Those cars are really heavy.. Even the front wheel drive ones have no problems driving in 3-4 inches of snow <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

(my buddy came and rescued me one time when my corolla couldnt make it up the mountain in a snow storm)

Those SRs really do have some power though.. For the 1000 miles I drove the 1994 SR I had before it spun a bearing I fell in love with the Gen 2. The DOHC engine is a pain in the ass to work on... but once you get the hang of where all the tiny parts go and the trick of getting the heads on and off.. I wouldnt mind accidently falling into another $400 SR as a third vehicle. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hans, Those tiny tires on it really do help with your towing/braking also.. are they 235s? 31 and over would probably start giving you some trouble on the hills..


Yea, they are 235's. I plan on getting another set of wheels so I can put some 35's or something on it when I'm not towing.

I picked up my SR off of ebay for $321 in the salvage vehicle section. It had a blown engine with some missing parts. I bought another blown engine from texas and made one good engine out of the two with all new pumps, seals/gaskets, and belts. With the rebuilt engine, new suspension I have less then $2k invested and I already got my money's worth out of the truck.

Steve is right though. You would hate me if I told you what I paid for that spyder LOL.
