4AGE
It is clear what will happen to my old Trueno:
This Daihatsu Charmant A35 is owned by a friend of Eircamae86 and he was looking for an upgrade of his 4K engine. He decided to put a 5K engine in it, however given the opportunity of swapping a 4AGE with T50 made him decide to go that way.
Everything should be an easy plug and play: the Daihatsu Charmant A35 was based upon the KE70 chassis, so everything should fit. In the two pictures above the suspension already has been swapped upon the Charmant.
Eventually it will start doing this again:
But then hopefully a bit better than this:
Too bad the shell can't be saved, but at least this is a good destination for the usable parts of my old AE86. ;)
I came across this very nice tuned and lowered Carina Surf:
I must say it is not overdone and these rims fit the car very well!
The Surf is the public version of he Carina Van and came standard with a 1S 1800cc engine and had a solid rear axle (like my TA60). Basically it is the same as the Van, but it is more luxurious.
This car has been tuned with a 20v 4AGE blacktop:
But it still got the originial gauge cluster. Why isn't there a aftermarket revmeter? Perhaps the owner doesn't stress the car??
The car has also a bed in it. Must be really comfortable for all those meetings the owner is attending. ;)
And it is not the only nicely tuned Carina Surf/Van around:
Next to it you can see the famous very lowered Carina Firevan!
Also a strange thing: I can't find the owner of the Carina Firevan. I can only find it in pictures of other people attending meetings. Did anyone else find the owner yet?

Oh great! I lack a turbo on my Carina and now I can't do puppy saving!
Oh well... I didn't fancy the turbo GT-TR Carina anyway. I'm more fan of the 4AGE. ;)
Anyway, the source can be found here:

Amazing! My estimate is that it outputs 250hp+.
Too bad the driver only uses it to immitate Back to the Future. :(
I'd say spot the differences with this:
It probably is making the same noise as well. ;)
