RoCo Performance AE86 V8

[roco]

well guys starting the thread on the new build, Europe's First V8 ae86. now some people will like the idea some will hate it, but ive always had a thing for the v8 engine and the ae86, so why not combine the two? this is my build over the last few weeks, getting ready for Prodrift/D-rift, and time attack, + hopefully a few rounds abroad!

basicaly starting off with a trueno ae86,
1uzfe 8cyl, 32v Quadcam, have to keep her toyota!
4 stud s13 rear axle, to keep same wheel fitment
supra w58 gearbox.

this is what i started off with.

[roco]

started to trip her down back in january, to see what i have to work with?



then cut up the back end, choped the floor and the chasis mount for the panhard rod!

[roco]

new custom belhousing for w58 to fit the 1uz.

[roco]

new custom flywheel. to fit 1uz, but to take a 3sgte clutch.

new stage 4 racing clutch:

new tension rods
