they are nice kit cars - looks like it needs a bit of work - but once its looking mint, expect lots of heads turning.

MR2 engine will def go in nicely....rb25/26 would be better if it can fit and if u can put all the right parts in it - hell, you probalby dont even need a det or dett...just put a de - with 140 odd kws and 600kg it will fly! :P

edit: any interior pics?

Yes i have one interior pic but its with the seats removed and doesnt look that good but i will put it up.I was thinking of going rotary for this car but theres so much work involved so maybe down the line.Yes it does need a lot of restoration but then again i only paid $2500 for it :happy:

if its got a beetle motor a wrx engine or an EJ25 will be piss easy to install!

these are cool. use to be one in my area when i was young

I cant drive turbocharged car mate :P P plate restrictions.

Read an old magazine article on these years ago. Apparently the hydraulics failed in one of them and someone was stuck inside the car until they could do something about it. I can't remember the exact circumstances and what happened, but it sort of turned me off them.

Get an EJ20 or EJ25 non turbo then, they're a relatively simple engine to turbo later on if you wish, but even in non turbo form if you trick it up with an exhaust and intake it should have more than ample power to make that thing a ball tearer.

there are a few of them in town.

as for motor, you would need to see if the car has a engine size rating (the biggest motor you can put in that car). this would depend on state, etc.

yeh i think its 1.8L turbo or 2.5L N/A.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
