The FJs are my personal favorite, but there's no way I'd choose one over an SR these days. 10 years ago yes, but not anymore. FJs have achieved the "Rare as Hens Teeth" status which makes them a far more frustrating and expensive proposition than an SR. SRs are everywhere which means easy to get parts for and cheap.

SRs are also capable of massive horsepower.

SR - for a proven and well documented way to go. Should be fairly good on such a light car and you wouldnt need to push the motor more than 180-200rwkw to have an absolute beast of a machine.

13B - Something different, will sound absolutely awesome but at the same time alot more complicated than the SR.

All depends on what you want out of it, if you just want a fun, reasonably fast car with a minimal budget id go the SR any day of the week.

I was under the impression the 120o was a domestic name for the 120?

It badged as a 120Y.

Yeah, im aware it will cost quite a bit, i think it is worth it and id love to have such a unique track car.

I was also considering a 13BT conversion, as this is quite popular, and should be quite nice for sliding.

Im looking for 150-170kw all up, if theres any other, cheaper, setups i could consider to get this sort of power would be great?

Its a very light car, and wouldnt need any more power than this to get it sideways.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
