Oh yeah baby. Extra saucy, too. Picked up an 87 LX roller for $1k. Has full UPR front and rear suspension, Flaming River manual rack and shaft, and an 8 pt cage tied in to the subframe connectors. Selling the wheels and tires, K member, and a few other things.
Now for the fun part. Since I have a nice DD 99 GT with all the power it'll ever need, I can make this into a track beater. I've been following a guy with an '86 LX. He has a bone stock LQ9 truck motor. He studded the mains and put in monster injectors. With a BW S480, he's very close to an 8 second pass and he drives it to and from the track. Say what you will, but that's the direction this is going to go.
Here's the car:
And I REALLY goofed this weekend and had an oil spill disaster to rival the Macando well:
I did an oil change in the '99. When I took off the old filter, I failed to see that the O ring on the old filter stuck to the block. I lubed the new filter, screwed it on, and filled the engine with oil. I started it and after about 10 seconds off idling with no pressure, I shut it down to find that the oil shot out of the filter area towards the P/S pump area that slung 5 quarts of oil EVERYYYWHEREEEEE.
F-M-L.
