New B3

[kabbage]

I plan on racing the festiva this year at waterford, so having a spare competitive engine may come in handy. Therefore, I'm hesitant to selling it. However, if you make me a good enough offer, I certainly will consider it. I do have entry fees to pay...

[Bowls]

Race with a B3? your not gonna overtake much with 80 horsepower. I don't got alot of experience with small car's or racing, I'd use my moms corolla thats rated for 125 before i'd race with a B3, unless theirs something magical about these engines, or your in a competition with only 1300cc', i would not race with a b3..

Where is Michigan in relation to the canadian border?

There is a bridge cnnecting both of them! They are next to each other.

the most southwestern point of ontario is where the border to michigan is

[Bowls]

Ya kabbage, i doubt i'll be buying that from you. The shipping on 150+lbs to canada would be pretty dirty.

No, I will not be head of the pack. But festivas have proved in the past to be very competitive. Look at these stats at Waterford Hills. I own the 34 car.

Thats 2 festivas in the top 11. Both of these only have B3 engines.

[Bowls]

must be a CC limited competition is it?

[htchbck]

if they are running neons and zx2s those are at least 2 liter motors if not more

[Bowls]

Fair point, but i thought most competitions had a cc limit so somone couldn't just waltz in with a viper and win ya know? or atleast something to keep the cars in a relatively equal race. imagine if those festy's had something bigger in them, i doubt they'd be far from the front if they werent there..

[htchbck]

there probably was some kinda of cc limit on it, the point i was making was that those festies were fighting some cars with at least 2 liters under the hood

[kabbage]

You have to use stock engine pretty much, with some exceptions.

"Engines may be bored to a maximum of .040 inch over standard bore size. Factory replacement pistons or their equivalent with the exception of diameter shall be used. Cast or forged equivalent pistons shall provide the same dome/dish/valve relief configuration, ring groove width and spacing, pin height relationship, weigh no less than the factory standard bore pistons. Piston rings are unrestricted."

Turbo, supercharged, etc. are not allowed.

At my Advance Auto Parts the rebuilt engine is $1,875.00 and there is a $200.00 core fee on top of that.--Jeremie

You can get a NEW, not rebuilt B3 from FMS shipped to your door and no core for less than that!! I just recently installed mine and I am thrilled with the choice!!...It has ended my MADNESS!!!!.........
