• I guess I’m not alone in my love for fast estates... the e30 looks lovely but kinda scary to buy another man’s project car. I have been looking for a 159 q4 but they seem a bit low on power (currently driving 200hp Saab and it feels a bit slow). Does 159 still have Busso engines or is it the gm block with Alfa heads?

    Another idea was to get an is300 sport back and build up the 1jz with a supercharger

  • GM block in the 159 but it really is a great engine despite lacking the Busso legend.

    My 2.4 JTDM doesn't feel slow so I can only imagine the 3.2 V6 should feel very lovely! If you're not religiously opposed to diesel the 2.4 is actually a superb engine, well capable of 250bhp with just a remap, it's built to last.

  • I had a B7 RS4 - absolutely loved it. I know loads about them so give me a shout if you're interested and want to know what to look out for.

  • If you fancy a project, I'd love to see the results of an IS300 wagon with a supercharged 1JZ. or you could go supercharged 1UZ...

    Please build one of them.
