What was your first car?
Mine was a '76 MGB that my Dad gave me for taking such good care of it and doing so well in school.
I spun a rod bearing in it while in college and took that opportunity to build it up...Crane "World" Cam, Weber 45DCOE sidedraft carb, 5-ring pistons, new oil pump, valves, optical ignition, the whole deal. It already had other goodies on it, like a tube shock conversion kit w/KYB's, lowering springs in front, de-arched leaf springs in back, Pirelli tires, roll bar, air dam, front & rear sway bars, free-flow exhaust, fog lights...and DODGE CHALLENGER WHEELS. Yep, remember the little, wimpy Challenger, probably some 80's version? Same bolt pattern as my MG. Allowed me to put 205's on it.
It would keep up with a 240z with a 6 cylinder, no problem. Hey, that was good for an MG! Rode like a skateboard but I could 4-wheel drift that car through a turn like nobody's business, the balance was so good.
Ah, memories.
NEXT!
