"A high performance machine that don't like to be driven slowly"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first brought the car the big end bearing went.

I had the engine rebuilt with the super charged parts for more strength.

Three years later I was racing a Subaru and I blew the crank shaft again.

I have now put a blue top 4-age engine in it with a super charged gear box.

General comments?

There very very light in the in back so they get into drifts easy and don't like to come out straight away.

They do there big end bearing easily.

The shocks don't last long when your getting air born all the time.

Yeah I have a 86 Fx-gt.

My engine knocks more loudly than a jumbo 747 jet liner, but who cares.

It has 195.000km on the clock.

Myself,my brother and countless other people have try ed to break it, but no luck although rest assured this will happen one day as I'm not a quitter.

It has more rust in the front guard than empty beer cans on my floor, but they will be used to bung that hole up.

The engine has seen the rev limiter more times than should be possible, but that is proof to the unbreakable nature of these engines.

Oh yeah 1.6 liter twin cam fuel injected 4age and the gearbox CV joints and all the drive train is just as hard to make pooh out.
