hahahaha yeah um........................ well had a very minor front ender the other week so the wagon is in the panel shop getting stung $1600 for insurance to fix my car and the other car so I has no moneys to get my diff I wanted and another motor. so atm its at a stand still I need a turbo and manifold so I can finish my fire wall.

ok quick update.I have decided to scrap the rb20 completely due to its to heavy for the 86 and handles like shit.the new plan is after I sell all the rb gear off to save up for a 13b turbo half cut which will be lighter and ive always like the sound of a rotar.

13bp over 13bt

glad you have seen the light, but, I cant say we didnt tell you so.....

best of luck in the new direction mate

[spicer]

ok well after I sell all my rb gear ill have just around the $1000 mark to either put into saving for a 3k 13btt half cut or buy a motor box computer with wiring and tail shaft but ill only have 1k to spend

You can mess with valving and spring rates etc to help get it handling.

but gotta give you respect for realising and changing directions and giving it a go and getting this far
