I don't know, everyone that I have ever talked to has liked the flat six. Is it some monster power house, nah, but the car still weights jack shit. But for the increase of all of less then a hundred pounds you get an extra hundred horse power and, well lets be honest, a rather sexy sound.
And It's really no effort at, every thing is set up for a subaru anyways. And why bother, shit john if have to ask why i do retarded things with rx7s, you haven't been around very long. I do them because I wonder if I can, no other reason.  "Rally racing makes a heroin addiction look like a vague craving for something salty" |

Interesting, in this thread is a photo of a transmission mount I made for a 5-speed SVX conversion I did for a customer. A photo I took, btw:

If you need any tips on the EG33 engine, ask away. I've had the heads on my flowbench and we built one for NASA road racing that made 352 whp in a 2.5 RS chassis (AWD).
They like exhaust flow. A LOT. The heads have restrictive exhaust ports and small exhaust cams. Equal length headers and a single large exhaust really wakes it up. They have cooling issues, but primarily at higher rpms. Keep it below 6500 and all is well. We were twisting 8200 rpms with some big-lift welded cams. The heads LOVE high valve lift. Just increasing the lift to .450" gained 40 cfm (@ 10" of airflow on the intake ports. But we had to grind the underside of the cam covers to clear the lobes, LOL.....Opel is a 4-letter word... http://www.flickr.com/photos/10498579@N07/sets/ |

Snails, hair dryers!!! Who has the money for stuff like that. And lets be frank here, am I a Brendon Reeves, nope, am I cody crane, nada, burress brother, wrong again. My names Matt, I ran the center of pack occasionally knocking on the door of the top 10. I don't want the stress of beating all the way quick guys, are you kidding me, who needs that shit. I enjoy the middle of the pack, and really that's where I like to be. Maybe over time I might gain some more skills and move up a tad, but shit you got to start somewhere. I can't be at the head of the pack to start with, come on john, that's flat brimmed hat thinking. And I still always laugh when you get so flustered about stuff I build in my garage. This car is a staple of shit you have been standing on your soap box boasting to the anyone that will listen for years. Cheap and easy. I took that philosophy to heart and ran with it.
And Gene, you know if I could fuck it up some how I would. Think I could shove me a subaru motor in it.
And Bob, yes I have all sorts of questions, but I'll shoot you a PM and ask them. "Rally racing makes a heroin addiction look like a vague craving for something salty" |
