Slightly unusual S2000...

[GravelBen]

well it's got the motor/gearbox etc out of an S2000 anyway - very quick well sorted racecar and sounds pretty incredible too, nice engine


Must admit it doesn't look quite as nice as an S2000 though, even if it is a bit lighter...

Wow.

I'm not really hot on my Jap motors from the 70's. It looks familiar as I remember seeing them around when I was a kid (I love the look of old Japanese cars) is it an early Civic?

I bet it flies with an S2000 engine and gearbox!

Its an early 80's Toyota Starlet (Rwd obviously), they're very popular in club-level racing and rallying down here in NZ, powered by anything from the original 1300 motors to well, whatever. The one in front in the 2nd photo with the bodykit etc has a Nissan CA18DET 1.8 turbo in it, probably running 300+ bhp, and I've also seen a Hayabusa-powered example in a magazine.

Id say it moves alright..

240hp and no weight = Fast...
