sad to hear your braking the car up.... would you not prefer to keep your silvia as it is and use that as well as have the ae86??? I have never seen your car but from what i have seen of it in pics i would say its an awesome looking example of a s12

Don't do that, i want your wheels and engine! As for the weight of AE86, 950kg for the coupe, think the hatch about 20kg more, thats fully loaded with the interior. With a serious diet i think 700kgs would easily be achievable. As for power there are lots of options, a common engine conversions is 2.0 3S-GE from a MR2 non turbo or lexus/altezza IS200. Personally i would leave the 4AGE. With the right knowledge and money you can make them rev to that magic 10,000rpm with about 200bhp+ in extreme examples i've see 220bhp. So stripped out and tuned to the extreme thats a power to weight ratio of 285bhp per tonne and a 06 BMW M3 is about 220 bhp per tonne. I think you should get one, if you don't like it just put it in a garage for a 6 months and it will of doubled in value

Better off supercharging it and getting some torque

Really easy to do, the 4AGZE is a supercharged version of the for 4AGE. which can be found in Supercharged mk1 MR2s, Bolts straight in I'd stick with NA tho

nice little youtube vids there. the ones on youporn are good too


Sorted my engine. It had slipped 2 teeth on the cambelt. I will have to look into why this has happened. Possibly something has got down inside the lower belt cover. I will still pull it apart for a nose and to take pics of all the build for anyone who wants it,but this will be the last thing i do,i have claires civic to strip down aswell. At least i get to enjoy it a bit more for the next 2 weeks before it comes apart now


On the upside ive found a g plate mk2 manual with 35k on the clock so that will be my concourse car. I will break the black one up within the next two weeks so anyone who wants anything start saving.

claire wants me to get the trueno rather than the levin, What one do you lot prefere?
