Lance has canned that project. Sold/selling all the bits off. Would've been a weapon though.

A mate races an Atlantic Starlet. Sequential flatshifting gearshift. Sounds amazing!!!
Check out Ingear Performance on FB for some vids.

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.

He has a Porsche now and is going to RWB spec it.
But he has plans for an old school mini too though lol

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.
