  1. a better question is how do the "member" titles get changed?
  2. Well it looked like the dry sump would over double the entry fee on the swap. V-12's look great, and for now 300hp sounded easy out of one and should be enough. What ever route I go, planning first is rather important to make it to the end.
  3. Is there a cheaper solution to the oil sump/pump problems with this swap? All I could find was the dry sump option. Although nice, it's kinda out of my price range I think. It would be in an S130 if that makes much difference. Still kinda dreaming, for now..
  4. So who is buying and shipping the engine to me
  5. If you don't deal with snow, I'ld skip the awd - gas hit. My legacy runs 20-22 in the city in the winter, and I'll never see 30 ever. You need alot more HP to need the awd in dry conditions, it's not worth it for a DD IMHO.
  6. I think I'ld go custom forged, and be very careful tuning.
  7. WizardBlack, it's to cold here for me to measure, would you mind posting how much of the EJ engines hang in front of the axles? Just for curiosity, how far out front would it hang in a Z....
  8. I don't know your local laws, here in Mn, to repair it the MUST replace the airbags. But that is a state law. Normally around 75% damage is totaled I thought.
  9. No, the '79 had the 130mph speedo. That one only has 5 digits in the odometer. if it has different it has been swapped, and all bets are off.
  10. I'ld love it, I just don't think it could handle the winters here. The high today was 12 degrees about 6 AM. At last check it has dropped 30 degrees.
  11. I don't remember exactly, but I seem to recall Norm built his with stock pistons that he "shaved" down. If it's not here, I know i's in the zcar archives.
  12. just tell him for $7K he can do want he wants with it. I mean everythings for sale....
  13. I see, well the sube is prob'ly a little small. My '97 legacy has 6ft from tailgate to the back of the front seats. Maybe the baja's could fit longer? I really don't remember, the Impreza, Forester are a foot shorter.
  14. What did you need? It's a small trip to my '82, but I need to visit it some time here soon.
  15. I think it makes the back look heavy. But I had played with the body colored B pillars in my mind.
  16. From this http://www.whipplesuperchargers.com/product.asp?ProdID=1162 that one sounds too small and prob'ly running pretty hard. I see one of their upgrade kits for the Lightnings uses a 3.4L.
  17. I'm trying to boy-cott both until they get rid of the DRM "stuff" and agree to a single format. Sadly I see this going the way of the dvd-+rw. Dual format being the standard. I'm waiting. Heh, 1080p, I out grew that w/ my 15" monitor
  18. I think tyson is on the money. I have yet to see the internet use up even a "b" wifi for speed. But the pre-"N" will give you alot better range and signal strength. Maximum PC had a review on some of the "routers".
  19. Good point, there is a temperature switch in the engine bay if i remember, that turns the system off. That's was to help the engine come up to temp first, before the heater can turn on.
  20. Huh, maybe I should check up on this more True. I was vague in my post. But I hope most people got the point that shock loads from a clutch drop is different than a slow build up. Say driving up an increasing grade road? better
  21. There is shock loading to think about also. Totally different that the load of say a mustang dyno.
