do you guys know the technique of starting the car these guys use on the FC?

Like the wiggle the key in the ignition trick...or breaking the ignition or whatever.

Cuz most old cars can start with other keys from the same car. Well atleast this works on Hondas

Its not really car specific more has to do with the key hole being really worn out.

It looks like the 1.6 is around 1500-2500. While the 1.8 is around 2500-4000

That sounds like a good idea. I think they would be excellent daily drivers, instead of getting like 12mpg with the TII. I'm not too sure about the market, I've just been searching craigslist.

go with the 1.8, that car needs all the help it can get with HP. A big go-kart-like, balanced, easy to handle car.

Needs more rotary.

I'm partial to the NA but it needs more power. I know the NB fixed that to an extent but that was my only complaint.
