Yep the CA18DET + AWD would have been infinitely better than the 4K. Except it wouldn't have gone forever...

oh 4k powah cho... they probly found a mean dx and put the rota in it insted

but seriously our bluebird went way faster then my corolla does, even the ca16 was faster till i blue the big end.. wait no even then it was, i should go start it up and give it a race lol

would be good for a 4age conversion lol scynce you can buy setups for ke's it would bolt straight in haha!

Interesting

The cert would have cost at least 4 times the engine.
