Default new auto-x toy

browsing through craigslist, i stumble accross an ad for a 71 datsun 510 2dr for $750, so i go look at it, turns out the guy is relocating to the east coast this week...blah blah blah needs money.... well its a mildly thrashed 510, witha l18, weber, header, 5spd, zx brakes, gutted int, and a full tank of gas. i did what any good car guy would do....paid the man $750 and drove it home. bald 185/60/14's in rain/snow mix+ a new auto-x thrasher= and hour long drive/drift fest...and i dont even think the gas needle moved

i would post pics...but its really nuttin special to look at

I road rallied one in college and would see a fellow at Lime Rock doing hot laps in one when I 'upgraded' to a 240Z. Great cars. Enjoy!

a buddy of mine is a nissan guy and he sent me to a site. One guy on the site stuffed a 350Z motor in one of those lil things. Talk about power to weight ratio.
