hello peps not been on here for few months, life in general has stopped me from that, well i love minis and deff my mini, but the time has come to start another project, jap this time, more to say a drift car, i have just bought an 1985 toyota ae86 corolla gtv, its bloody rare and the jap icon car but more to say its rwd, stock it had lsd/1.6 twin ohc, 5sd box kick out 130bhp, now i also bought nissan s13, and last weekend put the nissan 170bhp 1.8 twin ohc turbo engine into the toyota! a first in this country i believe, and now the hard work of electrics and water pipes and general bits pieces starts!!

i thought i would post little description about it as i like to know myself what other cars mini owners enjoy or would like to own and modify if atal so i thought i would share minie, now most of u probs will have no idea what this car is but its a very cool retrocar and in my 5years of driving i have never seen one!! cheers dan

Dan totally off subject... but the old engine.. would you mind taking a picture of that?
Im after some bits and peices for my mr2.. and from what i can gather they used the same engine!

Id obviously part with some money!

That is noice, I see you are from sittingbourne, you may have seen me around in my mates JAP toyota mr2 (gunmetal silver vesile kit ), often over sittingbourne way now and again almost breaking 700 brake at the fly.

I am looking into getting a 200sx soon. Hope to see the car in the meat some time. Might see you about!

old engine and box still together and complete amd willing to sell if needed, plus loads of 200sx parts, mr bungle sorry if u do not agree with my project or other peps cars apart from minis, i also know this mini forum but why have section for other cars then!! i love minis but also love other cars, my mini has cost far more than this will ever cost to built and mini was more evolved, built for speed and thats it, this also has some purpose but more day 2 day aswell, my mini worries the poo out of me when i drive it and for that i grin ear to ear, but im hoping this also cool old retro car will do the same!! plus i can drift ok know so more power and who knows!! anuway thanks for comments! and will post progress pics too!!
