erk just noticed, drums front and rear

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 09:57

it would be fun to go out driving in rush hour with the sole intent to hold everyone else

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 11:00

i wonder if any of the 659cc turbo engines would fit. its mid engine too! under the seats

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 11:27

not yet zip, ill see my dad first, dont fancy the slipper!

nah it would have to be a daihatsu engine firestar 3x, maybe do a low boost supercharger on whats already in? i could make my own carbon fibre panels too!

this aint mad max

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 12:44

i just noticed something wierd actually, its single seater but both doors open, would be strange to be able to get in from either side, and left or right hand drive rules dont really apply

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 12:51

hey i reckon the handling would be ace, mid engine and rwd

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 13:00

yeah front engine, rwd drive, but its actually mid engine mounted, so MR really

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 13:02

not much width to those wheels either

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 13:12

vanpeebles · 8 Feb 2006 at 13:26

found this too, on a mad cartoon

i know of one daihatsu mod which is a 1 litre gtti turbo engine modded to 130 bhp in a 650kg mira, u need to seam weld the engine bay to stop it twisting!

actually i think that cartoon site is a typo, it should be a ef-rl, same as in my mira
