Default GM powered Rex

I look around in the Grassrootsmotorsport classified section cause they usually have some pretty cool stuff. Found this and thought it was pretty different
http://www.grmotorsports.com/board/v...ic.php?t=19554
-2.3L HO Quad 4 (180 HP published)
-3T40 trans with Trans Star shift kit
-Tokico Illumina 5-Way adjustable shocks
-Eibach springs in rear 250 lbs/in
-Mugen 27mm torsion bars in front
-Custom built long tube header
-Kuhmo V700's 235 45 r13's
-Hawk Blue Brake Pads
-Autopower 6 point roll cage
-Aluminum racing seat
-Battery relocated to rear
-Battery kill switch
-Interior delete



Pop your hold and tell them you've got a DOHC and then watch their faces go WTF is that Then tell them it's mad JDM cause it's got the 5 lug swap upfront. lol.

I've heard quite a few times that quad-4 are shitty engines.

Interesting swap though

high outputs arn't shitty at all.. probably the best of the quads. pretty sure they hit like 700whp stock block and broke the land-speed record quite a few times

cheaper than a bseries or hseries, I read on the site that it was a $2005 challenge car. Pretty cool for under $2005 invested

I saw that car before on Q4F; I always thought GM needed a lighter plant for the motor.




And the L40 caused the Quad 4 bad name, along with the LD2 era 1995
