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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
