flatcat19 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 So....when's the build thread starting? Post some tits and I'd say this is it. You are still fairly new here. I'll leave ya alone about not knowing what a Ratsun build thread looks like. 3 Quote Link to comment

Been looking for a little British car project for many, many years. Finally gave up and just bought a Roadster. :rofl: But seeing what some of the parts for it cost, not so sure I made the right choice now... :crying: 2 Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 But for how long? All the parts I sell last forever!! :D I like the 4x4 idea. Already thought of the widebody Miata option. The problem is it's REALLY wide and long. Plus matching the tie-in points would be pretty hard. There's an A15 in Omak, but I really don't feel like driving three hours to drag a non-running 210 back. It's the slant back ugly version too. If it was a coupe, maybe. That's the easy way out anyway. Think I'm going to go measure the engine bay and see how hard it would be to fit a 6 cylinder. L series. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Not easy, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 20 inches, still have to notch a little out of the crossmember to fit the 4 cylinder L. Could fit the 6, but that would be a lot of cutting. Quote Link to comment

I keep coming across a sedan in my CL searches. Please hold. Quote Link to comment

paradime Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'd say if you didn't have a bug up your ass about Toyota, maybe an MR2, but... Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Keith, that 210 is way too nice to yank the motor out of. I'd just drive it. Paradime, WHAT THE FUCK, WHERE DID I GET A TOYOTA BUG IN MY ASS?!! WHO THE FUCK LET THAT HAPPEN?!! GET THE RID-X!! :D 4 Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm not sure I have the talent or budget to complete that, but it is definitely interesting. Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Yeah, I'm thinking I'd still like to do a chassis of some sort. The problem with all that cutting is the body is very lightly put together. Perfectly fine for a 50 hp motor, but you start getting beyond double the power, and it's not like a 510 for chassis rigidity. Really thin sheet metal and it will most definitely twist. Not to mention the suspension is lacking, though it looks like the bugeye was retrofitted with some decent wishbones. I can probably do that on the midget too. But having something else entirely wouldn't be a bad thing. Especially if it was a go-kart like frame with the body perched on top. Quote Link to comment
