Ok, well i've been mulling it over for quite a while now, and i've decided that i WON'T be selling my piss clean eg8 in favor of another DSM.

Now that i've gotten that out of the way, i have to decide what i'm going to do. As of now, it is burning a bit of oil here and there, and after some diagnosis, trustdestruction seems to think its the valve stem seals, so that means its gettin a top end swap.

Here are the options i've been considering:

~get another b7 head with a A6 cam and Y8 cam gear

~Z6 head and go mini-me

~Z6 head with a Vtec killer cam in it

~Do a complete engine swap....(not crazy about that)


The only thing that is lurkin in the back of my mind, was that the previous owner said it had some recent top end work done to it. however, he also said the only thing the car needed was a tie-rod, and it ended up needing almost a ground-up front end rebuild


lemme know what u guys think! :cool:

standard Z6 mini me. or you can do a JDM D15B head mini-me for a little more power. (has a bigger cam than the Z6, pretty much the only difference)

I'm not sure how easy the wiring is. You're gonna want to try to stick with an OBD1 head.
