More Donor

After reading the car and driver article I ruled out one of my donor cars. I had considered a 320i or a 318i as a donor, but they are fairly lackluster hp wise, however a e36 318 might be a better candidate since it came with 134 hp, or 34% more power than the 80-86 BMW 4 banger. I also know I can pick up RX7s for cheap, however I'm not very experienced with the rotary as far as repairs are concerned, but I like the weight and output.

My list is looking like this so far:

  • early BMW e36 318 or 318 ti
  • 2nd gen rx7
  • older celica
  • older miata
  • toyota pickup running gear in the rear with a TDI VW motor. (mmmm Bio)
  • ae86, but too manuy drifters whave decimated teh population there.
  • 240sx
However each has its own pluses and minuses
