Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

The rear end is hideous, but the front looks very cool. The wheels aren't great, but the huge over fenders and a roof that doesn't look like a box makes it look a lot sleeker, and more "race-oriented" like something you would see in the ae-86 racing series (forgot the real name) in Japan.

EDIT: It needs a massive wing to pull it off right though, the back looks so under-modified compared to the extremely overkill rest of the car.

Uh, I think I won.





If you can call it winning.

Uhhh.......Awesome? Ugly? Both!? I just don't know what to say. I think it looks good but the paint job totally kills it. But its quite a good job on the body kits, doesn't look all that bad.....But then again, the rear is just awful.... :yuck:
 
If he was gonna do that, he should have used an Mk1 MR2, not an Mk2... would work better since the styling is from the same decade.
 
Front would look odd though because it's a lot longer than the Mk1 MR-2 front end.

Which leads me to ask.. does that MR-86 have an engine in the back and the front? :dopey:

Damn, totally forgot about that one.....
I guess it would have two engines i guess. A 2ZZ-GE at the back and a 4A-GE 20V at the front, with a 4wd system! :drool: :lol:

That would be a 3S-GE or 3S-GTE, and modifying an AE86 front end for a transverse setup would be a pain in the ass. In all likely hood, from an engineering standpoint, it is just an MR still, with the original engine and drivetrain.

Generally, when you do a dual engine setup, you use two transaxles and identical engines. Makes life much easier, there is a Tibiroun with this kind of setup, dual V6s.

Not really - You could easily put the bodywork from the 86 on top of the "regular" FF Corollas innards. Engines are _basically_ the same, so is the tranny, so getting the engines to produce the same amount of power, and the same gear ratios - Not a piece of cake, but not a engineering mountain of doom either...

I'm also with you on this one...

There's a guy here in DK that has a regular FF Corolla where they stuck the drivetrain from a 1st gen MR2 in the back... I'll return when I find some pictures..

[Edit:] Haven't found any pictures (yet), but there's a clip from "High Octane Scandinavia" on youtube.

And an Audi TT with twin 400HP engines...


Lest we forget the father of them all, the 2CV Sahara.

Well, the drivetrain in the Mk1 MR2 is the drivetrain from the 80's FF Corolla GT-S, just the linkages are on the other side of the transmission. Aside from that, its a 4A-GE paired with a C52 tranny (or C50 on 85 and 86 MR2s), with all the same ratios and all.

A similar modern day project would be taking a Celica GT-S 7th gen and sticking another GT-S drivetrain in the back, which is similar to what was used in the MR-S, so you could source a few parts from that as well..

WTF

I can't tell what that is, I mean I swear the sides look way too high to be an SW20. But then the front clearly doesnt line up with the door so I don't know wtf is going on.

I mean is it an MR2 with the front of an AE86 or the other way round seriously.
 
I just don't know about this one

Heh, not only that, he should just jump off a bridge! Man, i don't know how the guy talking could get away with that? Calling a guy who out two engines in his car "an idiot"? Who does this guy think he is?
(although it could be questionable......)
 
I have no idea how you thought that was questionable, Flerbizky. The Corolla is absolutely amazing. If you think that's questionable then obviously you wouldn't be interested in a mid-engined Integra or a twin-engine Del Sol...

*pours a little gasoline on the gutter for the fallen Mini*

Yes, it's a Mini top inexplicably grafted onto a 1994 Geo Metro bottom. If the Mini spent anything less than 5 years sitting in a shallow pool of hydrochloric acid, then the guy who made this should be shot.

Is it trying to replicate a Renault 5?
