And all they can do is go in a strait line......... As for S2000's I'd rather have ITB's than a turbo. |

No sir. As discussed before, the LS1 doesn't weight more then about 50lbs more then the 13b. Now, the placement does throw off the balance. But the FC would retein it's 50/50 weight disturbtion. If coilovers, or even a fine spring/shock combo were installed, I'm sure the FC would have no problem taking turns.

Ah right... good idea. I don't think I'd do the conversion anytime soon but if the stock engine ever went on me or maybe in a few years when I get bored its definately something I'd like to do. -------------------- Facelift bumper-foglights-clear indicators, clear side repeaters, 16in O.Z alloys, stainless steel grill. JDM facelift tail lights. clear sidelights. Retro-fit A/C conversion. APEX performance springs. Remus exhaust. K&N performance filter. KYB excel G shocks.
Hyundai coupe Mk 3 (US Tiburon) leather seats. Gen 7 s/wheel. SR black vinyl door cards. Late spec spoiler-less tailgate with 3rd brake light. |
