Coming soon : I was planning all sorts of exotic motor conversions, but as I have gotten older and married and having a family the car has become less and less practical. I am looking to sell the car soon and replace her with a 4-door Subaru WRX. It basically has the same type of motor I always wanted the Cabrio to have and more. It's no convertible, but with the 227hp and AWD I'll make the sacrifice.
