Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Luckily I own a Time Machine

Yes. I will probably upgrade, not sure how much I want to spunk though. Maybe bigger valves and cams. Will need a proper mani to go with it though.

Stick another standard head on....or are you having an attack of while it is there ;)

2002 Tii

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C498922#

Ti and throttle bodies over the mechnical fuel injection.

Can sell you a Ti manifold and maybe be a pair of weber 40's brand new jetted never fitted but a decade old.

45 on a 2 litre are a bit top end and little middle and bottom. The BHP seems like an optomistic dyno as the turbo only makes 25 or so more for a big turbo that kicks in late. Getting 130 at the flywheel is good going with a modern close tolerance build and fuel electric fuel injection.

If you are not woried about originality lob an M3 engine in, quite a few club rally and road race 2002 have that engine in.

I think those engines are like hen's teeth now.

no this one

From CP

How about a 914? All the best people have those.

With a Subaru lump in it. Loads of kits readily available.

Merc R129s are the serious bargains of the moment; SL500.

Possibly not those from 'Steve the maniac swapper', though.

Back in the 90's, my uncle had a Scirocco Storm. He got rid of it after building an XK120 replica.

Oh my.

I think those engines are like hen's teeth now.

4 pot 2.3 are still available, the 2.5 evo ones are rare the 6 pot later ones fit so a simple 280bhp over 200 odd.

Wasn't there something like 15,000 E30 M3 not including the evo's which were 500 or 1000 a piece. These figures are what I remember. While there were a lot more of the 6 pots and worth a hell of alot less, Be intersting to get the brakes in to 02 tho.

Wow a set of fuchs that aren't on a VW.

Non rusty 80's alfa...

That's Ferryman's car. And I think it's for sale if you want it.

Ah, the Pink Pig. The only ugly 917.

All the kurzheck cars are uggers :

Langheck or GFTO :

Think you might have got that the wrong way round...

Wot Ordinata said. 917K or GTFO.

Nice. Not done enough.

I'm sick of seeing copies of that jacket at car events.
