GJM85

that's like trying to run backwards. the F's slave cam setup won't allow you to reach the rpm like the G's wide valve head. You may well see high torque levels though.

i've got a ae92 seca. was browsing those sportivo levins the other day and there was 3 of them. saw the 9k one and said, "Yes. that's mine!". But now its yours... there's one in noosa. the guy want's 20k for it! what a wacka!

did you buy it off carsales.com for just under 10k? If you did... YOU BASTARD!!! and congradulations. edit to add i think many people run a 10w40. And the brand is always determined by how deep your pocket is....

2 inch exaust, extractors, aftermarket ECU and some larger injectors would probably give you the best bang for your 2k. You'll spend that easy.

that is a Seca liftback.... :)

Looks awesome. Don't know how people could believe the hatch model looks better than that.

It looks like some macabre suicide machine.

Totally not worth it in the end.... though unfortunately once you get into the nasty cycle of unlicensed driving its hard to get out. You've probably heard it a thousand times but you should just do the time for the crime and start a fresh. You'll end up losing your car, your license permanently and possibly jail time if you push it far enough. Did you lose your license through unacceptable driving or did you never have one to beginning?

uber charger + solid bottom end + heaD work = $kid$...

holy crappoly! i'd say someone left the bonnet open in the weather for, oh about 6 months....

you see when a timing belt breaks the valves stop moving but the pistons don't. Any valves left in the open position tend to get a nice little kiss from a piston. I'd say Evan is right. Bent valves. Although if your lucky you could just be 180 degrees out with your timing.

makes for a stiff ride. say good bye to your coccyx.

if your car smells like a mower then its burning oil. excess fuel will blow back through the carbie. check the air cleaner to see if its burnt or smells like fuel. if it sometimespops on start up and you get smoke coming out of the air intake its retarded timing. i have had to set timing on my 4afc to 20 degrees because i think the dizzy is a tooth out. blue smoke is always oil. steam is water and black smoke is fuel though it normally ignites in the exuast manifold causing backfiring and often blowing out flange rings or manifold gaskets. i'd dare say valve stem seals.

Kinda regret sending the old donk to the brink of desruction now... ....tends to give a puff blue smoke between high changes now. If I peak it in first the change to second makes like hiroshima '45... smokey! Thinking either rings or valve seals. Hoping its not a head gasket. :happy:

so i revised from hp to kw. I guess that means i'm inferior...

That's 71 kwhp, and how much did you spend to get that 68rwkw philby? I beg to differ. My brother owns a EL XR6 Falcon 5 speed. It makes poop of even serious NA 4 bangers.

been there buddy... been there! I've owned two 4k's, a rwd 4ac and a now a fwd 4afc and it doesn't matter what you do or spend you'll always want better.

want a go for pinkies? hehehe kidding! Insure it! Drive it like you stole it! Then tell the insurers that's what happened!

You can spend all that money on a 4k and my 4afc ae92 seca will still smoke you.... but then a stock ae101 will smoke me... and a stock ae93 will smoke that... ...and the story goes on. Your best bet! Get a $13K xr6 and slide it into a ditch. That seems to be all the rage... ...ain't I the optimist!!!

@ 25 per E, how many E's went into the modifications of this piker?

and in plain english....

if you had the motivation, time and $$$ to succeed, you would end up with a funny looking WRX.

Yeah apparently the CS model wasn't preped for the strutbrace... The main concern i have with carbed engine is the available space for a set of webers.... Should set up a down draft rig and used a big wrx scoop.

if your really lucky you might find one with injection otherwise most come twin carbed.... use to have the injected one laying in the shed till my dad decided he needed the coin... ;)

18RG twin solex' with sillycar diff, tailshaft, gearbox, front suspension and steering. That would slide with a 2nd gear clutch kick.
