Hey man, great project, i had one of these GT Turbos that your engine is from........pocket rocket

when they imported these to ireland they were written down as standard 1.3
Been a jap engine will last a life time

I definitely like the look of this project! Seems that the engine and car are reasonably well matched to each other in terms of size. I see that apart from the very necessary subframe there has been some cutting of the inner wings, especially on the drivers side, but for an engine with end-on gearbox it seems to have fitted in amazingly well. Many of the engine conversions here seem to need a lot more body mods, because the engines are too bulky.

I wish you every success. No doubt we will see more such conversions....

Quick update.


Ive been pretty busy over the last couple of months but havent been updating the blog. I tend to do a big bunch of updates at once. Just posted a few updates on the blog and will post a few more in the next couple of days. In the latest posts ive been reinstalling engine components and such and revised over some of the systems. Heres a quick peek.
