Disagree. Coathangers do not cost $150 in Iowa, sorry.

coathangers are 1/2 price in Iowa as compared to North Carolina.

$1 vs. $2

Really? 50% chance I need 4.25 FD for a cable clutch box, 100% a friend needs a 92-95 Si box or just the internals, etc.

92-95 Si box with OBX would be $800 shipped, but two other people already calling dibs.......

I realised you knew, but some others seemed not to (or were ignoring your goal). I also realise that the $/mile rate is similar. Best of luck, regardless.

Renewable my ***. Have you every read how much biomass has to be grown to support American fuel consumption alone? The entire world couldn't keep us in E85 if they made it their priority, and gave up their cars for goat carts.
Correct, sad but true.

i know nothing about this subject, but i had a similar idea, but with my rx7. i was planning on telling the haltech to cut off power to one rotor. basically making teh car run on one rotor when im runing at cruise.

i was also thinking about fermenting my poop and using the natural gas.
