Search for posts made by DirectFreak, he has an RE (from a Cosmo) in his car and it makes a good amount of power. I believe somewhere in the forum he made posts speaking about the cost and all of the necessary mods that he had to do to make his car reliable.

I guess if you can use an FC coilover suspension, with modification, then yes, in a way they DO make them for the FB.

I knew I would go standalone before I started this thread. I'm not concerned about the ECU, but more about the MAF, TPS, CAS, knock-sensor; things like that. Precision, accuracy, and reliabilty of those components are what are on my mind.

Do each have hot wire MAFs, for instance? I forgot what GXL had under the hood, as far as those kinds of components, but would not be surprised that it a the old, "door-type" MAF.
