I'm desperate to ditch the 1.7
But not looking to shoehorn anything huge in there I'd prefere to have a simple install with plenty of room to spare I figured that the smallest engine possible would be an advantage So are there any tiny boxer Subaru motors Or Something that fits better then others And please weigh in Advantage and disadvantage Subaru conversion vs. Big type 4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

QUOTE(thelogo @ Jan 12 2015, 12:15 AM) I don't know I always thought this car was too nice to " learn on " What does that mean? I learned to wrench on an immaculate TR6 with a blue BC/CC paint job so deep it looked like you could dive right in on a sunny day. That car was really nice. Was it too nice? Well, my wrenches still fit all the nuts and bolts, and my screwdrivers still fit all the screws. Within a few months of buying it, I'd rebuilt the cooling system, rebuilt the ZS carbs, changed U-joints, etc. Just get in and start doing it. Once you do you'll realize it's not black magic that you have to pay someone $100/hr for. I kind of agree with DB a little here on this one. Things are going to break on old cars. Might as well learn to fix it yourself. That's why there's forums like this. If you don't know how to fix it, post a new topic and ask your question. Someone will come along and help you out with an answer. Or, use the search function (but who does that?!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
