Default How to get from Sol to 240SX hmm...

I just wanted to run this by a few of you. A few people approved this for me.

There's a sell-your-own lot down the street. Sols are there and gone in no time at that lot. I can't put mine there yet, because I'm driving it.

Well, I have always liked 1st gen accords. Especially since I heard if you put on the Weber carb that you get about 80hp total and people have been known to get as high as 80mpg. Here's the one I was looking at: http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/0/0/66221900.htm

Well, I plan on buying this as the in between car and keeping it when I get the 240SX as the backup. How does this sound?

80mpg is great... but the car just looks like a hooptie. even if its in perfect condition. "most" japanese cars look like shit when theyre too old.

a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there was no such thing as electronic fuel injection... in those days things called carburetors, or 'carbs' controlled the amount of fuel going into the engine - not nearly as precise as EFI. Even when EFI came around, it was expensive and eliteist, only going into expensive cars, like the corvette

Weber = brand
carb = carburetor
