sleepercorty Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Posted May 28, 2011 ive been having thoughts about if i cage this car or start on something that is lighter and will be easier to make faster later on, so I'm trying to think what car to do. it has to weigh 1000kg standard for a 1jz conversion to be legal as it will be registered and a big enough engine bay for a straight 6 engine. my first thoughts are early celicas i think ra28 was just over 1000kg from factory also something like xt130 corona which is probably around 1100kg. other things that crossed my mind were early hilux but I'm not sure if engine bay is big enough and i don't mind the look of s13 silvia but not sure if a could bring myself to owning a nissan. if i can get a car to weigh around 1300kg with a similar engine setup that i have now should be able to break the 9.5 second barrier no dramas using a standard 1jz a340 toyota box and hilux diff. i could do the usual and put a 2jz bottom end in mine and make another 100-150hp and would be fairly cheap, but not sure how long the gearbox would like it and i really like the 1jz engine more. other option is to build a forged motor for the cortina so i can push it abit further than planned Quote

sleepercorty Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Posted May 28, 2011 yeh i know of that car, would be something similar to that with around 600rwhp Quote
OKE055 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) werent the fully optioned ke70s around 1000? I'm sure a 1j fits too ill do some more research. Nope 925kg (sure ive seen 1j Ke70s around somewhere) series 1-3 rx7's are spot on 1000kgs from memory so are ae86's Lj torrie is 1100kg or you could go really sleeper and get a volvo 240!!! E30 beemers are 1050ish Edited May 28, 2011 by OKE055 Quote
sleepercorty Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Posted May 28, 2011 didnt think of ae86 will see if i can find what they weigh Quote
OKE055 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 Depending on the Corolla's trim level and transmission, the curb weight of the AE86 can range from 2,300 pounds (1045kg) to 2,400 pounds(1090kg). Quote
