Re: 1600SSS motor where to get OE flat-top pistons etc

Update - the head has been planed excessively, so it's marginal to use. Goodness knows what is going on as I can see marks in the top of the bore where the exhaust valves have touched the bore edge. Been having second thoughts about modding the car. A big capacity L20B would still look fairly origin...

Re: mean as shakotan 240z

Fair enough, but that look from the rear is really weird, looks like much wider rims could have gone in there. The track looks far too wide with tyres far too narrow.

Re: mean as shakotan 240z

From the rear, this looks really dumb. The rims/tyres are piddly 225's and the widened track looks plain stupid. The camber is far too negative also. No way you'll get a good launch with half your rubber off the road, and made worse with weight transfer on launching. I'm sure Big Sam looks a lot bet...
