They should be putting 4G63 motors in there.

correction they should be putting a ZE in there and boosting it..
You know nick(slammedpgt from probetalk), down in appleton got 308whp and 290wtq @ 5psi with his DE???
think of that festiva with a ZE in it is an easy low/mid 13 second car STOCK, now boost it, add in some drag tires, and you've got an easy 11-12 second car.. guys are doing that all the time with mazda 323's and boosted escort hatchs

and correction sarge.. that doesnt look like a ZE motor.. thats got a DE intake manifold on it which is the US spec 164hp motor that came in the pgt's... the ZE has a curved or long straight neck intake manifold

That's a DE that he got for free for mock-up and fitment before he puts the ZE in.

I'd still go with a 4G63. More room ... less heat... stronger... more aftermarket support.

Even though I am not aware of any tranny problems.... I would say that is reason enough to buy an brand new evo and enjoy the 10 year/100k mile warranty.

^ and $400 a month payments. It is stupid to pay more than 10K for a car.

You can't take it with you so why let it pile up in the bank?

So when you lose your job you can still have food, heat, and cloths. You think the economy is bad? Just wait, the worst is yet to come!

I'm not arguing because I don't understand the indicators... all the big shots claim it has turned around and we are now moving away from rock bottom.

Now... if our welfare case president makes additional bad decisions then we could things get alot worse.

lol, no shit. That was a good decision...make a black man a president during a recession.
If we really wanted to turn the economy around, we should have elected a jewish guy at the least.
