hows tricks, im a dubliner! just joined up too...so i should probrably pop up an intro after this message... :P

a blacktop 20v engine wouldnt make much of a difference to be honest in the ae86, if you were looking for speed over anything, would ya think about the engine out of a is200/altezza? should fit in the engine bay after a few minor alterations...

you need to keep in mind too, that the ae86 isnt the greatest when it comes to corners, you'll have to upgrade the steering and suspension if you plan to drive it in ireland lol, especially if yer putting a different engine into it...
