Default My 16v Saffy

Hi fellas. Kinda new on here, but been on FSOC for years, so some of you might know me. I'm currently rebuilding my 1.6 Azura Saph into a 2 liter DOHC 16v.
Originally, the engine started off in this car, originally a 2.0 GLS

Unfortunatly, the car was rotten so last week she was stripped and scrapped

The engine will now be dumped into this car

But not untill she's been repainted into Frozen white. Plans are to rebuild her from the ground up with as much new or refurbed stuff as I can find. The only Cossy parts will be the grill and the boot spoiler. It's not a cossy, so I'm not trying to make it look like one!

The engine. Sierra bottom end, Scorpio head. Effectivly an RS2K engine as it gives the same power with a similar compression. I'm using the Scorpio VIS manifold, which helps the intake, and the exhaust has a 4 branch (custom as there ain't one for this type) and the full sdtainless Piper exhaust.

Will update more as it gets done, but the donor is still being stripped so it'll be a while untill it goes for paint.
So what do you think? Not the most powerful, but certainly different!!!
