N/a Fd
Whatever floats your boat. I thought it was interesting though.

Do it right, do it once

It looks like a 2nd gen motor. Maybe 180hp?
Lots of issues with this setup, the oil cooler located behind the radiator, hole cut in the hood for air cleaner, battery relocated to the wrong part of the car. Stock FD has 50/50 weight distribution, no turbos takes ~50-70lbs off the front of the car, battery to the rear takes another ~40lbs off the front. The big fuel pump is a total waste of money, stock pump works great for more power. Interesting dash setup, I wonder if he ditched the dash bar, it is part of the structure of the car.

The only FDs without turbos that are worth anything have an extra rotor or two to make up for it.
And that 350 looks like **** too...if you're going to spend the $$ on a widebody kit, spend the $$ on some wheels to fit it.

Damn, I thought I was the only n/a FD in AZ...
Not a fan of either of those cars..
N/A is actually pretty fun, but its just a temporary thing for me as the turbo setup is being fabbed up. It put down 218whp though.

What's killing me is that he is asking $10,500... that car is worth less than that... i'll say $3,500 if that... that gut is an idiot... specially with all those half fast jobs...

My question is "why?" as well. That is why I posted it.
I can understand a N/A 20b in an FD but I see no reason to make the 13brew into a N/A. There has to be some reason he did it.
Anyone?

I've considered doing an N/A FD. It would be far more reliable, nice smooth power band (which is nice for auto-x), less weight (no turbo(s), intercooler, extra crap that goes along with it), with a nicely put together N/A motor you could have a VERY potent track car on your hands... If you really think about it you don't need a ton of power for auto-xing, some of the faster cars around are pretty low output with a nicely set up chassis. So not having a turbo isn't quite as much of a hinderance as some of you are making it out to be depending on what you intend for the car.
