So, how does it drive? I know exactly the feeling you went through of having a car sitting at home, and you cant even drive it.
So, what are the future mod plans?

Needs an alignment. Going in on Tuesday.
Future mods....

Engine overhaul, slight bore up using S15 Silvia Pistons and a GT-SS Turbine. Should have it under the knife in March, so that when the summer deployment is over she will be ready and waiting. Shooting for a conservative 300hp at the rears.

irt to the SS...there are a few of them rolling around.
Astro vans and Caprice seem to be favorites for the Japanese to import.

Seeing a few 300C's now out on town.
