I miss my 4.3 FD.

Just getting the car to pull from 1.5krpm consistently to high rpm, loosing toque dip, was a bonus. I have lined up a stock 86 on the main straight of a race track and matched and out accelerated it(on e85)

Wonder how much better fuel economy on highway was for zenkis. Cuz when I did a Jasper to Banff cruise last fall I managed to stretch 6.3L/100km for one of the fillups. My regular freeway commute usually averages 7.2-7.4L/100km. But I drive like a granny on the road since peace officers are just itching for an excuse to pull u over for loud exhaust, modified exhaust, or stunting

My FRS was pretty much locked on at 7.2. The 86 is perfectly steady at 7.7. Since 95% of my driving is highway with cruise on they are pretty reliable wth no variation between the drives.

You'll notice it in your lap times. Esp up hills. It won't make the car any more fun.

If you want the wow, I recommend a low ratio diff and E85.
