This is my thread which has now been copied over for a fifth time, so if it doesnt make sense that's why. I wanted a good all round package that has limited compramises, here's what I wanted to improve: power, torque, braking power, cornering ability, predictability, stereo, looks, reliability, rigidity all while still having enough room to still fit my bike in the back. Basicly I wanted a daily driver that equiped well enough to go on a circuit should I choose to. Also this has had the suspension tuned to eliminate oversteering, this is not for drifting! Lastly I have tried to make the pictures as detailed as possible so that other people can learn from what I am doing. I am happy to help people and I don't beleive in keeping car secrets, so if you have a question about anything I am doing then ask me here.

I also ask people to respect that we are going to brickmakers park to commemorate the loss of a good friend. So if people do acknoledge that it is a massive meetup then please let it be known why we are there.

Just because SR20s are alloy doesnt make them light. If I have heard correctly they are heavier than a CA-18. Also a 4AGE will make one seem tottaly obese. Also Silvia struts are difficult to fit and have stroke issues, if you call making custom hybrid lower control arms simple mods then you should open a workshop. SR-20: Fantastic peice of engeneering .. hmmm, I don't think that any block should twist with a big power increase and weigh that much considering what it's made of. Add to that the poor casting design of the bottom end, average flow rates out of the head and the crap oil fitting that's prone to strip. I say just fit a 4AGZE with a pulley kit and a decent intercooler. It has the torque and the power without the huge cost. Sure it isn't the most powerfull but it would make for a nice package in a corolla with suspension + brake mods.
