Well pretty much I narrowed my search down to one car. Semed to be the only one that I could just buy and beat the crap out of without reworking it.
Well one thing for sure it handles like a dream. Now that things I found a bit odd but I guess thats just how the cars are. For starters there isn't any power assist for the brakes. I had to push them hard as hell to get them working. Or at least much harder then I am used to. I'm just wondering if this can be changed somehow. Oh by the way the brakes are HUGE!!! Porsche 930 I think he said. Also the clutch pedal felt kinda hard and had to be pushed way far. Thinking a hydralic clutch might work better. Any way to change this??? And finaly the shifting felt more like a suggestion then a definite command. I was very careful shifting because I thought it was gonna miss. It has a wevo shifter. It was cool to drive though. Sounded like a muscle car and to have it right behind your head made you feel powerful. I don't think it's as fast as my civic which is unfortunate, but it more then makes up for it in handling. |

Yeah, I took the Koni not-so-adjustables out and put the Bilsteins back in. It made a world of difference on my kidney! I left the Shine needle bearings in. They transmit a little, but there has to be something said for eliminating most of the friction in a critical moving part.
I had the engine fine-tuned for the street too. It purrs now... Chris Musante is a genius. He can tune an engine as well as he builds them. Since he bought his own 4-wheel dyno, he's elevated it to an art. That's the beauty of fuel injection- you can dial in dependable, consistent results, with a torque curve that looks like you drew it with a ruler. My other teener has carbs, but I don't know for how much longer. |
