hey everyone,

Iv seen your website afew times before and u have some prety good articles on here so i thought id sign up.

I just turned 16 a couple of weeks back and i got my L's on the day and iv been wanting a 92 GX Liberty AWD manual for my first car for about a year now but i cant find a sedan awd manual 4 a decent price. Anyway when i get some decent dosh im gonna start my search for my 92. I have plans for it. I wanna make a strong N/A engine with very competent handling.

anyway hope to talk to some of you soon.

Have a read on *my* views of the EJ20 as well. Got to realise that the GX is basically a family car (not that I treat mine like one hehe)

go for the GX 92 liberty if u like it...

it will be a good started car.. expecially the AWD and manual..

look at maybe putting the RS front bumper on it with fog lights..

now that would look good..

but dont go putting a RS bonnet

Your on the right track with the Suspension idea mate. Its really the only worth while path to travel with a NA H4.

Although, there is a few mods you can do yourself that will make the car a bit more lively and fun to drive.

NA H4's aren't very responsive to engine modifications, you can make them better, but not by much. And to get big Horse power out of them, you need to spend big $$$$. It simply isn't worth it.

yea iv been thinkin of doing all that along with some nolothane bushes. some more get up and go would b good aswel while keeping it N/A but richo_bestos article that i read is abit of an eye opener as to how little power u can extract from N/A 4 cyls with out forced induction. 1 of my m8s bros said i could look at a supercharger 4 it and as much as i rekon that would b cool i think it would cost abit

Re: liberty hopefull

Supercharging doesn't work very well with these engines.
if you want to go forced induction, turbo's are the way to go.
Do some research and send some PM's, and figure out which way you want to go.
as you've only JUST got you L's,  you should settle with a gutless NA for a bit. As i'm sure a lot of people here will agree, much to your disgust I'm sure, you do suck as a driver.

if you want some help here and there you can contact me via PM or MSN: suprauc@hotmail.com

My car has a full exhaust and CAI, and still only makes around 72kw.

Dont get me wrong, it goes much better than stock. But to get more power is a lot more money, for not much change in Kw's.

Suspension is were its at, and then when you can, Convert it to turbo.
