OST-033: Triyota Spitfire Mk IV-AGE
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 5:40 pm
On rare occasions my client's heads go into something a bit UN-Toyota.... ![Surprised :eek:](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)

The 1969 Triumph Spitfire: 1600#s... that is about 600#s LIGHTER than an AE86
with a rather un-inspired 68hp....
To put that in perspective... that is zero to 60 in 14.3 seconds(all 1600#s), while a stock AE86 GTS is good to do zero to 60 in about 9 seconds... @ 270+ kilos(about 600#s) more mass!

(I know.... I worked on Spitfire 1500 series when they were new
.... yeah, I'm that olde)
So my client decided to mix in a little bit of twincam magic...![Image](http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs28/f/2008/089/5/e/poof_by_Davidgtza2.gif)

An oddball fact... this is one of the rare cases where using a 4AGE INCREASES the cars engine displacement by MORE than 20%![Surprised :eek:](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
...... AND that is where OST-033 begins.....
