feels heaps tighter but the main reason is when you lower a ke70 the diff pushes over to the LH side of the car which upsets the handling, the ajps adj panhard rod allow the diff to be bought back into centre

Is this out at archy sometimes? Why didn't you just put a 20v into it with all the money you spent on head work and internal bits, would've been cheaper and you would have more power, and aren't they green p plates in the photo's?

and a 20V needs alot more cash thrown at it, ECU =2k or so, and all the dizzy/cooling mods=not cheap.

 

i like what your doing with it trikz, looked tough when you had it at my place a few months back, looks even better now.

in theory i could have put a 20v in, but i don't like 20v's, + this motor can handle 8psi, so if i decide to go turbo it will last, and yes i am green p plates

 

So you don't drive this on the streets then?

Yeah but look at the money he spent on the motor, IMO it just makes more sense to me to put a 20v into it, fair enough you don't like the 20v mate your car i'll shut up now haha, it's good to see at least one 70 out at archy every now and again :P

yes i do drive this on the street, its my daily too.

the reasons i choose no to do 20v is the total build for a 20v is like 4000 to have it running, this cost me around 2000, big prices difference, plus its way easier to make a 16v turboed then a 20v

You do know that it is illegal for a P plater to have an engine conversion.

ive no doubt he does.

 

i belive mr trikzlane has rebuilt the engine himself as well. i think hes an engine builder apprentice/trady?

 

so rebuilding the 16V woulndt have cost as much as you might think SLW.
