[u:dfa7388cc6]This[/u:dfa7388cc6] thread has shops that carry everything from lexan hatch windows, all the way to radiatior caps. I'm sure you can find what you need in the shops on that list.

cheers Evil3elf
found something interesting already
Toyota 4A-GE
20v Black Top

how had is it to fit one of these engines or is it fairly straiht forward. does it overly affect the handling of the car or is it fine?

what scope is there for further modifications to the engine once this has been done

i notice they also seen the bell housing for the supra gear box is this as straight forward as i have heard some people say or isnt it as easy as that
there with those 2 i just blew 1500 quid tasty then have to get a supra gearbox as well shaping p nice wouldny you say

Both cars are basicly same...
I 'd say go for the white one

[The Big Yin]

If you even have that question in your head I question how much you like the hachi .

u mean that in a good way or a bad way lol,
i think it looks like an interesting conversion but is it worth the time and effort of doing the work,
i always have like the 86 even since before i seen Initial D but i am also looking for a way to make the car mine @ the same time

Here in Greece we have a saying:
"Akoma den ton eidame, Gianni ton vaptisame"
which means:
"He is not even borned yet, and you named him John",
if you know what I mean...

Have you ever driven a Hachi?
Have you got enough RWD experience?

These are the first questions coming to my mind...

I say, get yourself one of those two nice Hachi's,
drive her, drift her, love her, take care of her, keep her for a while...

When you do that, and u still wanna tune her, do some small stuf to the engine like an air filter or an exhaust and focus to suspension tuning, chassis stifness improvment, brake improvment, even do some styling tuning if that suits you...

Then, when you 're sure, go and get a nice 20V or GZE, or RB20DET or whatever you like... :wink:

hmm
1 never driven a hachi
2 never owned a RWD car i'm only 21 were in an age of FWD now
i would probably have done exaust and filter along wit coilovers as first mods anyway

styling no thanks standrad look is good, maybe one or 2 subtle things splitter and a black bonnet maybe a CF one if I can afford it

this is going to be an everyday car

and i am buyingf it in the middle of winter

I dont know if the one at Driftworks is import or not but if it isn't then it would probably be cheaper to insure.
