Still would.I had a supercharged Elise for a bit, was eye-opening. Handling you couldn't find the limits of on road, but just a bit too much to use often.
That car could pass anyone any time, overtaking lane not required. Allegedly.Still would.
$55k for a 15-20yo car though
So, Ariel Atom with the supercharged K24?That car could pass anyone any time, overtaking lane not required. Allegedly.
Light weight does wonders.
I can't even begin to imagine..So, Ariel Atom with the supercharged K24?
It's a whole lot of car for a second hand price, then pump another 20k into it with mods.Why not buy an 86 and turbo it or buy one already turbo charged?
So I remembered that the engine had been left outside while I was laid up with broken bones the last time it was out of the car, and the flywheel bolt holes open directly into the crankcase. It got some rain water in it when its cover blew off. I never started it with water in the sump and it was removed and cleaned out during the engine install. But condensation got into things from the water that had gotten in.It's gotten in there somehow, something that someone has dismantled and washed maybe an oil cooler, or timing cover, unless there is a small leak in the engine that changes with heat.
Just don't. https://www.lotustalk.com/threads/evora-clutch-replacement-9-000-and-the-supercharger.123712/Or, a random:
2+2 Lotus with a Toyota engine, so at least that should be reliable while trim pieces fall off around you.
What’s wrong with the Beemer pump?For anyone interested in why you shouldn't own a BMW past its warranty period.
This is a 2000s M3 (E46) water pump.
They haven't improved since then.
This is a 1980-1990s Nissan RB series water pump next to it's fancy N1 motorsport brother.
Note that Nissan reduced the number of blades by 1 in the N1 for high rpm racing.

Err... What is your point here? People shouldn't own BMW's because they have water pumps? RB motors are superior because they share a similar water pump design to 70's pushrod V8's?For anyone interested in why you shouldn't own a BMW past its warranty period.

The engine has fallen off. I don't get it either. My E21 had a hard life for 15 years and cost me consumables (rear tyres were apparently limited to 8,000km) and a clutch throw out bearing nose because that had been machined (poorly) to suit a non genuine clutch.What’s wrong with the Beemer pump?
They have a funny habit of disintegrating with age and rpm. It's apparently the biggest source of BMW engine failures, especially in the M cars.Err... What is your point here?

Here's a engineering marvel of a coolant pump that ought to get your motor running!
...from a Commodore V6.
Such performance car!
