anyone heard of a 1uz toyota engine in a datto?
if you have pics that would be cool
thanks guys

Never heard of or seen it done. Would not be street legal but a Toyota V8 would fry some rubber

you obviously dont want to ever go around a corner
to answer your question :no

Not saying that it is a good idea but hey, if you want it you can build it.

There's a mark one Escort race car here in SE QLD that has a 1UZ in it and it goes round corners just fine.

anyone know if its possible to put a honda s2000 engine in a datto? or if its been done

There's a build thread on a UK forum of a guy putting a Gemini or something (kadet?) onto a S2000. it looked pretty good until the stupid square wheelarches were put on, would have been much nicer with big moulded rubber flares.

You can put any engine in any car you want, just need the money and the tools to do it!

dazza1200, i never said i wanted to do it, just wanted to see if it had been done, im sure it would corner, just at like 70 degrees to every coner it goes around

zak, dude that looks so good, where did you get these from? id like to follow this build if possible

aw and the s2000 gemini looked so good till that kit was put on

Ask and you shall receive.

This project has stalled, hope the dude gets it finished.
Its not my cup of tea, but a admire a man with the balls to attempt something like this.
