Quote: | Yahoomotorsport in adelaide have mighty boy with an Alto Works RS/X F5A 543cc turbo for sale. They also have a range of interesting Kei cars for sale.
|
I went to see this guy last week, he was the weirdest chap I've ever had dealings with. I'm not exagerating here either, he asked me to make an appointment and asked me to leave when I was showing clear interest in one of the cars. I won't go into detail as I won't slander the guy, I just won't deal with him again.
Quote: | east west transaxles such as the suzuki (and nearly every other FWD type car) you don't have those options. But then you don't have to, all you do is move the gearbox to the back of the car but keep it in the same layout.
|
Not possible, as you can see in the sketch its too tight at the rear of these cars.

Quote: | Ps how much room is there in the front "boot" area if you want to put it in there?
|
As you can see from this pic, the Front boot area is very limited. That elevated area behind the spare wheel well is just above your peddle area. I have contemplated trying to fit the engine in the front boot and moving the seating back a fraction to allow for a firewall to be fitted.

Quote: | you would probably be better off putting the motor in the front and running it like it came out of the other car either way you have to modify ALL of the subframe so you may as well put it in the front and modify everything to suit.
|
That is exactly what I was thinkin might be the only other option if the diff's can't be turned to suit. I have found a half cut here in Adelaide, but a very expensive one ($2650) considering an import low mile complete works car can be brought in for $3000 including all the fees. I might go and look at the half cut and see if I can take some pics of the complete drive train to study.
Following are a few pics of a few little Bambina's done up, and look quite hot to have as a 4wd turbo "sleeper". Hmmmm, the mind ticks... could one have a mid mounted Bambi with 4agze
