I took the car out on the weekend after all the mods (sway bar, increased spring rate, corner weights, gearbox, clutch, increased hp, etc) and the car was a jet!!
The car all up with me in it weighs 728kgs (about 650kg alone). Corner weights where 3kg out across the front and 5kg out across the rear..
Unfortunatley with extra hp comes extra heat... Not keeping a close enough eye on the guages the car overheated and blew a head gasket.
I pulled the motor down to check for detonation and not a spot!! I could put another gasket on, a bigger radiator and go again but will put the A15 block under it now..
Obviously not the grunt of an SR20 or CA18 but coming out of mid speed corners with 3rd gear drifts was great fun.
The photo shows the blown gasket on No1 and blow by on Nos2&3... but no detonation thankfully
