    I have issues

    Today i helped a friend of mine tow his car, he has a taurus SHO with the same engine that was used in the SHOgun's (can't remember what year his car is) and i towed the SHO with my car dolly being pulled by my aspire :shock:

    the piss off is that by the time i thought to take pics, we already had the SHO unloaded but I am still very impressed with how much abuse my aspire can take!!

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

    Ha! Yeah, that would have been a cool picture set!

    Any future plans for an Aspire engine upgrade, or are you simply content to enjoy the incredible cost-effectiveness of that great buy?

      Whenever my 300zx sells I plan to buy a bigger family car that'll replace the aspire, at that time I'll be posting the aspire for sale so with that in mind, I won't be doing any upgrades to it

        When I read aspire pulling the show and the tittle,I thought ur aspire splitted in half...
        Its amazing how we use this little cars as trucks too,when we went racing with the festiva and the datsun.I loaded everything on the festiva,just folded the rear seat and carried with both sets of slicks. 235-60-15 for the Z and 20x6x14 for the festi,jack, tools,5 gallon of race gas and other small thing.I also had a passenger...and my Z could only carrie the passenger...I also used it for work at times, computer company,I could carrie alot of things in it.

          That's the thing though, my aspire pulled the SHO no problem, of course the little B3 was working pretty hard but it never stops amazing me how much this aspire can do and it amazes me more that I haven't even had a break down despite the abuse I put it through

            Last summer I towed my friends F-150 long bed with my festy for 10 miles. Sure got some looks! It's funny how powerful these little cars truly are.

                .... I would like to see a couple of pics of your DOLLY. I am interested in getting one for my Festi and I know there are all sizes and shapes.

                  So when does the front engine SHO swap start?

                      Awww c'mon man you've already clearanced the engine bay...i bet it would drop right in. No idea what you'd do about a transmission though.

                      I guess you'll just have to do a RWD conversion while you're at it. There have been a few guys talk about doing them in Mustangs but i have yet to see anyone complete the swap. I wanna say there's a trans out of an Astro or something that bolts up.

                        Dude I used my aspire, not my festiva :lol: and my aspire is completely stock

                        I am positive there is a rwd tranny that bolts to the SHO engine, I seen a SHO motor in an old classic car (can't remember the model) and it was rwd

                          I know i'm sayin drop the SHO motor into the Festiva! Or is it not any better than the V6 you have in it? I don't know much about those engines other than the intakes are crazy looking.
