Is it that difficult to run the FA20 cool in such a harsh and hot environment?
I already have another car that weighs almost 2 tons with an LS2 6.0L (ME market - Chevrolet Caprice (A re-Badged Holden WM Caprice))... A great and (torque)y engine that I've been driving for the last 7 years...
I bought my Toyota 86 because I wanted a (2 Adults + 2 kids) fun and sporty car for short in-city trips... and the Caprice is for long distances cruises...
I'm extremely happy with the unsurpassed road feel and control I have with the 86, But I'm finding it hard to adapt to the lack of power (Relatively Speaking) specially in the lower and med range...
Appreciate your discussion and reply.
Kind Regards
