power play this weekend time to destroy some tires

ohh hell yeah

yep 30psi of boost and 185 14 inch tires here we come

well 30psi does ruin 185 tyres in a hurry who would have thought. had a good day drove there and drove home so got te be happy with that

Did you get any videos man.

+1 for want of vids man :)

a mate has some videos on facebook but he couldnt get them to upload to youtube

ive been having thoughts about if i cage this car or start on something that is lighter and will be easier to make faster later on, so I'm trying to think what car to do. it has to weigh 1000kg standard for a 1jz conversion to be legal as it will be registered and a big enough engine bay for a straight 6 engine. my first thoughts are early celicas i think ra28 was just over 1000kg from factory also something like xt130 corona which is probably around 1100kg. other things that crossed my mind were early hilux but I'm not sure if engine bay is big enough and i don't mind the look of s13 silvia but not sure if a could bring myself to owning a nissan. if i can get a car to weigh around 1300kg with a similar engine setup that i have now should be able to break the 9.5 second barrier no dramas using a standard 1jz a340 toyota box and hilux diff.

i could do the usual and put a 2jz bottom end in mine and make another 100-150hp and would be fairly cheap, but not sure how long the gearbox would like it and i really like the 1jz engine more.

other option is to build a forged motor for the cortina so i can push it abit further than planned

If you hadnt already seen this on Toymods.

Edit: Didnt realise it was the FS thread.

yeh i know of that car, would be something similar to that with around 600rwhp

werent the fully optioned ke70s around 1000? I'm sure a 1j fits too

ill do some more research.

 

Nope 925kg (sure ive seen 1j Ke70s around somewhere)

 

series 1-3 rx7's are spot on 1000kgs from memory

 

so are ae86's

 

Lj torrie is 1100kg

 

or you could go really sleeper and get a volvo 240!!!

 

E30 beemers are 1050ish

didnt think of ae86 will see if i can find what they weigh

Depending on the Corolla's trim level and transmission, the curb weight of the AE86 can range from 2,300 pounds (1045kg) to 2,400 pounds(1090kg).
