yeah seen the irish sr20det conversion but some much cutting of body is needed and i want to keep body in one pixece as much as i can, plus ca18det with rebuilt engine runs as good as sr20 without rocker slapping noise and i only want 230-250 safe bhp as car light, bout 930 kg, and no weight on rear end, plus sr20 been done in uk ca has not!! but thanks for comments peps should have more pics soon

i wonder why anyway. how is it going? any more picces? what are you going the 4A-GE by the way?

lol, yeah... and to see what driftings really like watch tokyo drift


Initial D's good (i.e the anime/manga) yet they really balls'd up the film imo, but it wasnt made by the same company, let aone the same country. I could rant on for ages but essentially you are right it features a panda trueno with a mint 4A-GE.. i still own the film mind. since otherwise i wouldnt have the entire collection now then would i... *claps*

if you really want to see what the hachi's are like i'd recommend looking at some of the Best Motoring DVD's and Video Options. I also think you'll find on youtube a video of 3 hachis against a R33 GTR.

i can already drift the hatchi, i know what its like, main reason for engine swap is cheap easy bhp, rather than expensive n/a power, like in my mini!!! i would love to tune the 4-age engine but not got that kinda money!! initial d good film but l;ike most films trying to show a culture its not that good!!! and i spend hours on youtube and google video watching drifting!!!

[mighty_mini]

I was more aiming it at dom, but now im more interested in meeting up sometime i wouldnt say i can drift yet.. more K1 than anything else since im still sorting out my car.

[CanadianMiniFan]

Nice car, it different than the AE86 i'm used to seeing in tuner mags (my bro is into them) with their pop up headlights. Don't rice it out, keep it clean, maybe a lip kit and then a nice paintjob. Make it about the motor and then your drift set up. Get some nice alloys, definately leave the chrome at home. Cool swap, dunno if i would do that but you never know! And to the person (iforget who) who thougth the MR2 had the same engine i dont' think so. the MR2 has a rear mounted engine so how would it be the same. Isn't it a 3S-GTE in the MR2. O well i dunno

[mighty_mini]

yup. Mk2 MR2's ran a supercharged 4A-GE... although hardcore AE86 owners would call this blasphemy. what i want to know is.. will this 4A-GE be going in your mini

[ed4ran]

the supercharged one is a 4a-gze isnt it?

Are you sure. I'm pretty sure i've heard 3S-GTE and MR2 in the same sentence alot...well you probably know more than i do...the 4A-GE in Mini wasn't directed at me right?
