that's in las vegas??

[5spBlazer]

Oh dear god. That beast must fly...

[brickhardmeat]

that's nuts, stands on one end when braking too:laugh:

the geometry is fucked, that tuck in the rear makes it look like something is broken:biggrin:

oh well interesting experiment to say the least, I guess the econo on this one's out the window

[reznunt]

i take it you don't like this one that much? :biggrin:

[Desertrat]

Seems like a lot of work for just turning the engine around.....

[joey1320]

that engine will be a pain to work on. just not enough space in the compartment to make it a good swap. imagine having to replace the last(4?) spark plug for a "simple" tune up. hahahaah that will be a full days project!!!

Someone needs to link him to the Hood Strut.

Nice fab work but not to my taste.

soo ummm...no one else noticed nothing is hooked up? just a long block sitting in the bay..no wiring, no plumbing, no electrical...?

the guy building it posted on these forums one time last year. he said that it is a project car that is being built. i guess it's unfinished. i wonder why they would have it on display? oh well, i'm not really interested anymore.

gas?? i see brake and clutch. :confused:

[johnnyfive]

as soon as i saw the engine shot...thought that looked like an open thermostat housing....so i bet there isnt any performance data yet... :)

i actually wanted performance data of the engine installed.

Not practical in the least bit, but that is some nice fab work on the shell.

Hey this is David, the owner of Project Sideways Yaris. Just wanted to give you all the link to the new website: http://www.mospeed.com/yaris/. If you share my enthusiasm for building a "next generation" AE86 just keep checking back on that website. I hope everyone understands that it's still a work in progress. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I do appreciate the feedback (both positive and negative).

You guys rock, it's time we see a fire-breathing, rubber-burning Yaris :biggrin:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i actually think this is very cool. can't wait to see the finished product (going sideways of course. :tongue:)

[Blenjar]

Hey, if you guys don't want the headlights, let me have them!!!
I'll wait until you finish the project for a reply

I want to race him. LOL. No gas means no go :thumbsup:

[umm_bacon]

I am anxious to see that completed. Looks good so far. I just wish I had that kind of money/time/practical engineering knowledge...

[thefoth]

I want to race him. LOL. No gas means no go :thumbsup:

Race for pinks?:evil:

Good luck building the sideways Yaris it is in fact a very interesting project.
