I started modifying my car a few weeks ago for autocross. It's a 1973 1.7l car with a more or less stock 1975 2.0l engine, very clean. After the Portland PCA AX #1, I made a few postings and got some suggestions. Rather than continue to hijack that thread, I thought I would start my own.
So here's where we are at today: Tarrett Engineering front sway bar installed and set to mid point 225# Rear Springs and perches Koni Sport Adjustable Shocks set 1/2 turn from full stiffness Turbo Tie Rods 205/50-15 Kuhmo Ecsta XS Tires Empi 44mm Dual Carbs (replaced a single Weber) Mallory Unilite Mechanical Advance Distributor JWest RennShift side-shift Triad Headers and Exhaust System - heat disconnected of course Porterfield R4-S Brake Pads - to be installed next week I think that's about it. Damn, she drives nice. Super tight in the corners. Wow. So, what's next? Besides just drive and compete. I know that. I don't plan to miss a single autocross opportunity in the Portland area. Pictures next. Don't complain yet. Would love to get more ideas and suggestions. Thank you, Steve |

When somone with a 200 HP T4 drives at places other than for 40 second runs at an AX a few times a year, perhaps on track and on street for extended miles I will begin to believe a 200 HP T4 is reliable. Until then they are still all very expereimental. Very cool but expereimental.
Certainly I wouldnt trust anyone other than Jake. He is the Jedi master of big T4's. You dont want to stray too far from the force if you are going down path of a big T4 that makes over 200 HP. Too many things that can go wrong that could spell the end to your empire of money spent on these beasts. |
