Right i need peoples help here, i know i've only just redone my engine but this will be a summer project so few months before i act on anything! am between jobs too soon so funds will be tight!
i want a whole new engine and drivetrain ideally,
am definatly gonna go the widetrack way to raise the car a bit on willy shocks and aftermarket 35mm springs (avo?) so thats part one of drivetrain. then am havin a new/refurbed box but not sure what yet, recommended?willy/valver or whats wud b best for acceleration basically, none to fussed bout top speed so long as it aint 60mph!! :lol:
for the engine i got a few ways to go. either straight hybrid transplant so i need to source a williams F7R and ecu etc or i cud get a meggi f7r b/end n put a 1.8 head on it and keep standard management (i'll be chip wizzarding at some point, this time next year probs!! :twisted: ) or i cud try a whole f7r meggi engine but sounds bit tricky with machining n that and is the head that much better? bearing in mind am going all out for this so its gonna b full strip down time to core components n change pretty much everything!! :twisted:
what wud people recommend as their own personal IDEAL setup from that list, am open to any other idea n all cuz am like a kid in a toyshop ATM, so many toys to play with i dunno what i really fancy!!:roll:
basically i loved doin my head gasket and am thirsty for another project so spending the next year sortin a pukka engine for my baby is just what the doctor ordered!!
so slowly am gonna collect widetrack and gearbox and whatever engine or parts of engine i want!!
discuss!!!hehe!
