I get that they can produce silly numbers, but you can't escape that youre putting near half a ton of iron in the nose instead of 200 kilos of 2j!
if it had to be diesel I'd be going Om6**, but its not my project so crack on!

OM606's can sound good, but a well tuned Cummins makes my spine tingle. Go the whole hog and put a jake-brake* on it for the full auditory experience!
*Disclaimer - I get the feeling that an exhaust brake would be bad news for drifting, especially in something so light. Eating your steering wheel every time you lift off probably won't help smooth drifts. It'd sound pretty special though

whitz it is all about having the motor wedged in the bay! Even better if it hangs out the sides and sticks out the top!

Would need it on a lever or something so it only engages when you want it to. |

Progress has been a smidge slow around work car shows and my knee really causing me issues (excuses i know) As usual pictures decided to rearrange them self during upload, this is the lastest pic of how it sits  both rear toe arm inner camber bolts seized so i couldnt leave them in the end cut and burnt them out and put on a set of driftwork adjustable arms  measuring up for sleeved shaft length  more temp wheels bough the fit over the brakes so i can get them built  interior painted in hammershite black smooth, as you can see i ran out but has been done now  Fuel tank dropped for inspection, clean and undersealing, you an see under arches parts not done as it will be chopped and tubbed (saves effort) along with new poly bush diff mount  chopped sleeved shaft welded up reassembed and put in place after several thousand F's under the sun due to there joint design  Currently unable to find a Right rear handbrake cable for a half decent price that is actually in stock and not on back order which is holding me up Il be going to get an engine next week at some point too Ash |

after alot of hassle with handbrake cables manage to get one off a st205 which is identical after alot of searching All new cables fitted along with shoes, springs, retainers etc and a good scrub up  recon'd calipers fitted red paint stripped and gone to VHT black, new pads and fitting kit for good measure, ground the celica off the caliper now worth £100 more per caliper, I'm not even joking the scene tax is a joke  slapped the bonnet on just to get it out of the way, will end up with a few holes in it Ash |

Discs on the wrong way, as in the grooves facing wrong? Would it really make a difference though?

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

Got abit busy over the weekend, front brakes built up and painted (no pics) Also collected a gearbox, flywheel and bellhousing all matching with a old clutch that i know will fit for mockup  Also went and paid for this, a 250hp 820nm from factory FV432 APC engine will do nicely  250hp of glorious american pig iron  Only 597 run hours on the engine so only just bed in really for one of these engines  Ash |

daft question, but what would the diesel engine had been standard in? lots of stuff, typically Commercial, 7.5 ton Dafs I think would be the most common use in the uk, Dodge full size pickups, buses, agricultural equipment, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummins_B_Series_engine |

Not much progress has been made as show season is in full swing, having a fair few issues, brake servo not fitting needing to be "frabricobbled" to fit, engine is yet to be delivered as theres a slight issue with it where the head has got to be whipped off After 4 months the custom extreme offset wheels turned up, shame they turned up damaged as they came though the box's and knackered the powdercoat still yet t obe fixed as there basically slow rolling me as i want them re powdercoat (seems fair right?)  having lots of issues with paint, roof all flaked off and parts all over reacting, i suspect it might of has paint stripped over it at one point with issues with paint and wheels i hit the "curse word it" stage and made a roof rack up and bolted it straight into the rood and ordered 285 60 18 rear tyres, so its now getting lifted suspension and a madmax stlying so watch this space  Ash |

I'm still looking forward to seeing it come to life either way! |
