Welcome to our forum from another DSMer.

I had a 93 GSX that I modded pretty heavily. Made a bit over 500whp at 31lbs. My best time was 11.03@135 with a 1.6 second 60' time.

Default Old guy with a new project

Hello everyone. Just picked up a 1989 XJ pioneer for a project for my 9 year old son and I. Ive been a master auto tech for 28 years in the central florida area. Started out with muscle cars and ventured into RWD imports in the mid 90s. Mostly Nissan and Toyotas-Lexus. Very versed the swap scene and performance here in Orlando. Decided to build a off road mobile for me and my son. It should be fun!

I can imagine. In the Eclipse AWD was really nice, but in the Jeep its nice to have 2wd.

I'm guessing fuel economy suffers.
