I find it crazy how small the average engine is on Europe. In my driveway alone combined theres 17L of displacement between 4 cars. 

Even my 2.0,which looked quite huggable to begin with, seems quite large in comparison to most engines in Europe. Still much simpler than Turbo designs though.

2 litres is about the average engine size here in the UK. Besides you dont need a big engine to have fun

[RevoltTrain]

The entire back of my car rides lower because of the blown springs. I'm hoping the lowering Springs will have the whole car sitting as low as the rear is atm. Plus you can see the rear camber due to the suspension sagging.

Everyone is like 2L+ masterrace ...

 

1.5L dci .... 105HP / 200Nm 

 

Thoe 50MPG all day long

No, all that's needed is gearing, reasonable weight, good tires, and a windy road (rear wheel drive is optional). Admittedly though, there was a time where I felt somewhat underpowered, but at the time, I was hauling a person to a hospital while going up a steep on ramp.

I really want an old Datsun, I'd even be happy with an auto. Cruiser project

I honestly dig it...

 

 

 

I feel like I'm gonna get hate for that, but if he had a front lip, rear diffuser,wheels, and possible even canards it would look sooooo mint

I'd love an old school one. I honestly would be okay with an auto project. Especially if it's something that will never be fast.

 

I also really want a MK3 Supra, but I know how unreliable the 7M can be.

For me the want for a Datsun stems from them being stupid rare around here. Would have to take a roadtrip to find a non rusted one though

for me the longest roadtrip to get a car would be like 3h to 3.5h

I'd be willing to do a 18 hour each way tbh if the car is worth it

[RevoltTrain]

Imagine this up at a beach along with the OEM rear louvers. It would look soooooo nice

 

That's the dream man

Huge roadtrips with friends are always fun. So especially with the added benefit of picking up a car, that would be mad

36H road trip for a car is always worth it.

I dunno, I wouldn't make a 36 Hour trip for an average car. Gotta be something my heart is in

That's the plan when I get the van. Might be a plane ticket down and then drive the van back. Might also drive the S10 down and tow the truckling back with the van

My great uncle does that all the time for his old project cars, buys on eBay motors, flys out, drives it back to Indiana

holy hell for me combined it actually runs about 6.3L combined. so basically the equivalent of an older AMG V8 motor (maybe 2008 old)

Got you beat at 240 or 260. 

u lucky. for me, none of my cars actually have even 200hp. the van has the highest with 170. but i want a newer model with the 3.0 which bumps up horsepower to 200.

i kinda do want a 260z/280z as a fun car to drive around/restomod it. or maybe a 280zx, since my dad did own one of those back in the day (sold it because it left him stranded one time) either way, it might see a twin turbo rb26 shoved in there.

The MX3 is an underrated car. Aesthetically anyway

and the engine in there was actually quite cool too. 1.8L v6 IIRC. smallest production v6 put into a car.

I love the 280ZX JSRCars has, it's nothing special truly, just a cool car

 

I wouldn't want ridiculous power in one. Keep a NA Straight 6 of some nature

 

 

 

The MX3 is definitely an interesting car, I'd love to get some hands on time with one
