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.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
