Hey andy

The only thing that I can think of right now is to clean up your car and get rid of any unwanted crap that is weighing you down.

You could also try losing weight if your a bit on the heavy side.

Don't bother with lightweight pulleys as we are still unsure of the long term effects....

Could remove your spare, but then risk needing it when you blow a tyre

Don't always keep your petrol tank full, maybe half

Lightweight battery if your battery needs replacing

Get rid of your sub and amp if you have one

Use 15" alloys instead of the factory 16", there is quite a difference in weight between the two...

Thats all I can think of at the moment.

If your on a budget how much are we saying???

Leave the spare in, but take the back seats and passanger seat out ;)

it's the cheapest way I know to get into the 14s ;)

[sportiyo]

get some light rims with light nuts

throw your engine cover away

get coilovers(i noticed the stock spring and shocks r lot heavier than my d2s)

sell your air-con

sell your rear seats and passenger seat,use the money to buy some light bucket seats

sell your cd player

chuck the sound deadening in the recycle bin

or just buy an ae86

[RO11AS]

can you put the 2zzge in the ae86 ? lol

like is the engine bay big enough ? or the height is enough ?

[MR22ZZ]

It's difficult because it only has an engine mount on one side.

Better off using a 3S-GE beams engine from an Altezza.

there's at least one RWD 2ZZ in QLD that's almost on the road, and another currently in the build process. These are in proper street cars, not the clubman style kit cars...

Pics or it didn't happen, lawl

the owner has requested I dont post pics until the car's totally finished, I can direct you to the workshop that did the custom bellhousing, sump, headers, intake with quads, mounts, radiator, etc etc though ;)

I said it was difficult, not impossible ;)

anything is possible with the right money and people.
