if australia got the KP61, why would anyone bother with a spoontah?? the KP61 is just soo much better 
what is it with "highway racing" that goes on in the US? seems a bit weird really..
do you have the injectors inside the carb bodies? or in the original 4AG position?
what are you doing for timing? MSnS? MSnEDIS?? more info on MS install please
what is idle kpa with the 272's??
oh yeah.. car looks awesome, esp the matt black
Cya, Stewart

Hi,
I think the power and 13" wheels is just right for its weight. at 1900lbs there will be many AE86s lighter than it with even more power. 13" wheels will keep you at the sweet spot of the rpm band all the way to the redline (loud!). It is a handful in the wet though - one time I actually ended up last place in a wet pro event against modern cars with traction control
I wanted to race with wider tires but overall diameter and weight comes with that so i would need more torque to compensate. its going to be a busy winter project for me, that is if i source all the parts for the conversion, maybe another roller car too

It has been great owning this 150HP street car, its been winning a lot of smiles hehe - and races eventhough the car has been weighed down (1920 lbs) to meet the StreetModified2 class. but the course designs these days are getting faster and I want to stay NA so a new toyota powerplant i hope is in the near future. the overall design has been inspired by many pictures and people from the NZ toyota and club4AG but most of all its been a dream come true since i drool over starlets since I was a teenager in the Philippines. but generally, its the product of my boredom and frustration 
BTW, most of the work has been done on the street/treeshades of newark NJ
