Haha, evil, evil thing's they are. I'm sure that 32 was the devil in disguise. I think i sold my soul haha.

You may have sold your soul but buying a 32 will more than make up for it!

Technically I'm still a Holden man, but I have always held RB motors and skylines in high regard..

Don't be fooled into thinking the ford 6 can't be a strong engine. Just because it doesn't rev like a RB, doesn't mean it can't pull some serious numbers, even in NA form. These guys sell some really good gear to make it happen, and their top level kit (200+rwkw) is less than 6K if you can do the work yourself.

(having said that - I recently got rid of my EB after driving an RB powered car for the first time, so you are not an orphan )

When I read your post first thing I thought of was that total miss match of the mid 70's from holden/mazda I can't remember the name of the car (cosmos or something else spacey). Essentially it was a hj-hz sedan over flowing with tastless trim and powered by a 12a or 13b rotary. What a cracking sports sedan that wasnt...sheeet it wasnt even economical!!

On an unrelated topic, the carv reffered to IS a Mazda roadpacer and they were hill-hairy-arse! The 700 odd rolling bodies were given to Mazda as part payment for engineering help getting smog controls fitted to the old Holden "red" motor for emission reg changes bought into effect in Australia in 1976 and due to the fridge fitted to the boot, the air con compressor dwarfed the engine!

Keen Mazdaphiles will recognises the RX4 tail lights in the bumper and a few other "interesting" additions

Will do Trav, thank's for the heads-up!

EDIT: Faaark! It's very err.....blue haha. Very nice mod list (and excellent price), but i would like something i can build up myself, so i can get a bit of experience under my belt. Buuuut.....if i cant find something in time, who knows.

I don't think its 'just' Ford and Commodore drivers that are converted easilly . I'm one of these people that likes all [good] cars and after 6 Fords i'd like to try something a little different.

Hmm....have my heart set on a 32, but i'll come in and say hi at around about lunch time tomorrow. You might be able to convince me otherwise haha.

[bankids]

hav a look at mine

i'll take 16k with some mods off, you said you want build up by urself..

[ossie_21]

You could turbo the engine but like you said it's already had a hard life & it would probably get pushed over the edge, so then it's either a rebuild or new engine. If finance isn't a problem & you are prepared for a tough project then go for it, but here's a left of centre idea:

With a similar amount with what a conversion like this will cost, buy a ready-made Japanese import that is made & balanced for what you are after??

My Idea.............................Centre.........................................

.....Right
