Also, would it be worth building up an A15? Or do you guys think it would be more logical to get an L series to fit in? There's a nice L20B in a scrap yard around here that I've had my eye's on.

Well, I don't really plan on seeing a ton of HP out of this, I just want, as you said, a more streetable motor. The bottom end isn't going to end up with a lot of attention. Just new rod bearings and such. A bottom end job isn't easy to do with the block in the car. Not around here anyways. It's got 200K+ miles, so it will see it soon whether I do it now or not.

The 4-2-1 was my original thought. I was going to cut the stock mani and build off of it, or just try and find another one to screw with. I like lots of torque ;)

I'm in the process of building up my A15 in my Sunny, and I need to know some opinions on this. I'm working off a low budget, so any advice on how to save money would be appreciated. The plan is to build a decent amount of N/A horsepower.

-So far, I've killed all the emissions and installed a new MSD Blaster 3 coil on my electronic dizzy. I got a 32/36 Weber DGAV to install as well as plans on the drawing board for a custom header based off my stock exhaust manifold and glasspack to finish it off.

-As far as valve train, what should I look for? I'm planning on pulling the head this summer and rebuilding the head, lapping the valves, new valve seals, etc. Should I consider stronger valve springs as well? Or are the stock one's okay on an N/A engine? I don't really plan on revving beyond 6500

-What are your opinion's on re-ground cams over new cams? I know I can save a ton of money by having a cam reground instead of buying a new cam.

-I need to try and avoid pulling the engine. I have too many problems as is with the county code enforcement, and I can't risk any violation's. Pulling the engine would draw a little too much attention.

Sorry about all the questions, I'm kind of a noob when it comes down to A-series and I don't want to kill anything.

Where are you located?

That's a neat little car. I'd prefer and A series in it though.

Hmmm.. thats almost worth buying and framing to hang in my window for car shows!

Got it!!

What do you guys think? I already started painting all the trim over again and cleaning it up.
Going back for the steering wheel soon.

I want the rotary.








Here's where I started cleaning up and painting trim on the little thing. I like it a lot.


And then the start of the deconstruction;

Check your choke and make sure it's opening all the way at idle when the engine is warm. That was my problem.

Thanks!!

Going to see about pulling tomorrow. I'll see about posting pics if I get it.

And you are correct.

The dash measures almost perfect to my current dash, so fitment isn't really a problem. I'm going to have to make a ton of changes to the current mounts to get this one on though.

I thought about getting the engine and tranny from this car, since it's a 5 speed, and toying with it in my car. I think I'd be the only person with a rotary 210 like mine.
