AAARRRRGGGHHHH getting stressed now. After talking to different people and doing more research i really cant decide Car or Bike engine

Yeah i've looked into it and it would have to be an aftermarket ECU. but i'm seriously liking the idea of a Lexus donor now if i up it to the IS300 they have the 2JZ-GE engine which is a non turbo version of the 2JZ-GTE which can be found in Toyota Supra's apart from not having turbos alot of...

Another possibility I've looked into is using a Lexus is200 as a donor as they are front engined rwd what's peoples thoughts on this and how tuneable is the Lexus engine. If I remember right these have either a 2ltr 4 cylinder or a straight 6 Toyota engine in so should be fairly tuneable

Which thread? Lol I'm not here to challenge anyone just here for useful tips and advice. But interested in reading Steve's thread if it a similar project could be really helpful to me

Welcome from across the sea's

Hello and welcome

Cheers. I will keep you all updated once I finally start the project. Its in planning stages at the moment so not much going on apart from fact finding and getting all the materials together for the chassis but once I start the fabrication stage I'll start a new thread and keep everyone updated

Been looking a bit more into the bike engine idea as reverse boxes are pretty easy to get hold of plus the big plus side is the power to weight ratio would make the project with a nicely tuned bike engine have awesome bhp per ton. My only issue is I can't find anywhere that explains how the gear...

Yeah I was thinking that too. 911s will be hard to come by nowadays I think I'm swaying more to the mr2 turbo and look at a bit of adaption and trying to mount it rear to mid to try help with the balance. Then maybe add alittle ballast front end

Is it possible to adapter or convert any auto tranny with manual override to work with paddle shifters?

I'm fabricating the chassis myself so chassis isn't really an issue as I will be able to position the mounts to accommodate virtually any engine the main issue is height. A smart with an mr2 engine Jesus Im Surprised it didn't shake all its plastic bits off lol

I have looked into a bike engine the only issue is with wanting it road legal I'd preferably need a reverse which means adding a reverse box. As for small engine I'd considered a smart four two engine mainly for cost wise as I could use a majority of the car as a donor car but also I want...

I am in the process of building a road legal car from scratch. Very similar to the super 7 but im adapting mine slightly to look more like the Ariel Atom. My issue is do i go Rear engine RWD or Front Engine RWD or FWD Also the car will only weight around 900kg so do i go smallish engine and...

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. My name is Mike. I'm from sunny studley in Warwickshire (well its been bloody sunny the last few days lol) I'm in the process of build a road legal car from scratch similar to the super 7 cars. But will be modifying it to look more like an Ariel atom. I have...
