with less than 120k on them? cuz im finding alot by me in the 800-1100 range with anywhere from 60k-90k im willing to work with something like that i suppose but to pick up something with 130k just seems dumb unless im in it for a complete engine overhaul

even a port won't really help the a3 head due to the fact that it's got shitty cams and what not. plus the cost of porting it would be more than an a2 head most likely, and it still probably wouldn't run as nice. if you're gonna go the route of piecing the engine together, it's best to start out with the better stuff and have it modified rather than waste your money on the a3. even a simple k24a1 could make 350 with a good turbo and tune. monjarassi made that power and never did anything internally to his k24a1 as far as i know. plus the reliability factor stays a lot higher if you keep the engine stock internally and just boost it as far as i've seen.

Yes. K24>k20a3 all day. Don't worry so much about the head OP, I doubt that's where you are going to run into issues. Take the $1500 you were going to spend, buy 1500 powerball tickets, win, buy a Ferrari, get mad poon tang, live happy forever. The end.

AKEP, can you still get that hook-up on that kit?

not anymore, unless you're local to me. i didnt get much off though maybe $40...but all that it comes with for under 600... pretty sweet..

[Popeye]

Under $600? Not any more it aint. Its a little closer to $700 now, even on Ebay. And nah, Im completely on the other side of the country, so thats a no-go.
And personally, I would take a ZR1 over a Ferrari any day. They're faster than Ferrari's nowadays, and not to mention Im a firm supporter of American arrogance. For me, Ferarri's are like surgeons...they get the job done, and make it look pretty. A ZR1 Vette just blasts away the course, plowing through it. But, in the end, the Vette is the faster car, at half the price. Now dont get me wrong, I would own a Ferrari as well, IF I had the money. But that would come after I get the ZR1 and an Aston Martin.

::edit:: I'd get the Ferrari. It would GET you the poon.

[03 inspire]

i would get the Aston Martin that would still get you the poon and be classy!

If you can find a tuner shop around your area they might be able to pull the dealer card and get it to you for less than ebay prices. but you might have to promise them you'd bring the car back for some tuning

if that doesn't work you can just call them up direct and ask about them selling direct to you. i don't see why they would say "no" to money....being a budget company and all that...
