200hp AE86 as a daily driver?

[Oped]

Hey guys,

I am currently saving up to attempt to build the closest thing I can get to a 200hp n/a AE86. But the thing is I would want to use it as my daily driver as well, not just as a track car.
And well, I know it would idle very rough from lots of cam work, and would be noisy and not the most comfortable thing to drive around etc, but those things really don't bother me as I used to drive a fucked starion with the balance shaft bearing chopped out (that was rough) and now a 86 corona with blown suspension which I can make bounce like it has airbags :greenbounce:
But what I love about driving are those things which make you feel closer to the car and engine itself. Not sitting in a brand new Mercedes which is so quite and comfortable you forget it's on.

Anyway what I am wondering, is there anyone here who drives a AE86 day to day with that sort of power?

And generally what it is like driving a 200hp AE86?

Thanks guys

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Oped @ Sep 24 2008, 03:46 PM) </div>Learn to maintain the cars you have, then start thinking about big power n/a cars, if you can't maintain the one you have now, you won't keep up with the work to keep anything crazy going on the road.

No offence, but its the truth

i forgot to mention, it will not have enough torque down low to be a decent driver anyway, not unless you like driving around above 5-6000 rpm

You have enough money to afford a 200hp N/A car but can't afford a $500 daily driver?

[hachirusto]

you do realise how much work is involved in getting 200hp out of a NA 4age, its not just as simple as putting a pod filter and exhaust on the motor

Build a 160hp one, will be far, far cheaper.

if your looking for 200hp maybe the SR track might be one to look at,

just depends on what your looking for,
and then once you get the power you want your going to have to look at sus. and brakes,

good luck, :turned:

boosted 200hp is cheaper and easier :2thumbs:

dont forget the deliveries of a night, those hotels go threw quite a bit of produce...

yes id consider something along a mildly worked s14 sr20de wih vvti.. cams, itb's extractors you would be getting close to your target power with quite a bit moro toque.

i sure wouldnt want to wear out a motor that i had just spent a shit load on driving to work, plus having to wait 5mins for it to warm up in the morning, not just hit the key and start driving like most other shitters/stocko dailies.
