RedTop Engine?

[filh]

Well , I was thinking about a 7 ribs block, but if it revs slower , that won't be very interesting for me . The old 3 ribs block is very reliable too , but
with high mileage , there are no miracles .

Getting high comp pistons is very expensive . They come from US , Hong kong or else , and each time I buy there , i'm caught by belgian customs.

Example of my last purchase on Ebay : a small port adapter plate .
I pay 51 dollars (without shipping ) and the belgian customs charged me a 37,75€ for it .That's about the same as the item value!

Yes , a 4AG(EULZTE) is very nice and pleasant and I wouldn't change for else , but when I ' driving in rallies races , cars like ma are rare and out of fashion . The winning cars in 1600cc classes are : Peugeot 106 16v
Citroen Saxo , or Opel Corsa(Nova) gti. Due to their new generation engines and low weight .
My Ae86 weight is ...: 1125kg , and I wasn't in!And the above cars all weight between 800 and 900kg.
But i'm a RWD driver and handbrake addict ..
That's all folks

Wow thats a lot of added weight...I'm fairly certain you can get that down to around 800kgs too, but it wouldn't be cheap...

Who cares..looks like your still having fun to me!

filh, thats to much task, I don't think thats right?? What was the shipping on that?

Within the EU there are rules about what EU countries can and can't tax. For importing from outside of the EU countries are allowed to apply an import tax and your normal VAT tax. That can't be more then 20 to 30% over the original value. The tax is usually applied over the item value + shipping costs so if you had high shipping costs then I can understand the high tax but else they f'ed up...
