i was being sarcastic lol.

Just bought local buy sell and found absolutely nothing. Really wanting a dirty ol starlet rolling chassis, or one with poked motor or something!

Even a banger with no wof would be ok aslong as plates are live i guess.

its pretty hard finding a good starlet these days, the first one i saw i got it on the spot, because it was mint, big project car though, now i have no time for it

maybe up for sale soon too :wink:

there was a white one on trademe a month ago, it was dirt cheap, something like $600 with dead motor, who ever got it, got a bargain.

dont nock the 12a man, it will be cooler and quicker than a 2t or 4age.

by **Madaz** » Sun Sep 27, 2009 10:39 pm

yeah the old schoolers are getting so hard to find.

Ideally i wanted to do a ae85(dont we all?), DX corolla, or the starlet.

Even a mazda 808 wagon with rx2 nosecone and 12a, or a B1600 ute.

All are proving very difficult to find project bases.

If i find a decent old school toyota its prob gonna be a weekend track beast/fun car.

If i get a mazda, ill do it for looks and sell it when finished.

Was keeping it on the quiet in case I wanted it, but in this month's petrolhead mag there is a AE85 4A project in Rotorua for $300, could be a good base for someone

if it was anywhere in the south island i would be there like a shot.

there is one in Nelson for sale.....8g. Hmmm

just had an epiphany....the older version MR2 used a 4AGE...with a rwd box correct?

It seems reasonably common. Would this be easy enough to use?

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 4:31 pm

just how much do you know about toyotas?

AW11 MR2 is Mid Mounted so has what is essentially a fwd gbox.

theres a nice 86 in dunedin for sale think he wants like 10 plus for it. text if u r interested 0274531296

by **Madaz** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 5:45 pm

so im thnking ill need:

rooted starlet
4age engine of any variety
intake manifold
t50 gearbox from an AE86 which would work with the existing crossmember(modified).
engine mounts and loom conversion

that pretty much cover it?

How much easier does it make it if i dont use an EFI 4age?

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 5:50 pm

all 4ages are EFI... unless you spend upwards of $1000 on carbs etc.
i spose it is possible you may find someone selling an engine already set up....

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:43 pm

Yup there is a carbed 4AG on Club K for sale still (I think), wants about $1500 or so.

EFI good, Carbs bad.

Why have crap performance and fuel economy when all the EFI stuff is available and cheap? There aren't that many wires involved.

by **Madaz** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 7:36 pm

this is true.

efi it is i guess. it will prob be wired by a pro anyhow so...meh.

Which model do i need the intake manifold off? AE86 the only one?

Cause some people are manly enough to have awesome induction noise

by **rollaholic** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 8:34 pm

you can use any intake manifold, the FWD ones can be cut n shut to make them face the other direction. main thing is to match inlet manifold to the head.

if you are set on a 16v i would be looking for a smallport if i were you - came in AE92 truenos / fxgts etc (though some got redtop bigports so one to watch out for)

smallports dont have TVIS badge on the inlet manifold
