TBH they are now getting too old and finding one in good condition would be difficult.
And parts now are rare. |

Well I've stayed out because I could - even with a broken leg and nothing to do. (it's punishment for sleeping with women under 21 - don't worry I paid LOL thats the way I look at it)
1st off Dennis Do yourself and I mean this in the same way as when I meet you at that meet up. Don't buy a headache. YOu need tryed and proven path. Trust me YOu either Follow or make a path in life and the fact your here looking for help - you need to follow. Work out two things - BUDGET and WHAT YOU WANT. Look at A.E he knew he really wanted a 200SX he got it. Maybe he might not if his SP20 lasted longer but He didn't question it etc. So if you can't figrue it out - decided - do you want a coupe - Yes or NO Do you want - Economey or Power - you can't have both. **** OFF TO everyone else because power is money or should I say FUEL you still burn up the same per KW. I bought 4 cars because I want it all. -CARRYING - POWER - LUXURY - ECONOMEY. I just don't drive them at the same time. Nothing personal just don't want ot here how you can have it you can't = end game ( sorry not without buying a Bently GT - new ) Do you want if for future - need for work daily transport etc Most of all WORK THE BUDGET including Insurance etc etc. Then Figure what fits you. Everyone here can recommend good cars. For me knowing sydneys current youth scene and the like I your looking at R34 coupe Gt-T but it might not be in the budget. Insurance will cost etc. Big holdens - fords - all good cars -to point. If was building another 12 second family 4 door it's another SS - - auto this time exhaust tune - koni's - Lovells and another 12.7 run. now something you may think is wrong but don't think anyone will disagree with too much. Don't buy another BA astina - in that I mean Lexus Is200- Is250 - ALFA - anything - A GOLF that not a GTI - Dont' buy cars that are not going fit your need for Modification or Differentation. Buy something that you can get 90% off shelf. This will save you the questioning the following of the wrong idea. I've never said you can't make any car better - but the MOST INDIVIDUAL cars always cost the most. Everything is pionneer Everything is one off or close too IMO having seen you drive I'd even say WRX just be gentle with the box buy post my02. You would be okay. Thats all on that. 2nd thing Guys the Motor was okay nothing spectacular. I've driven auto and manual Mx- KF-ZE powered cars - I would not say it was quicker nor slower. It was no KL-ZE TO put in perspective. I followed him behind a fair bit I saw him excellerate I in 2nd in the wagon FEDOHC. Nothing much in it. In fact one would say both engines are like on paper the KF-ZE would top out more. I would say with my mods similar and the bigger factor I noticed Weight - I've got 250KG wagon body over base 2 hatch. It was 16 second flat car maybe even quicker. If it could launch, Lets be ohnest it's the hardest thing to do on the street and without a LSD. Even then you have to abuse the clutch to get it right. Let me say doing it every day on the way to work has now left me doing turbo shaft upgrades. And hubs. Probelry never told of my broken hub at 50km/h but caliper saved my life. Wheel didn't fall off. Funny but. SO give Dennis break okay fellas. Hes not that bad a bloke. Trust me when I tell you worse guys in sydney talking nothing. Hell **** I was told my Wagon beat 15 second Civic - yet my best is 16.52 at 82MPH I didn't even get 88MPH. |

The only mechanical difference I've seen between the KFZE and KFDE is higher compression. Same cams, same heads, same inlet manifold, same throttlebody. KFZE were the same in Type X and Type R

IMHO V8 commo or something similar so that you can walk into autobarn and get parts off the shelf and the staff know how and where they fit.
