Hey, liking the look of this. Awesome car and a great project.
Do you have any idea what kinda of weight difference there is between the 4age and the a-series? Whats the 4age made of?

I have read that about the torque, however any losses are not noticed, it pulls like a train, if anything I am finding it "wheizy" up top, but that could be because I was maxing out its top speed lol i'm lacking Englishskillz... what do you mean by 'wheizy' ?  robinji: a complete 4a-ge with box weighs around 120 kgs i believe. |

cool cheers, any one know how much an a-series weighs?
(I suppose I should just google it really)
Also is that dry or wet?

i'm lacking Englishskillz... what do you mean by 'wheizy' ? Erm.... runs out of steam. I expected it to roar all the way through and get stronger as the revs got higher, however this is not the case, it pulls like a train low down to about 6k then drops off I had the two engines down as the same sort of weight tbh |

cheap lsd:  VERY limited slip  otherwise TRD makes LSD units that fit inside that box, or a Quaiffe unit. But they ain't cheap. |

Update time: So then the £999 Re-Run is 3rd July and the Mini-Ota is not running due to the engine fail at Mallory. The engine has ate nearly all its bearings on the bottom end, and i would assume the top end top heres one of the "loose Ends" lol Right then so, since the only time i can get to the inlet Manifold (and since i scratched it) i have decided to do some more work to the outside of it to make it look better and do some "porting" to help it, as first time round we didnt have time to do any porting, well that and we wasnt sure if it would work. Picture time   On the left you can see the one i have started work on, the one on the right is un-touched  this is how i left it tonight  Will hopefully get this finished tomorrow/monday so i can get the new engine back in and some testing done. |

Mental build, and it looks awesome. Saw you going round Mallory and had a quick look around it in the pits! What's the re-run on the 3rd July then?
