the police idea of a modified car in OZ are chrome look hubcaps, personal numberplates, dashmats, pine tree air fresheners and a few "magic happens" stickers.

even then if you get a wanker cop pull you over he'll get you for "aftermarket hubcaps",

trust me...

a cage in a car on a public street is asking for a bite as is fishing for white pointers off Capetoun with half a tuna as bait...

wait-wait-wait...lemme get this straight....

you want to run 9s at 120mph+ and NOT run a cage...?

do you have a will?

is your family looked after if you die?

how old are you exactly?

it's a 240C dude. about the same size as an XY Falcon.

talk about rough!

the tranny tunnel is POP- RIVETTED together FFS! it's already crinkled too!

my god - that is the very definition of "death trap".

you'll want a small IHI turbo, like even smaller than the pissy little RHB34 found on the 660cc suzuki cappucino. seriously, the exhaust outlet on these is smaller than a 10c piece!

if not, the use the RHB34 and make a reducer pipe to aid spool up - ie like a 2 stroke expansion pipe but in reverse.

it's still be like fitting a T88 to a charade though!

RB20 sucks. get an SR20 - all the silvia boys that have changed their SRs for RBs have sold them and bought another SR.

is this what you mean?

welcome.

my biggest piece of advice is TRUST NO-ONE.

get your dad, or your brother, or your aunty...whoever knows about cars that you know PERSONALLY to work on it. even if it's a friend's brother's uncle or whatever - at least it's a lot more local to you that someone who runs a business and sees a chick who knows nothing about cars as a cashcow (please pardon the expression there...!).

next thing you'll need a recond engine coz your inlet manifold gasket has blown and it's gonna cost you $3000 and a month of work.

seriously - TRUST NO-ONE.

and any supercheap or auto one or repco should be able to help you out with an air cleaner.

i would recommend a good oil (like Pennzoil) 15W-40 (or the regular 20W-50 if you can't find that.) but seriously, the stanza engines are bulletproof if you keep the oil changed regularly and use tannin based coolant instead of water or glycol based coolant in the radiator. tannin coolant is a little more expensive, but you change it less often and is less conductive to electrolysis.

it sounds like it's a 12A core and exhaust with a 13B comp cover - oil cooled only see.

the hitachi 18S (13B) are oil and water cooled.

still good value i reckon. turbo is in good nick apparently. checking it out tomorrow morning.
