[QUOTE="h701micra, post: 698730, member: 10465"] Rear mounted engine makes the project doubly complex from what it could be. They're no bigger than SR20 so will fit no problem. Only difference being the angle they mount at. MR2 / Celica was only a passing thought of a project for myself With such a short wheel base the micra would be a handful at rear wheel drive with power/torque expected One thing not on your list, that everyone seems to underestimate, is your suspension. The single most vital component to keeping a car on the road. With the changes in weight the standard setup is just not adequate enough. I've seen many great n expensive cars turned into balls of scrap clinging to armco because suspension was overlooked in the fight for pure power My list goes as follows Get engine Make my own measurements Offer into place suitable in the x, y & z axis with drive shaft angle and mounting angle in mind Fabricate mounts That's the engine dealt with and in Larger brakes Take some corner weights Suspension base setup Chassis strengthening Full engine setup Re corner weight Fine tune suspension [/QUOTE]
