friend got a police TII engine/tranny
My friend just got a TII engine and tranny from a police car in Japan. Only problem is that its an auto tranny. Anyone know how strong this tranny is? Is it a built up regular auto? Don't tell me its a weak *** NA tranny, cause that would be retarded.

That ***** so much money. Thing about this engine, I'd assume its it great shape. Wouldn't you? I mean don't all police cars get regular tune-ups? Or am I just assuming too much from governments?
Oh and he has pics of the car it came out of. I'll see if I can get them on the net.

The autos in Japanese FC's is much stronger than the one used in US NA's. It's not a bad gearbox for its age, but it is still just an auto. Throw it away and get a 5-speed.

i'll tell you what...
Most cops drive the crap out of police cars... High performance, no bills to pay and no speed traps to worry about!!! trust me i know.
We used to have RX4s and 3s out here back in the 70s. All the older cops still talk about them as if they were Gods gift to the police force. They all were sold in auctions but odly enough, with 1.8 liter 4 cyl, instead of the rotaries. noone was able to fix them once they popped!
I owned once. Me and a friend made it a convertible... We really pimped it out
haha. Sold it for a pretty penny too. I tried to buy it back now that i have a few spare rotary engines. They guy crashed it bad. I'm tracking down another ne that some old lady about 60 years old is driving.
To answer your Q Ruff Ryder. Most police veicles arent moddified. Rarely, and the ones that are are not sold to the public. Japan and Cyprus used to both be commonwealth... A lot of the systems i imagine are the same. just my opinion. It'd been a coolecters item if your friend coulda grabbed the car though

Well that wasn't my question, but thanks
I was just thinking this engine should be in pretty good shape. Ragging on a rotary is kind of an oximoron (sp?). If they get regular oil changes they should be pretty fine, especially since this was an automatic I would think.
