Even though the Fidanza had lasted a few years (and the clutch/pp still looked fine) we went back to a stock... been a few years since and it's still perfectly fine.

I've had a friend with his built "2"tge break the ring gear off 3 times... Fidanza won't even warranty them anymore and claims "there's a problem with his car" (yeah... it has 4 times the original power, high compression, and a heavy duty starter to get it going... apparently that means "problem")


plus that's $200 or so you could put towards cams or something useful
Sweet, I'll take a look in a bit, and yeah I had heard fidanza was no good. Yeah I want to do the whole motore including the head. For cams I'm thinking HKS, any insight?
