Formula Atlantic motor or something
Wouldn’t mind the gearbox
like a go kart for the road :)
Awesome car, love the gearbox, nothing much going on under 8K though.
Think its a newer build with a cylinder head from Finland (they love rallying them over there too), but similar result.Quote:

Possibly the video, that thing was movingQuote:

Here's the local NZ equivalent. Built to Trash fits it so well. These kiwis are having a ball!

Built To Thrash: A Homebrewed Hayabusa KP61 - Speedhunters
Years & years ago when video cameras were quite big & recorded onto cassette thingys with brown tape stuff inside, I had one mounted in my race cars.Quote:

Wonderful madness really. Silliest thing I've had was a turbo MX5 putting 250+bhp to the rear wheels, it was pretty quick too.
Used to have a Toyota Levin bzr with the 4age blacktop, good little car low 6's 0-100. Not bad considering it's a naturally aspirated 1.6 then I put the conrod through the case whoops.
There's a guy in Oamaru with a very lightweight drysumped k24a build in the midst. So cool, I had so much fun in one of those with just a 4k...Quote:

One of these engines was the basis of the anime "Initial D", which was also made into a live action movie
Amusing Japanese drift show.
Boooooo all the hard stuff done too. Last I heard about that guy, he'd hired a tank for the santa parade hahahaha good formQuote:

Haha if its the guy I'm thinking of he always has some project on the go even if some of them never get finished before he starts the next one.
Lol that's hard case, used to put honda accord engines into eb1 civics, they went pretty well (read could do standstills in 3rd gear easy) was wanting to do a turbo version but my brain started to mature and recognize that the stretching of the body around the doors was probably a sign more chassis was needed...
I put a 4AGE in a 84 Starlet over 20 years ago and it was an awesome little car that never let me down and was a lot of fun.
