A Fantasy I've had for a long time, except with a 1jzgte

Take a look at these guys... Its too bad I will never get this accomplished with my resources. Oh and START @ BOTTOM of page, or else you'll ruin the finished product. Wish they would've documented more...

Cool but they really killed that car with that disgusting paint job. Were they Australians?

They're from England. They are actually jap car breakers, I've bought used parts from a couple of times including my interior.

You guys called parting out a car "breaking it" right? I think I saw that on ebay.

Yup, breaking for spares or scrapping.

Yeah that's the term on the UK toyota site also.

Personally, i don't like it. Why would you waste time and money stuffing an RB25 in there? I have nothing against them, my friend is putting an RB20 in his 180SX RHD shell, but if I was going to get that stupid, I'd spend some coin and just have a SR20 stroked to 2.4L or something, and still have a tidy small package instead of that cramped end product..

Ive contemplates doing something similar to this multiple times. I know of an SR20 motor/tranny/harness locally for like $800, it'd be a really fun project!

"we found the car to be a bit nose heavy"

Hats off to them for doing something different. STi, Evo, and Skyline parts together? They just need some Celica GT-Four parts to make the JDM Turbo AWD set complete!

They also have some rare stuff: http://www.japperformanceparts.co.uk/details.asp?ID=298

If I ever have a race team, it will be named "Jap Car Breakers"

Yes, but have you heard a 1jzgte or a rb25 at WOT? SEX.

I can imagine the balance is pretty messed up. Those engines are damn heavy.
