MMC liners, dual speed oil pump, dual speed or electric water pump, variable length intake? (I would throw this out for a supercharger anyways), forged rods, titanium MMC valves, direct injection (is this too much to ask for?), multi-point laser ignition (this is probably too much to ask for), and cooled EGR for fuel economy. I'd pay a lot of money for that even if it wasn't fast.

Stuff a C160 in there

That would be the first thing I would do to a 1NZ. 5 speed gearbox = puke.

Speaking of which, I just saw someone on Spyderchat list his C56 for 400 bucks. Like I said, 5 speed =

I didn't catch all of it but he said he was going about 35mph, something happened, he hit the brakes only to eat the curb. The pic I saw looked like the rear left wheel. Which was pretty smashed up. I'm guessing he spun out.

We had some heavy rain storms last week so I'm not that surprised.

The ironic part for me is he talked about getting a Gencoupe last year. I don't know him that well so I just dryly told him to make sure and "test drive before you buy." Now I find out he bought an FRS.

I asked him if I could see it when he gets it back from the shop. So we'll see.

IntotheOcean · 01-18-2013, 06:22 AM

Sounds like he's having trouble handling the car.
Tell him to get the gencoupe

serialk11r · 01-18-2013, 06:58 AM

Some kid I met before got a brand new Gen Coupe...which he proceeded to herrafrush

Thank god for Drive clean, the guy who does is a really nice, makes some of the best detailing products ive ever seen too.

You should check out his personal channel too. Has a few videos that are 30mins+ that focus on a single car and some tips/tricks he used on it.
