Well with 40,000 hard miles ive put on the car it's time to rebuild the motor. I've noticed smoke on occasion suggesting an oil leak and cooling issues now. Depending on how much money I have to work with will determine what I can do. Right now the plan is 2g pistons, stock rods on clevite bearings, portred 14b turbo or Evo3, ported head, fmic, walbro 255, 550cc injectors, ported exhaust manifold and o2 housing, 3in. exhaust and a few other things. Of course the balance shafts will come out and all seals and gaskets and such will be replaced. My goal basically is 300whp which is easy to do, I dont want too much power because I still plan to autox the car. If money permits I have a few other upgrades in mind. Hopefully I'll have another car in a week or 2 and the Laser goes into hiding until spring.  |

Hmm...Get that job in a different state and save your money. You can buy a new engine, or car for that matter in a few months...

Thats the plan. This job over the winter will make me enough money to build the motor up to where I want it.

Most likely, I can't sell it the way it is right now. I like my car and have always loved the 1st gens and I want to keep it. For the money it would cost to buy a newer car I can make mine fast as hell and have it built the way I've wanted to since I got it.

Just wanted to let you know Ben that Kevin has a fully built motor already. He is trying to get rid of it. He wanted me to buy it about a month ago why I have no clue. But as far as I know the engine is built for 32PSI everything inside is fully rebuilt. He was selling it for about $900 I dont know if that has changed or not but thought I would let you know. Welcome to my world of rebuilds over and over and over  |

Well, change of plans. I've decided to hold off on the build for at least another year unless it's neccassary. All I'll say is that I'll be going n/a for autox next year, and yes im still keeping the Laser.
