yes and no, gare.  sash makes about 220 to the
wheels in his 2.0 16V, but it's good for about 6
hours, then its time for a rebuild.

what kind of longevity are we talking about with
vanstone's car, lee?

> a vr or a 1.8t with less work...?

agreed.  but i do agree with sunn's sentiments
regarding NA power.  i love the instantaneous
power delivery of NA.  revving the nuts off them
is pure pornographic pleasure.  

don't get me wrong, i love forced induction, cuz
they are retarded fast and make some
junk-movingly good noises.  but to hear a set of
stoopid cams clunk away to 7500rpm is a gift from
god.
 
> how abundant and cheap are NA 20V's over there

rare as fuck, i think.  when i was there, i
managed to find one in a wrecking yard not far
from luton.  i didn't see one pass thru the shop
during the 7-8 months that i was there.

strangely, i had a guy come into work on friday
who was from australia, but had driven up with
friends from  philly.  he came in looking for a
MAF meter for an AGN coded mk4.  i told him that
north america didn't see that particular engine,
so he was up the creek .  i did, however, sell
him one for an AEG 2.0L instead.  $88 is all it
cost.  i figure that it's worth a shot, cuz the
one he needed is worth AU$1000!!
