Is it particularly high revving?

My brother had a Laser RS turbo FWD and a Talon AWD. Both reved up pretty high, I seen him hit 8k a few times. I thought the car was gonna blow up, the 4g63 is a sketchy motor, its really finicky.

Hmmm. Seems a very high price to pay for an 8k redline...

I know one thing, I'll never own another.

That bad...huh?

To be honest, I don't know if I'd buy a car with an interference engine. The potential for a very expensive problem is just too high...

But then, it's not really in my blood to buy a car and leave the original engine in for long, so that may not be a problem at all...

There's one guy in red deer that has a heavily modded 4g63 in his FWD talon, the car gets torn down every year, he says it's cheaper than a catastrophic failure, and seeing the estimate I got.....I agree.

Hmmmm...
A KL-DE, twin turbo, 3000 gt...
That's a wet dream...

Just be sure to clean up afterwords!

the 4g63T is a great engine. It's a shame to have it in the fwd talon tho. AWD ftw. I would own a 95 eclipse awd fo sho. I'd also like to import Mitsu FTO and pimp it out. I like rare and different. I just don't know if I want a right hand drive car. Not too safe IMHO, a left hand turn with all these crap drivers on the road.. I dunno.

I don't know how they drive in Canada, but here in Miami, I wouldn't drive a RHD on the streets if it was an M1A1 Abrams.
I like rare too. That's why my next project (after my MX-3 GS-M) will be an RX-3.
Who knows...? Maybe, if I'm lucky, with a 16X and a 6 speed....

Me for the win

Oh wait ... that was taken in my backyard...

1977 Celica liftback (7mgte or 3sgte swap w/ awd) prolly next project
SSC ultimate aero (worlds fastest car as tested in Washington State)
1993 Celica All-trac
Ford B200 cosworth
Willy's overland Jeep
2009 Skyline GTR
Bugatti Veyron Blitzkrieg SS (freakish fast and possibly the most insensitive name for a car ever)
2009 Lotus Exige
1995 Toyota Pickup (absolutely indestructable)
2008 Toyota Tacoma (set up like the ones one the north pole episode of Top Gear)

I own my dream car, 1984 Monte Carlo SS, blue on blue with a new 350 crate motor, still working on the rebuild and it's been over 2 years...hopefully this coming spring she's ready to go...

Dream cars...

Realistically speaking, I will be buying a 2010 Dodge Challenger, but it'll be a V6 so I can drive it in the winter....in my opinion cars are meant to be driven!!

Unrealistically speaking, the only other car that ever could catch my undivided attention would be a 1967 Corvette Stingray Convertible....I would have to win the lottery for that car! And then maybe an SRT8 Challenger in Richard Petty blue!!!

You should go to montana willy's, google it, they got resto projects to complete originals, and fully restored vehicles. you're just a stones throw away too. tell 'em clint says hi lol

wow, they are close... i was just up in plains, montana lookin at a klze mx-6... i'll have to stop by next year on the annual fishing trip when the entire place isn't covered in snow... which it will undoubtedly be next time i'll be up in the area(ski resorts right on the idaho/montana border)

They are currently sourcing me a overland tailgate which is in good shape, you know, the one with the "OW". Only thing is it's damn hard to find a rebuild kit for the 226 hurricane. So ima stick with the corvette power for now lol. I got a shitload of lit on these if you're seriously considering getting one. I'm also a member of the Antique Willys Association, there are a lot of very knowledgeable members who are dedicated to the preservation of these unique automobiles. Every time i drive it people stop me and ask me what the hell it is haha.
