Might need a new wheel



Only problem is the service intervals are about 6000 miles.
Would be good on the drag strip though





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

It would be easier as a Mid/Rear engine setup, so you can keep the engine transverse, as i dont think there are any setups using that engine longditudionally

No they aren't!
The engine service intervals are 10-12k
The rear diff service intervals are 4.5k (service entails checking the oil level in the bottle in the boot and actuating the diff whilst the vehicle is on a 4 poster lift to check for air locks)

Now that would make a quick car. I was talking to a locl guy who was planning on using an evo engine for a se7en. Madness i say

Do you think it will polish out? Might need G3 though.

Don't like this though:

WE HAVE HAD THE CAR RUNNING BUT DUE TO OIL COOLER DAMAGE NOT FOR LONG



Don't know how the oilcooler is plumbed in on the evo, but most use a takeoff plate between oil filter and oilpump so they ran it probably without oil pressure

If you can afford to think of using that for a donor you're definitely in the wrong place I think





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
