waste of time if ur gunna go with an all motor d series

in all reality if your on a tight budget buy suspension parts 1st, that way your car will handle like an elise but with less HP. then when you scrape up the cash get an h22

I had a d16 tubro in hatch.. built with pistons rods etc. no sleeves.. and then i switched to the y8 bottom end and was very impressed.. my tourqe numbers were alot better and its just a niceer set up for some reason.. i say y8 block and the z6 head and a nice turbo kit put 250 the the wheels and go with it.. Good Luck

to be honest all motor d-series have a horrible money/power ratio. if your on a tight budget then just boost stock at like 6 or 7 lbs...

Turbo the D. Probably what I'll end up doing also. Had an h23 turbo before and loved it, but got a wife and kid now and they won't let me spend much cash on the g-ride.
