71 sport fury

I feel bad I only spend on average 35-40  a week to fill an 18 gallon tank.

I played a bit with the Fury on the yard today. It seemed to have better throttle response than tuesday. And I played a bit with it, going sideways etc. The very light weight of the car makes it better handling than the Imp (much less understeer).

Both cars together:

Also, I'm starting to make a list of the things that need to be changed in order to get tags here. A few minor stuff, like EU-approved reflectors and headlight lenses, getting the horn to work, rewiring the turnsignal (it doesnt work while braking) etc. And the brakes drag a little, probably the master cilinder.

Unlike the Brakmobile, I'm not going to throw a lot of $$$ in upgrades on this car. Its going to be a more or less stock vehicle. So its going to be on some kind of a budget

Dont get me wrong, I will spend the money it needs, just no performance upgrades. I hate lousy repairs with cheap low-quality parts.

Today, I toyed a bit with it on the yard, its very eager to smoke a tire or do a donut, and now that I'm getting a little used to the car, I discover its got really very tight handling. So the claim of previous owners that most of the front end was rebuilt appears to be true

Yea I hear ya cheap parts do you no good and cost you money eventually to replace them. The Imp video was awsome I love looking out over all that hood, whenever the tranny is fixed burn out vedios would be nice , same for the fury.

I didn't know you weren't well Sjak!  I hope that you are doing alright and still wrenching.  It sounds like it
