FT-86 GT FOUR project ( Feeler) 56K Cruel Death, Really going out into dreamspace right now but brainstorming fun Options

[Neon90424]

My idea is this bear with me before just calling me stupid or saying it cannot be done or that I am plain dreaming.

Get this

add this




racing springs



get yamaha to make this top for the 3S



Slap this on with this




This to control the power



This with a 6spd and this





This for stable running in rally mode



This surge tank



W2A intercooler

Put all that into this



Put this in that



And help that thing get a hood like this






Now my thinking is this...IF somehow I can acquire an FT-86 shell, Create a 5th Gen 3S-GTE that has VVT-i with 400HP capable, slap on Superstruts and 4WD (New WRC rules stat that computers can not control AWD anymore so that the driver actually does some driving) and Test this thing in the Paraguayan Chaco rally (which trust me Is dry nasty and tough enough to test for problems, Dakar wants 4 million dollars from the government to pass thru there lol) I Want to talk to Toyota to release this FT-86 as the Fifth GT-FOUR (165,185,205,246,286??) make 2,500 units with a special Rallye Type N badge (Honda's got Type R why not have type N?) I think maybe just maybe We could jump start toyota back into rallying or atleast selling decent cars meant for rallying, get that much needed VVTi on a great engine which can be sold as sets like hot bread in the racing market (who wouldn't want a fully built VVT-i forged 400hp Beast)

dilemma would be how the hell to get an FT-86 shell and how to get yamaha to make me a VVT-i valvetrain for the 3S


Brainstorming Ideas and general flaming mode on

my thing has always been about taste, from your comments sounds like you really love your Subaru, and that's great, but for obvious reasons others love the 3Sgte engine, when you consider the amount of technology that car manufacturers have incorporated on their cars / engines design in the last decade, and realized that the 3SGTE is an outdated design and still performs up to the task, is just fair to give recognition and not look down on those who want some more of it.

I personally don't like Subarus as a car for me to own, but they are great cars, fast, affordable and reliable, my brother loves them and so do a lot of my friends who own them, but when they test drove my car, they were impressed but its performance and without argument a few of them agreed that my car would be faster ( we didn't race ) at the end of the day is not about who owns the best car, but who can make the best out of what it has. I get ~ 28 mpg, I drive my swapped car every single day ( 90 miles round trip ) and of course that's with occasional boost, with no reliability issues.

am I saying 3sgte is a better engine than those in STIs ? nop, but I will say that a STI engine wouldn't make me happier.
