HI everyone. A while ago I posted in here about my brother picking up a first gen. Well he got it. It sarts up, but the clucth problem is there. Probably a bad TOB since the hydraulics were not to fault. And I can hear a whirring that changed with pressing the clutch pedal. So he's buying a new clutch.

now,my question. I have a wrecked S4 FC. I swapped out the TII seats into the SA already. much nicer than the ragged ones that were in it! But what else can be done to upgrade the car with parts from an S4 FC? I don't want to have to do any real fabbing or modding to swap parts. Just want to know what the easy swaps are.

The '79 SA was an Ice racing car, but the 12a fires right up still. exhaust has an RB header and a nice cat back. It's got a swapped rear end so it has 4 wheels disc brakes. It has Minuni Carb that supposedly was placed on the car 2 years ago.

I did some searching, but didn't see any thing pertaining to my exact question.

 

why not slap the turbo on it

 

Good thinking! but that engine that was in it has a new home on my S5 FC! and I meant it has a Mikuni Carb, not Minuni.

 

Upgrade to the S4 alt, get rid of the points, go electronic on the ignition, toss the fusible links, install the 2nd gen fuse block in the bay.

 

Thanks trochoid. I'll do a search for how to do these.

 

If you have a link to a how to on any of these that would speed me, I will be ever-so greatful!
