Nice coupe... :) now I miss mine even more... I swapped in an ej20g and fitted a FMIC... wasn't as well hidden as you're going for but it worked... had to run the fans in front of the radiator because of space issues... http://www.hi.is/~vladisla/polsa01.JPG http://www.hi.is/~vladisla/polsa02.JPG ht...

I'm running an AWD dual-range with 3.9 final ratio with my ej20g... seems to hold in fine and was an easy drop-in mod after I fried my A/T box... only had to shorten the driveshaft a bit and make a custom cross-member... the clutch seems to hold but an aftermakert setup would probably be better...

What he actually said is that you would need a lift kit to fit the 26'' tyres,I would be trying the 215 tyre first before buying as I am pretty sure they will still rub. With a 195/70/14 tyre on a unlifted MY wagon these tyres rubbed in some circumstances. Mike. that's what he's saying: "85 to 89 C...
