Well, maybe the peddler will be back at some point. I'm sure I have another one around here somewhere...and Lesley's probably getting sick of having to explain why she's my avatar...

 

I know I am J/K did you sell your contour?

 

Nope...still have the freakin' thing. I think I might have the Maxima sold, though, and someone called me about the Grand Cherokee while I was out with some friends tonight.

 

how many cars you got???? sheesh.

 

no wonder you didn't get the S

 

wickster, a c32b, NA with reasonable mods, could be 400+ crank hp NA. now FI and you're talking about 600+ at the flywheel.

properly done, and the possibilities are endless.

 

The Maxima's my dad's. I don't own it...I'm just selling it for him. The Contour, the Jeep and the Miata are mine. The Contour and the Miata are paid for, so the only drain is insurance. The Jeep is the reason I didn't get the S...

 

hmmmmmmm..... I'm going to have to think about this....

 

a 2.0 I4 can only take you so far, esp. if you wanna stay NA


if you were going for track monster, i'd just lightly mod the engine (flywheel, cams, valvetrain, fuel system, ignition), then slap on some hardcore suspension, brakes, wheel/tire, etc.

 

thats sort of the route I'm taking. as you know, I'm getting the toda cams and valve springs. I've got a computer picked out. I will do an Alaniz valve job, whether or not the head porting shows power, if it does I'll do that. I will put in an exedy clutch this summer. I'm putting on the ce28's you know 11 lbs each. Sherwin's wilwood brakes 20 lbs less right there (I'll be losing 30lbs unsprung weight on the front ) for now the suspension is just going to be kg/mm springs and some sway bars..... Koni's will follow later.... among other things I'm sure.

It'll be a nice tight car. And I may stroke the motor. I don't think the drawbacks of doing so will stop me. It would be cool to crack 300 whp all motor, though. It wouldn't be the most powerful, but that would be a respectable, cool feat. And fun.
