> [@layzie](#): > > its not a show car so does it matter? yeah, because there is the right way, and the wrong way. Smashing things with a hammer = the wrong way. Are you sure they changed the wheelbase? It looks like they may have just added more caster? ---

They definitely were just making room for the wheels on that RX to have more angle and be able to go full lock. ---

> [@layzie](#): > > being the only 4cylinder NA motor in the world that makes over 200 hp stock, its a nice motor. f20c looooooveee a nice set of ITBs. I can think of 2 Porsche 4 cylinders that make over 200hp stock. Swaps are always interesting to me, I’m not creative enough to figure out what could go in what realistically. ---

Wow, so much misinformation. 944 S2 - 208bhp 3.0L 968 (NA) - 240bhp 3.0L The F20c held the record for power/liter for a production engine for a long time, 1999-2005 I believe. Currently, only the F22c is produced which is less hp/L and now Porsche has the GT3 at 415bhp or something, which slightly edged out the F20c, but that was only introduced in 2006 I believe.
