Go for it if you are in love , i have owned both a sr20det, 1jzgte and 1jzge rx8s .... sr20 is way way way overrated (some of that due to me) i will take a 1j over sr20 any day. 1jzge will be the most reliable and controllable, 1jzgte would be the most fun ......... bump steer is not an issue in reality (just an Internet thing) ..... no idea about fresh import

sr20 is just for the drive in which you want fun with not much skills but it can never give you the amount of fun that jz gives and that recquires skills

@ doc.tarzan
Tell me your experience of 8's with sr20 so I can start looking for rx8s

yes .... there is not much difference in handling of a sr20 or a 1jz ... 1jz is more powerful plus sr20 sounds like a diesel while 1jz has a sweet sound and you can easily find parts for a jz setup ....... the best combo will be a 1jzgte mated to r154 though an rx tranny would be fine too ... things to look for
listen for ball bearing sound in suspension
listen to "karr karr" voice when going slow on small bumps for steering baxa work
look for rpm and speedometer that they are properly calibrated
feel for jerky tranny shifts (doesnt matter if it has upgraded clutch)
go above 120km/h and feel that it does not feel as if it is lifting its nose
with ac on spend some time in city traffic so that it does not heat up
make sure ABS works
do some hard braking and feel that the brakes dont stick and the brake disc are not too hot (brake survey problems)
look for too much wear and tear on brake discs (due to usage of local made brake pads)

Stock hardly gives 6km/l .... sr20 will give 10-11 while 1jzgte will give 8-10
i mean if it has r154 gear that it the best combo with 1jzgte otherwise rx own gear is fine too

[levin]

Many ppl ask the same question. 10 mai mil rhi hy, 11 mai mil rhi hy, lay lon? i always try to convince them otherwise. unless in top notch condition, buying a sports car is useless. these cars shud be able to take some beating (in performance terms) and still be reliable AND good looking. most 8s there days have huge ugly bumper extentions, 2/1jz engines with turbochargers, massive traction issues and totally out of balance. i just cannot forget the video of that rx7 from karachi that lost control due to bump steer and went into a pole. Thankfully the owner survived but the car was gone! the cause was mainly engine swap and alterations. trust me, its not worth doing. if u dont have the money, wait for some time and spend atleast 1.7-2 million pkr for really nice ones....

The linearity of the bump steer curve is important. If it is not straight then the length of the tie rod needs to be adjusted.
Bump steer can be made more toe out in bounce by lifting the rack or dropping the outer tie rod, if the rack is in front of the axle. The reverse applies if the rack is behind the axle. Usually only small adjustments (say 3mm) are required.

Oh thank you @doc.tarzan

R154 is rare as hen's teeth these days.
Only lucky ones get hold of it

bro body dkhna lenay waly ka kaam hai...engine and suspension is not a priority when i look for a car body should be perfect always because a major accidented car will always have a problem in it even if the work is done by an expert

look on the international forums for it because many people have done this internationally and they know better about it
btw its auto so it will be merely easy to handle than a manual...auto is for just fun drive and manual is when you want to go sliding on the roods

[ashbal]

and yes do look for the feeling of nose getting up as doc mentioned because it clearly tells its a bad swap...but concidering the weight of 1uz there will be a slight chance of this happening

[saadalex]

@saadabdulrahim
I have time to modify the car now so i will try my best
@ashbal
Good body of rx8 2003 is very hard to find
And 1uzfe does 261 hp and stock does 232
Getting attractions towards stock
2006 rx8 1150 red I will also contact him
It is stock so what should I look for in this
And its manual
@doc.tarzan @levin @ashbal @saadabdulrahim
I saw a chip on ebay saying
Garanteed 30 mpg and add 85 hp
Will it do it or its just a scam
If I bought rx8 on sep I will start mods on nov
And I believe from valves to engine intercooler to exhaust every part will leads towards power

[tk10]

doc.tarzan,

Would you suggest 1jzge or sr20det in automatic transmission or manual?

Anyone know any of these on sale currently in khi.

Thanks to doc tarzan I am convinced 1jzge would be best option for me.

[saadalex]

thanks all of you guys for great effort and I am gonna bother you again just wait
