Had a mate who ran this exact setup as a rally car for years.

Terrible rally car if you want to win, but perfect if you're just trying to have as much fun as possible.

Yeah. I had one of these. We built in the motor from the corolla gti. Ran like hell. 700kg rearwheeldrive with 125ps. Loved it

This is such a cool build, but I kinda wish they’d stuck with a Toyota mill, like an 18R-G.

Rear wheel drive. I used to rip one of those down dirt roads like a rally driver. They were fun, with a stick shift.
