It’s high octane fuel for cheap. You get shit mileage, but you can make big power with cheap pump gas. That’s the appeal.

What iteration of 4.6 were you building? There are Cobra guys making stupid power on stock internals.

My parents have a top trim 2012 Accord (EX-L?), and the seats are a little better, but still awful. I can see it being a Honda thing.

Hers is a Sport. I’m not sure if they’re any different, but they’re a no good, terrible, very bad thing. I can’t wait for it to be replaced with a Grand Cherokee.

I hate the seats in my girlfriend’s fit more than any other I have ever sat in. Fuck that car.

KC dad here as well. I’m just gonna assume he’s an angry JoCo resident whose been dumped into mini van hell. (spoken as a JoCo resident who drives an Expedition)

NOW THIS I CAN FAP TO!

If I ever have all the moneys, a turbine Nortech will be my toy boat.

That’s so awesome man. What a cool project!!

Good god this sounds amazing. Got any pics?

Please tell me you have a 4 valve torino.

The sad thing is they used the same shitty plastic in EVERYTHING else from that era. Ugh.

I wonder if it's something where a stand alone aftermarket ECU, like megasquirt or something similar could be adapted.

Lol GM.

I really want to dislike this car, and I can't. And I'm strangely ok with it.

/thread.

We're in Kansas but can travel.

I really wish they had used the 4 valve 4.6 in the Lincoln LS rather than the jag motor. The aftermarket would be insane for those things if they had. Could have a been a competitor to the gen 1 CTS-V if they had gone that route.

First is super, super long on those 3 speeds. Our motor was a 1968 dated (iirc) 289, that has been bored .060 over, giving us just about 302 cubic inches. We then used GT40P heads, Edelbrock 550 cfm carb, holley intake manifold, either a lunati or edelbrock cam (don't remember for sure), but it's not too radical, and…

I forgot to mention that. We have 3 points up front, and lap belts in the back. The biggest thing to make it DD friendly was freshening up the steering and suspension. Modern highway speeds suck when your steering wheel has like 12" of play.
