Eh. If I was in Japan, I'd have so many fun cars to pick from, I wouldn't care.

R34. Kei cars. R32 we can bring into the US already. California is a bitch, though. I want a Honda Beat or an AZ-1. I probably won't fit in either. Mazdaspeed AZ-1 looks sweet. It would be a joy on Palomares.

Upate 6/9
We finally hit the limit on the stock fuel system with a mix of E85 (currently at E30) on our 5858. We have now pulled the head off to do some porting as the stock set up leaves much to be desired. I will try to get some pics of the head for you guys tomorrow as it's being worked on.

Some pics of the cylinder head porting work...Interesting that Ford would use divided ports and a non divided manifold.

Nice results, but at this coin, I think I would rather just have the GT? Plus V8 noise vs Turbo 4

I understand. That is going to be a never ending debate. GT is still $7k more than what we paid for the Ecoboost, this turbo kit is $3400 (making 100whp more than the GT) Plus, we still get better MPG's (which is why most people got the Ecoboost) and some people just like boost
![]() Don't worry, we have the GT covered as well. ![]() |

Some people pay thousands of dollars to save 5 lbs, with the ecoboost you SAVE a couple thousand dollars AND 170 lbs. With most of it being over the front axle you'll get a slight improvement in handling balance as well.
