Flaminsam Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 A lexus v8 would have been better I think. Quote
Jhandy Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Deffo lol. I have just done a cambelt on my step dads v8 Lexus she's a beast Quote
MARC MOSS Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 A lexus v8 would have been better I think.Why?? Rover v8 is an amazing engine and alloy as well... That's why the likes of tvr used them..What is so good about the Lexus v8 ? Quote
Jhandy Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 The Lexus v8 don't break down LOL. Quote
Flaminsam Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Rover v8's are a dated engine. Technology changes and quite a lot of development has gone into modern day v8's. Good on the bloke for putting the v8 in the lil starlet though. Quote
MARC MOSS Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Well u learn something new everyday... Rover v8's unreliable ..?I suppose it's just how it's built, the Lexus has more potential yea quad cams etc but the rover v8 is a very special piece of v8 history and still makes good power when tuned right Quote
Jhandy Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah they have over heating problems. It's a rover dude. Yeah true they are a piece of history and yeah they can fly when built and nodded right Quote
Flaminsam Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I agree marc. Tuned right they are a cool engine. But in stock form they are a bit of a old school engine. The lexus v8 has also been re vamped recently. The is-f for instance twin turbo v8. I guess the rover v8 has a legacy as it was widely versitile in everything from sports cars to prestige to off road. Quote
