Apparantly Glen has to come up and cut the front off one of your Starions (fun), I might come and give him a hand just so I can purve on this thing in the flesh.

Top effort Coxy, can't wait to see it down the 1/4 too.

too easy man... and cheers.

got the E8 all wired in except for the ignition side which i'm still sorting out what i'm using (piazza distributor body turned into a crank angle sensor using MX5 bits i think) and which coils i end up using, going waste spark, have some CE 1.8 lancer coils here i might try, or some galant VR4 ones, i'm using 2 X CSI multiple spark discharge units on it either way...

ooh and i might have my head back by the end of the week if i'm lucky (wrong retainers were sent)

^^^ G series engines have a really long whippy crank, crap bore spacing, and a timing chain. 4Z engines have a nice compact forged steel crank, even bore spacing (so no constantly blowing head gaskets like a big boost big bore G series) and no dramas with timing chains or tensioners.

also you're limited to just over 1800cc's with a G series, and QLD transport rules allow me to install a 2280cc engine with a turbo in my car. so i did! 8)

also the 4Z bolts in if ur smart :wink:
