So as Ive already written, Doug and I worked on the car the other day and during that experience I got to ride in his blue goon. Its a pretty legit ride and as we came blazing out of the parts store, I knew I needed more power. No longer do I want to rock the granny speed. Ive started talking to Doug and were going to be building a L20b to throw in the green beast. We have a block and head, but I still need to buy all the bits and pieces to make it complete. This will be a good hold off for power and such while I decide on my preferred SR build. For price and ease of swap, this will be a great engine to work with for awhile. I cant wait to start this with Doug (and his vicious beast Zippy the Shiba).
If anyone has a L20b 6bolt flexplate/flywheel for sale, I could use it for my auto. Also, anyone local is, if I could borrow some of the more specialized build tools( ring compressor, spring compressor, toque wrenches) I would appreciate it. Id rather not have to buy them.
To restate my previous posts, Im so glad to have my heater working now that the car has a thermostate. I still cant believe it didnt have one in there... Now my girlfriend will ride int he car because she wont freeze.
