yeah i've run the gamut of projects....from Dougla go back...its hard to say which was most enjoyable.....the Ox becuz it was the first of its kind (to run that kind of Nitrous setup) evor.....the Rover (in its original form) beat nuff...MUF SR20's....

but dougla was most enjoyable.....the S14 plant in the Lancer made the car HANGRY and MEESAREBLE!!!!......many a "intro to drifting" classes took place on a corner....which had you feeling breathless afterward.

But i grew up amongst N/A's be it big block V8's or tinkering with mechanical secondary's on Webbers and ITB's...the sound of that is just pricelesss..

I agree with Bez...build the car to suit your passion. It was never about high HP figures (hell the most i got out of teh Ox was 4something) but more of the experience. Like with the Rover now...wud i build a high Compression HP N/A car again? money allowed? hell yeah!!

well said rass,

I went and sawa CA18DE complete head yesterday, think I'm gonna get that and build the entire setup on the bench over the next 4 months or so... contacted Hook about some 20v Throttle Bodies for small money, if not looking for some weber 44's

(seeing them for $150 USD a pair on ebay

)

i'm leaving it turbo and on the rd for the next few months while i build the head and intake/carb setup, so i'll enter a few dex etc with the current setup.. so i guess i can compare

best part about this is honestly fellas, if it dont work out as i want, i can always go back turbo.. but i think i am going to love it when done

I know that comment wasn't directed at me, but I'll throw in my 0.5 c anyways.

having owned both high revving N/A cars along with forced induction.....I just find a high revving N/A to be a more visceral experience.

Sure they don't have the sheer "torque" of a properly sized turbo on a 2.0L or 2.5L (or whatever)....but jeez.....revving to 9000 rpm etc and that N/A sound!

Gimme a 2ZZGE or K20 powered car anyday yes :oops:

ok, enough day dreaming,back to reality, solodex coming up and I would like to get the car ready.

SO.. here is the dreaded to do list...

1) Replace diff seals & new fluid OR swap to 120y Diff (needs 120y driveshaft -> diff flange)
2) Replace front and rear leaf spring bushings, rear upper + lower shock bushings, hanger bushings
3) Replace clutch, pressure plate & release bearing (might as well get a light flywheel too eh?)
4) Install 8-10gal Fuel cell (or just install my surge tank and extra walbro for now?)
5) Install 4 Link Safety harness (gotta get that welded in)
6) FIND and install B210 Front Sway Bar (Help!!)
7) Install Tach (yes i still have no tach haha)

Install Handbrake (hydraulic)

Uhhhh, sooo.. hahaha lots to do..

TriniGT · Postby **TriniGT** » February 9th, 2011, 8:52 am

Have me really wondering as well what to do with the Silvia, your friend said he passing this weekend and based on what he is seeing he will make a decision. Ah feeling ah tabanca already yes. Today I will be sorting the rear suspension as there is something that feels a little loose to the rear.
