NONACK's if I wanted one. He's part of our rallycross group. I'll just be satisfied with my nicely-modded WRX for the moment, lol.

I liked the Justy idea because my sister had the exact same car when she was a teenager. Her advice on this one: "Don't....it's slower than riding a moped" lol

Justy + 1L ecoboost swap (or VW TDI swap)= winning all the things

So did your cage timeline move up?

I remember a collision test in the early 90s where they did a 35 mph head on collision between a Taurus and a Justy. Both the driver and passenger of the Justy would have walked away. Can't remember which one, but one of the Taurus passengers would have died and the other would have been a quad. I always refer to this when peoiple talk about size mattering in a collision. That and I remind them of F1 vs Nascrap.

I want to do some sort of STI shove into these. Don't talk to me about it maybe not fitting.
