Awesome car and build! Love the Yellow and funtop! Jealous!

How does everyone find such cheap engines?!? Like LKQ charges $200 for an engine, but $50! I can only find engines from $200 upwards, but nice find! Looks like you made a really good start.

Oh some pics of my previous torque steer monster. BPT 3" exhaust, front mount, 14psi. Probably around 200hp?

Would like to go for about 50% more power this time, in a chassis weighing a fair bit less

Is that an 86-87' AWD 323 GTX? Or just a FWD 323?

It was a 1986 323 SS, sold in australia as 1.6 dohc turbo and non turbo. mine started as a non turbo efi b6

and ended as a bpt haha

right place right time i reckon!

lots of importers here arent happy with anything short of $1500 for these kinds of engine. then haggle with you over loom and ancillaries. but wont seperate gearbox. but the clutch is extra. and if its got an AFM that isnt included in an engine package. stuff like that

I wish I had a yellow funtop. Please enter Festiva (Pride, 121, Aspire) of the month when you complete your build. Thanks.

Rubber or poly?
I'm going to be hunting some down in Sydney soon.
I can order extra for you if you like

[loki323]

either or! poly would be cool but anything has to be better than 25 year / 300 000km of flogged out rubber
