Yah, I wanted to put a $age 20valve in there but they cost alot and need alot of fabrication to convert to RWD and its a FDW engine.

Then I like the idea of putting a 16v 4age in there as there cheaper etc but as my cars a carb set up It might be a huge headache to make it fuel injection. and if I run it on carbs it not cheap, I need another 40 weber car and alot of fabrication work.

but you never know, I chance my mind alot

Last week the car was going to be black, this week it going to be white and I have gold running in my mind also!!

Also have to decide on what style of wheel to get and how big and wether to use bolt on arch lips of a TE27!!!!

Oh, and if I put a different engine in I gota look at changing the rear axle!!
 
Very Nice matey, my arches + spoiler from rhett finally arrived!! Ill go take a few photos in a min and show you :)
 
cool mate look cool!!

Can you take a phot to see how far the stick out??

Im still not sure what to do

Bolt on Flares or no Bolt on Flares??

Might be selling the Work Equip 01 and the Enkei Mesh wheels above also

Would look a treat on the kp!! but keeping the SSR SpeedStars (red ones)

Also whats the quality like on the Flares??
