    If you will own a personalize Sports car. What do you want?
    A small car body with large engine or big car body with small engine?

    Sample.
    Suzuki alto body with Nissan GTR engine VS Nissan GTR body with suzuki alto engine.

    Whats your priority.. Sporty Looks or Sporty performance.

    Sporty looks have saving on fuel, maintenance and unit cost.
    Sporty performance have the speed and acceleration you want.

    Small car body with a large engine.

    Example: Classic Mini with a Honda VTEC engine.

    What's the point of having a big car with a tiny engine?

    You won't get great performance.

    You won't even get great fuel economy. To move mass takes power. To use power takes fuel. A small engine needs to make the same power as a big engine to provide the same acceleration. While it will use less fuel at idle, any time you need to accelerate, an overworked engine will use much more fuel than a bigger, understressed one.

    If all you want is the looks, it's pretty easy to stick a few hundred thousand pesos worth of ugly bodykit onto a small car to make it look bigger....

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Of course due to added weight.

    Ill give an example, gen2 vios and gen 3. Same engine but different body. Based on owners, it seems that gen2 is more fuel efficient compared to gen3.

    Fuel efficiency is not based solely on how tiny your engine is. It goes with design. The tires used, how aerodynamic the body is, transmission design. Its a matter of getting the right combination.

    But if you want your alto with GTR body kits, watch out for the baduy thread ☺

    I think it have very few effect on fuel consumsion. Its like you add 1 passenger everytime you use it.. The body kit i means is like a totally replica.. Like 99 percent replica. Haba at taba ay kapareho ng original..

    The GTR with an 800cc engine? Can't climb Guadalupe hill... let alone Antipolo.

    Alto with a 3.6l twin turbo engine? It will take up the driver and front passenger seat, and crush the front suspension...

    You'd have wasted two cars in the process. Leave them be, and get yourself a dressed up Sarao jeepney

    Mukhang minor pa itong si threadstarter at wala pa masyado alam sa sasakyan.

    Kung gusto mo pangporma, make sure na yung porma ng sasakyan mo, kaya panindigan ng takbo nya.

    Baka maunahan ka pa ng mga hatchback na pinalitan ang makina.

    Siguro naman sir hindi dahil may sports car ka e need mo magpa takbo ng matulin or makipag karera palagi.. Yes, hindi matulin pero ma porma.. Sabihin natin kahit maliit ang budget e ma gara naman ang auto..

    Aakyat parin yan sir.. Gapang nga lang.. Im sure kayang ipasok sa loob ng alto ang gtr engine yun nga lang wala ng space sa iba.. At yung driver seat e uurong sa bandang likod.. Kung suspension naman e lagyan ng maayos na kaya yung engine..sabihin natin na car ito na puro engine lang..

    Hindi ko lang maintindihan purpose nitong topic na ito.

    This is basically a all-show-no-go car lalo na sa gustong starting pointna alto 800c as the example stated to make into a GTR.

    Iniinsist na kaya magawa, pero hindi mo din ba dapat idamay interior kung show car nga ito? So panu mo gagawin kung hindi babaguhin yung buong framing na di hamak mas malaki nga since ang starting point mo Alto na microcar to jump to size of midsize?

    Kung yung starting point siguru one size down to one size up it would at least make sense like an Altis to a Camry. Or a City to a Civic.

    If purpose mo naman is sleeper car like yung Camry na dragster na pinakita sa SEMA, pano magagawa sa Alto kung yung engine block pa lang mismo occupied na engine bay ng Alto sa makina pa lang, panu yung ibang components para umandar? Nakaupo ka sa rear passenger bench na bale para magkaasya GTR components? E di hindi na sleeper car yung kasi halata na hindi siya stock diba?

    Siguro sa alto body with gtr engine e maraming modifications talangang gagawin ang sa 2nd row na naka upo ang driver para magkasya ang makina..

    Yung gtr body with alto engine e yun malapit sa katutuhanan.. Baka maluwag pa ang engine bay.. Yun nga lang takbong alto ang nissan gtr. Hehe..

    For you sir walang sense ito. I just gather some info.. Who knows may makita akong tao dito na may same vision ko...create a sports car body on a small engine.. Ma porma. Magagamit mo araw araw kasi matipid sa gas at maintenance..afford ng maraming pinoy..
