Mojoe Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Bimmerjoe has been retired. The BMW sold last week and will be missed. But, it was time to move on. Now I have some Mojoe to work with and something called a turbo (Actually 2 of them). Being out last night was the first time I had seen everyone since I left in August. I hope we all get together often and have a safe summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 The 3 series has fallen to the reliability of the FD...... graemlins/wtf.gif I'd have made the same choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 thanks for the coments guy's. Their will be NO V8 swap. I'm not sure yet what I want to do with it yet. Still in the planning stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Originally posted by Jon: No I just like a car that can handle good.LS1's aren't that heavy. I've heard they level out the balance of those cars quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honnestly screws it up less then a 20B swap would. Its still heavier and has mass further forward. Joe, simple enough, pick yourself ouit a decent big single, you can be quite happy with 400-450bhp in an FD, and not sacrifice much drivability. Tune it fat, though. graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nization Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 If y'all are so anxious to do V8 swaps, buy my FC chassis and drop one in there. It won't break my heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think FD's are really awesome cars plagued by their powerplant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point. graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Which chassis?? Are you talking about the GTO, F-body, or the C5 (just considering normal American production cars here, as that motor is in other cars as well). Of course not mentioning its Iron Block cousins. In retrospect, I'd still rather have a C5 than an LS1 FD. So is your car plagued by both then??? smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 My car was plauged by a transmission constructed of bird shit and snot. The Monaro, though some what of a pig, is a great chassis. Not sure how they launch, but I've seen them run around a few road courses and I was pretty impressed. THe GTO is like Pontiacs Thunderbird....but with more power. tongue.gif Never been a fan of the C5 or the F body. I dont like live axles, and the C5 has the engine mounted in the wrong place. The vette's are good for burnouts, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
