    Haha...well it wouldn't be my first choice but just look at the condition! There's something very cool about it. Now a clean, early 240 - meow.

    Japanese fan.

    Here's the current Datsun. Been in the family since new. Original paint. Its an 1983 280ZX Turbo with quite a few modifications and is currently undergoing a swap to a larger turbo rated to 400HP.

    Sweet!! Do you have any video clips because it seem's you have a nice muffler on her and a straight 6 sounds dreamy imho.

    Lolololo....

    I love those celicas... Very first one I saw as a kid was identical to yours but in a very pale yellow and a beautiful plastic and vinyl black interior.

    Thanks...3" mandrel exhaust exiting a 18" Magnaflow with twin tips. Mimics stock look, but better flow.

    I've a few videos.
    How about racing 1/8 mile against a 300ZXTT? He started to reel me in, but I still got him.

    Wind noise is bad, but you can hear some of the exhaust in this one. I need to stabilize the camera mount better to improve picture quality. Trail run with windshield mount I made.

    Another drive. Sorry, wind noise was so bad I put it to music. Camera mounted behind seat for more in-cab view.

    I had both a 240Z and 280Z and they were not only neat cars, but I think a lot of car for the money.
