Stock 1.6 engine with shaved pistons, slightly ported head and ARP head studs.
I don't have any videos of it like it is today, the only video I have is 2 and a half years old, from when the modifications were starting. I don't drive the car that often these days as it's stored at my parents house in Iceland, and I'm thousands of miles away. I go there to abuse it every couple of months or so.
My estimate is that it makes about 200hp and 200 ft-lb torque, this engine is not a big revver but it seems to love humiliating clutches. I've gone through 2 clutches so far with poor results.
Car weighs about 3000lbs and the tires weigh over 80lbs each. Final drive ratio is 5.71:1 so it does manage to get off the line fairly quick.
It might do a 14 second quarter mile if I'd test it on standard tires, should be in mid 15's on the offroad tires. Will probably get a chance to test that next summer. I did a 15.8 quarter and 10.0 1/8 last summer (2004) but a lot has changed since then. (fixed the misfire
It's relatively fast for a modified offroader, the only offroad trucks that come close are the ones with modified street smallblocks and even those aren't very lucky when up on the glaciers in 5000ft elevation, that's where nothing beats a turbo.
Everything in this truck is done as cheap as possible as I was in school with more time than income when building it.
