T4r. It's only tossing around ideas at the moment but I've got a rough plan of what I want done.

First thing I plan on doing is swapping out the engine from this:



to this:



At first I wanted to keep the 4ALC because it's a pretty rev happy little thing, bulletproof and fun as fuck to drive, but it only makes 78HP and even if I decided to just upgrade the parts it wouldn't put out much more. At the moment I struggle with maintaining the highway speed limit (~65 for you bongs/burgers) up hills. If somebody wants to cut me off I'm unable to be a cheeky cunt and defend the spot because flooring it in my car gives only marginally better acceleration than a normal car driving like they have a crate of glasses in the back.

The 4AGEs are fantastic engines too, you can find them in the sportier model of my car (AE82 Corolla) but are probably better known for being a power plant in the AE86 Trueno. They're close to identical to the ones Ford used in the Sierra RS Cosworth. If you wanted you could get it pretty close to 500HP, but I'm only looking for 240 because that'll still be super nutty in a sub-tonne FWD.

Aside from that I'll upgrade the Wheels, Suspension, Brakes and do a few other tweaks, on top of a few aesthetic changes. I'll update this thread and document everything when I get around to it, but it'll probably be a little while.
