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.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
    • Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.
    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
