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

a 3SGTE 4WD FT-86 GT FOUR would only be like 5-8 grand more and I guarantee you would hand the EVO its ass on a platter seeing as it will be putting out 400HP no need for a computer for ever wheel just good ol plain 4 wheel violence and WRC 2011 rules say no more computers so its pretty pointless unless your planning of going to a non WRC rally...

I would love a REV happy 3SGTE = since the 3sgte is only REV cheery and not happy since it loses a bit of power but VVTi would fix this and rev happy 4wd means drifting through corners = what WRC Fans LOVE...now i gotta find MONSTER and the useless rally driver ken block and make him stunt the hell out of it...

A) when is the last time you saw a production 4 banger @ 400hp?

B) if you want the AWD turbo version......Subaru will be putting their own version of the FT-86 out (as it IS a joint production car) and it is rumored to be AWD and boosted.... Toyota's version is not.

C) the 3sgte is not as responsive as the newer motors, it needs a full on make over (thus making it a completely different motor) to be modern enough to handle it.
* please see very indepth many page thread about this from 3sgte owners and other car owners more intelligent: http://www.mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=413630 *


I'm glad you're a dreamer and it would be a cool car. for maybe a shop to build if the car ever comes out.


But essentially all you've been able to come up with is Toyota needs to make this:
