Yea, that s a great video. Seen it earlier but still cool

hmong337 · 02-13-2015, 12:35 PM

A repost but the video in the link is new to me. G'damn that car sounds glorious! At $70,000 just for the engine setup, it better be orgasmic.

Bobby@Forged · 02-13-2015, 03:42 PM

Such a killer car, it's confusing to see it coming, knowing it's a "V8," but instead it sounds like two Kawasakis coming at you, haha

The one you posted has been posted here more than once already. Most of the others are either LS or UZ swaps.

Yeah it's a repost, but what makes this engine so special is that its 2.4L with an 11K RPM redline and weighs about 200 lbs (less than a FA20). Not your typical V8.

And yet I still believe it.

What I don't believe is that it's worth $70K.

Can't be. No way in hell it cost that much to build.

RehabJeff86 · 02-15-2015, 11:53 AM

This is a dream set up for 86 platform, rumor says entire setup including tuning cost 60-70k range.... Synergy is selling the engine for 28k straight from Australia ...

Because it is two Kawasakis mates together that are coming at you.
