May 5, 200521 yr comment_42468 Mid-engined, cool. It's similar to something I've been planning. Except I reckon when I get around to doing it I'll use someone's unwanted 4A-C or 4A-F with a 5-speed FWD gearbox. That way it'll be shorter than the one this guy's trying to sell. Plus I can always upgrade to a 4A-G later on (with twin Webers, just because I can!) Report
May 5, 200521 yr comment_42480 puts the mid back into mid engine! certainly one way to take care of a rusty old ke70 :) Report
May 5, 200521 yr comment_42491 Mid engine isn't as hard as everyone thinks... Get front wheel drive package, mid mount it and the CV's will stick out where you want your rear wheels :D My thoughts exactly. And if you wanted to go crazy :) you could make it 4WS (4-Wheel Steering). But you'd have to reduce the rear steering ratio somewhat, otherwise it might be a bit difficult to control (REALLY sensitive steering). Report
May 5, 200521 yr comment_42510 yeah, hicas is wierd to get sideways with. my mate mitch has an r33 gts-t with basic mods. if you nail it the right way, the lsd kicks in and both wheels spin, the car kicks sideways and the hicas corrects, but overcorrects, then tries to correct that, and overcorrects again. you end up driving down the road, front wheels pointed straight, back just constantly fishtailing side to side until you back off and grab traction Report

May 6, 200521 yr comment_42569 Doesn't matter whether you start with an MR2 or a generic Corolla, same thing. And if you were going to do that, why not go for a 2ZZ? :) Edited May 6, 200521 yr by demuire Report
May 6, 200521 yr comment_42608 mate made a scratch built one with a telstra engine http://users.tpg.com.au/~buggzy/gemi/gocart1.jpg its ghetto but crazy, Report
May 6, 200521 yr comment_42609 i think that's telSTAR :) imagine a telstra engine. put your foot down and it sounds like a ringing phone Report
May 6, 200521 yr comment_42621 ahahaha yeah thats the one. My heads a bit all over the place at the moment. you just acell and it lights up the wheels. He had to let front tyres down to slow it down a bit (No brakes at the moment) Report
May 14, 200521 yr comment_43789 should have picked a better engine than a 4K... I recon a big bike engine (500cc+) would be the way to go... And steer away from using car parts/wheels...too heavy. Report
