if people were nicer on the roads in would be okay, but yeah, it pretty much sucks.

Alex - if I was spending money on a mod like that, I'd probably get a Richmond or Getrag 6-sp and pay to have a custom bell built. And shoe horn a C4 rear in it while I was at it...... and then find a cooler engine to put in......

What about ford's modular? 4.6 de-stroked and bored. There was a company a couple years back that built one NA that pushed 600 hp, and revved to 11,000, that would be cool

 

they put it in a pantera....

 

I really don't fancy reading the whole of the last page .... can anyone give me a run down of what was on it ??

 

You should at least go back and harass RaptorsGeoMetro. It is your civic duty to the corner......

 

James, you're welcoming a new female member - Patty

She's a little shy though....so play nice!!

 

if you're going with a sequential, you might as well go with a holinger semi-auto. a more traditional double-H '6' can be optioned as well, though.

a C4 rearend, you say? why not a Ford 9-inch?

the ford 4.6 is a nice block to start from, jim has plenty of experience with them - he has a bored cobra 4.6 in Bear. anyway, the cast iron block can withstand gobs of power, the problem would be with the internals - forged all the way...

now, an 11krpm ford modular would mean a serious overbore AND a wicked serious de-stroke. the current bore/stroke ratio just wont cut it for high rpm. also, you'd need a custom valvetrain. it is an OHC (thank god) setup so it'll take high rpms more readily than a pushrod setup. i'd imagine there'd be some hardcore valve floatage though. with a 2-valve setup and 6krpm+ you'll need some bigass valves and an aggressive cam; but bigass valves and high rpm don't go well together... you'll have to find someone with a 4-valve setup for the ford 4.6.


BUT

if you're going this all-out, i say just go with a C32B and a holinger M71 6-speed sequential - electrohydraulic clutch and semi-auto. the S2k would haul some major ass. AND stay 100% honda.

 

I grew up in North Hollywood until I was 23. Lived in Sylmar too. The valley and LA are full of pissed off people who take the fun outta life. Too many cars and people. Back in the old days it wasn't so bad.

Sorry .....
