jeebus man, you want nearly as much as a guy could buy the Saturn that rewrote the rule book costs....smiling bouncing smiley

good luck with the plan , if one of the twin cam GT motors will fit in the Shadow it might be stupid fast with a little work. The 3 ltr in the car is an 'ok' motor. Had problems with valve guides dropping and the waterpump tube under the intake rotting out. Carry and extra PCM and map sensor. I swear Chrysler got those pieces from a cereal box. I think you'll like the car, the extra room will be nice for sure!

It's got the wrong motor!! 2.2 or 2.5 turbo motors would be cool. And that's a relative statement....

It has it all!!




And your going to need pizza and nutserts...

I say go with a 4g63t Starion. At least the right wheels are powered. Mark Bowers might be willing to get rid of his Starion, since he has an Alltrac and an old Opel.

What do you guys think a honest good asking price would be for it...I know what I got in it and dont expect to get near that out off it . But at the same time I dont want to just give it away.. The cars a tank.. Maybe ive gotten lucky, but with my first two rallies I have had zero problems with the car... Performed excellent besides a small charging problem that has since been fixed (over heating alternator's) ..

Gage - its a soft economy, and your car, even if a tank is not a proven or developed rally platform - in fact, the few folks that tried to run the second gen dsms had huge problems with weak rear suspension. Go look at the other rally site - there are oodles of cars for sale. So, you will have to drop your price if you want to move it. I'd suggest getting on some of the drag boards as well given your work on the engine. Also grassroots motorsports.
