Run Away! (Cheap Lotus, "No Dents")...

Starting at $200, No Reserve.

Not mine, not even considering it....

Damn, wish I had $200 and a trailer and a yard to park it in until I get a chance to fix it in the garage I don't have.

No dents in a car with a fiberglass body? Now THAT'S a good thing!

How did a car like that land in Kansas?

Twister probably.

The bidding will be interesting on this. Trailering it back to Ct through the Kansas/Ohio/PA snow would be interesting. Not my first choice in a lotus (europa is) but, if it's cheap enough, worth persuing.

Oh yeah, like I need 5. Hey, there's a back seat for the dog... Kansas is only like 1 state away... My trailer has new tires and it's not snowing yet....

Oh, and ya'll do know that a 910 (or 907) motor is EXACTLY the same length from back of the block to front of the water pump pulley as a 1UZFE is from the back of the block to the front of the AC pulley?

Well, Duh, who doesn't know that?

What's a 1UZFE?

4 litre, quad-cam Toyota V8. Made of win and awesome.

looks like it took a trip through the ugly tree on its way.

I like the picture of the shredded belts.

If that timing belt is shot, that motor is a 300 lb paper weight.

Hey Dr. 1UZFE,

Any idea how hard would it be to stuff one of those under the hood of my 2005 Tacoma?

There's a whole community devoted to doing that. Try lextreme.com for starters, then google up Phil Bradshaw 1uzfe and go from there.

In reply to Woody:

toyota started doing it - at least in the 4-runner with the 2uzfe (iron block version). I've got one. Should be able to go to the parts counter for the pieces.

1GRFE, 4.0 V6

I'm sure that the V8 would fit, but I'm wondering if it would be an electrical nightmare.

Nothing Megasquirt can't fix.

Oh, it would be an electrical nightmare, you can count on that.
