There is a speedway competitor on this forum and also a crank machinist that uses the e13 series crank into a12 and also uses the ohc e15 head to make it an OHC A series.

Now this would be possible to do it the other way round.

The other thing is that the e series crank has the 40mm rod journals which are like bike engines and offer that little bit more all up.

Another method would be to keep your a15 crank use the e15 rods and offset and resize the rod journals to increase your stroke.

80 % of aussies drive only 40-50klms per day but its just a thought as most cars on our roads with current technology will be an issue when petrol hits 2 dollars a litre and more.

We have to evolve.

With A123 batteries at double the price you would get 250klms with that car. Although the Tesla and some others are truly expensive as they are only the first of their kind this decade, with mass numbers they will be the way to go very soon.

I like the hot rod version of this one

8k plus a 500 dollar car gives you 20c per 100klms, no engine rebuilds, no oil drips or servicing except tyres / brakes once in a blue moon and 1.5k in batteries every 6 years.

Why 1500 from japan when you can buy one from here at the wreckers for less?

I would also consider the compact sized tiida 1.6 engine.

You can ditch all wiring ecu and run a weber manifold with alloy tubular plenum, cheap throttle body for LPG and boost. LPG bits are cheap to source and if you want later you can go for the 61g accident proof kiwi made rectangular alloy LPG tank.

Sounds good, now for the obvious... any pictures?

try photobucket.com to upload and then paste them with the IMG button above. PB has no popups like most of the other sites.

these are racing guards with the flares? or stock copies?

Youll ruin her on dirt roads and also your wallet.

Get something you can fun with wihtout worrying about dirt.

Eg. VW baja with subaru engine or get a Landrover convert it to SR20de for something different and run straight LPG, all alloy body, dump it and just enjoy it with your choice of 20 inch wheels and enough rubber for offroad. Use the aero screens from english cars after removing the roof and rat-up the lines.

This is my concept and if someone doesnt it do it on a L300 chassis or other similar chassis then those ugly Hummers out there wont be embarrassed by something as simple as this.

Trust me you and your perants will be happier with a Honda - 140hp out of the box.
