SR20DET in a Mk2 escort would be my choice.

I have a 79 ghia with sierra 5 speed, 2L, webber/extractors etc. Its still pretty crap but if I ever get rich and bored, I'll do something with it.

For the cost though, I think im better off getting a big turbo and FMIC on my sti.

Unless I'm mistaken the old Toyota Crowns were sought after by hot rodders because of the full chassis on them. (basically chuck out everything else). They could put any body/engine/everything else combination on them.

I was thinking an E30 beamer with wrx engine/running gear. That would be cool I think.

I'm fairly sure that they used these chassis for the cobra kit cars as well.

MY05 STI

datto coupe with crate R34 engine all wheel drive...
and a stand alone fuel management system. not a bad way to spend 10 grand.
After you put about 15 grand in it, or more and if we have to, overnight parts from Japan.
this will decimate all..!!
LoL

Yeah, the shit, cheap ones did. But they looked wrong and were never as good as the ones on fabricated chassis with Jag suspension.

2 door Cortina (UK import) mated to a Ford turbo 6.
Certainly something different, if you can find one.
