Thats what I meant by this…I overreacted. lol As for the Z32 being great…yea it was a good car…but IMO I think it was the ugliest of the Z’s. It is also the heaviest IIRC. As for the S30’s, They were amazing. The Z31 is in between styles maybe…but to say it isn’t worth “freshening” up…you’re just plain wrong. Think about it. Pay 1000 dollars for the car with a good body and a strong lower mileage engine (yes it has and can be done), If its already turboed…dump in oh I’d guesstimate…$3500-$4500…and you have a 300+hp runner thats clean quick and ready to beat ass. Why not??? Oh and as for the VG being “heavy as balls”, its actually quite light for a V6. To put it in perspective: KA24de (without tranny, flywheel, manifolds, and most accesories): 300 lbs F20c (which is what I assume you have in your car): 320 lbs VG30 (this is engine and tranny and accessories): 392 lbs. Not too shabby I’d say. > [@FS: Gateway Laptop](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-gateway-laptop/34432/5): > > Factory VG30ETs have a tiny ass turbo, no intercooler, no bypass valve and no actual blow-off valve as it’s all integrated into the turbo housing, which was a deliberate choice to avoid lag. > > The stock bottom end can handle well over 400hp, and the motor had such a long/wide production run that you can still find blocks like candy. > > Also, last I checked, low compression engines are great for running high boost pressures. The kid isn’t making an unqualified endorsement of the engine, he just happens to like the platform, give him a break - the S2000 isn’t perfect either. > > And the 80’s are way sweeter than you. Well idk about kid lol but still, he is quite right. I know many running 350-400hp on stock internals and and of one specifically doing a little over 500hp on stock internals. The day your s2000 can do that…you call me up ok? Oh and NICE fiesta btw!!! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/just-another-pittspeed-noob/195517)._
