The V6 debate

[General Baxter]

iv done a search and nothing really come up

do dont care about corners SO SHUT IT

just what is involed in fitting
iv just put the rocker cover up against my 1.6 engine and its tiny

i would say the gearbox mounts and drive shafts the same as an Xe conversion, i would fit an F20 anyway!

the main worry would be the rear exhaust manifold on the steering rack and the drivers side mount any idea?

Put it in the pickup bed!

[Philsutton]

not sure, havent done one myself but you may as well take the rack off as it isnt going to go round a corner

He doesn't finish them, he just fits them, spends 10k on making them look nice, then removes them and thinks what else he can fit.

I was up at Crail a few week back and there was a laddo with a 2.6 V6 in a 3 door Saloon, was pretty quick as well !!
Had a good look under the bonnet and theres a lot more room than i thought, he said it wasnt that much work than a normal 16v, the only bits that seemed to take up loads of room were the cam covers but that only needed a bit of trimming on the slam panel, theres loads of room down the cam belt side as well even up the back against the clutch cable & heater matrix hoses theres a fair bit or room, he never said he had any probs with the exhaust either.
Get it chucked in !!!!!!

theres the guy on here doing it aswell, think its cavturbomike or somethink like ?? ive got him on msn so ill ask him

[jamie gsi16v]

why not do summet simple that you can actually get running and work? why a v6? ino its a 2.5/3.0 but there not quick, too heavy, sluggish, just stick a redtop on 45s or a c20let in and get the car on the road for once, forget this general baxter, more like general disaster!!!
