1973 1.7.
I think I want to keep a 4.. because of weight, etc, and honestly everyone is doing sixes, so thinking about building or buying a bad ass 4.... Whos running high HP 2.0 to 2.2? What carb and or exhaust set up are you running. What are the potential differences in a 2.0 and 2.2 (baring size) What am I going to run into droping in a "new" 4, (what else will I need to change?) Any threads on upgrading a 4? I see tons on upgrading to a 6. And who's crating and selling them? (if anyone) Any help is greatly appreciated. Dave |

Wow, Thanks for all the responses.
Im a bit of a "purist" , but not to the point where I wont upgrade. I dont want to do the V8 or subi thing. Well, Budget is not really a huge issue, BUT... Im not crazy either. Im looking for something that I wont be disapointed with on the track, but at the same time, I dont feel like tearing it down every 2 weeks either. I have alot of help from friends, but i dont want to be a pain in the ass either, so something already built is the ticket for me, Im not at the level to build an engine. General maint is no issue for me though. I can do brakes, suspension, etc... |
