AN F8B SWAP IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO UPGRADE, and the least expensive

Sorry, no performance parts available for the F5A. If you want to charge it then you're better off with the AMR300.

u think the 300 would be better. i was thinking the 300 might be over reved to produce 8pound at higher rpm. i am gonna post up a few pics of how the old girl looks atm, i have done nothing apart from rego it.

The 300 is perfect for engines around 5-700cc and will give you instant torque. You just need to get the pulley ratio right... and regraph the dissy to avoid the masses of pinging you're likely to get with a suck through setup.

hmm after takin the ute to inglewood on the week end a 800 might not be a bad idea.. how much better is the box for the highway and is it still a 4spd or 5 spd, is the conversion a bolt in swap ? .

lol just about flat bickie all the way there n back to do 100k/h.
also chewed nearly a tank in 214km dose that sound right. i know its only a little tank but its a little motor 2..

what stuffs out there for a f8 motor ?

cheers alex
