Dealership says that all 4 cams, all 32 lifters, and 1 of the 4 cam solenoids were replaced at 20,000 miles on this vehicle :cripes:

I'm going to tell you a secret. I am so loving boring with my attitude towards cars now. I'm selling the AMG because it brings me next to no joy. I would rather have the experience of rebuilding the old 130hp 5sfe and make it ol' reliable, than put anything more powerful in it.

I could be content driving the MR2 and the Comanche.

I suppose this is a form of Automotive Insanity, to love working on cars but have your taste be early 90s underpowered unique shitboxes.


Just to clarify, I only posted that because there's some good info on MR2's that is still applicible to NA

And honestly, underpowered shitboxes are the best AI. Despite with the array of turbocharged weaponry that I have running and available I prefer to drive and throw around a boxy wagon with a sad underpowered engine from 20 years ago. I have boxes filled with parts to make that awful toaster a hell of a lot more faster and.... I really cant be bothered. The old lovely Forester is honestly too much fun as it is

LS swaps are just so loving booooooooooooooring. Get the 911 and do something unique

(Bet you thought I was gonna say stick a Barra into it, didnt you?)

(Stick a 20B turbo into the Porsche. THAT'LL piss off a few purists)

In all seriousness tho, NSX all day on this one.
