Post by morrisman1 »

this one has a nissan engine. ive asked the seller for some photos of the modifications.

dont like the idea of original suspension but those nissan v8 engines are all alloy so arent much heavier than the morry block.

14.6 seconds is in the territory of standard suby wrx's and golf gti turbos

Love the fact it hasn't had to resort to massive wheels / tyres to get the "power down".

Looks like he has the rad at the rear, so engine will be well forward to clear rack. Won't be the best handling minor around, and 14.6's are about what I would expect. A cheap fun motor for someone.
