    Skip the cam and stuff and go straight to a turbo if you want to hang with your 'rex.

    The car looks great man. Sport Max's are the new Alpina Kopis! Nice start though.

    Let's drive fast and have fun.

                  If you run a standalone with good tuning...you would never need to worry about that...

                    Thats why you dont run lean, and have an appropriate engine management system

                    oh, and the ticking is probably the engine calling for a valve adjustment...

                      I did the valve adjustment the day I got the car, even after the adjustment the engine wouldn't want to rev past 3k so I just stayed into it and it started pulling again. I ran a shitload of seafoam through it and it helped and seems to run fine but the injectors still tick. Worse part is I sent this guy money for his S50 injectors but haven't recieved them I think I got the shaft.

                          Looks good man. Tires are a little big, but everything else is real solid.
