Anybody know of any FiST drivetrains swapped into other builds?

[FiST to death]

I'm about to have a spare engine/transmission/subframe/ECU/dash cluster/column, etc and I was wondering if anybody has seen the FiST setup swapped into an older vehicle or a dune runner or a kit car. Just thinking before I go selling off what I don't need... lol

Not a 1.6L but someone swapped the 2.0 in a MR2.

I'd love to do a swap into my 2002 SVT Focus...maybe at some point in the future.

I'd love to rustle some feathers and swap a 1.6l EcoBoost in to a 90's Civic...

That would cause as much vitriol/animus among the 'duh faithful as that GTE swap into a first gen Camaro did a while ago among the GM faithful! LOL

Traction would definitely be a challenge.

Looks like they put the engine in to a Caterham chassis? That would be terrifying and amazing at the same time.

With the cornering g's those things can generate with sticky tires, they NEED that optional dry sump kit!

WHOA, talk about way back time machine.....I haven't heard that name in quite a while.

The Fiat X1/9 was a two-seater mid-engined sports car designed by Bertone and manufactured by Fiat from 1972–1982 and subsequently by Bertone from 1982–1989.

yes it was . lol and it was lightweight and handled like a bat out of hell. Another car would be a Lotus Exige, or First gen MR2 AW11

I had an x1/9, looked great, handled even better. Straight line acceleration was ummm leisurely lol.

Yeah... wish they were easier to obtain and register state side.

Also, I didn't realize they were designed to fit Ford 1.6 and 2.0 liter four bangers to begin with. Maybe not as difficult a swap as I thought.

The actual Caterhams were using the GM/Opel/Vauxhall sourced Ecotec 2.0 liters in the recent past.
I don't know what they are using currently.

According to their website, the current models use a Ford 1.6 Sigma or a 2.0 Duratec. The most insane model slaps a supercharger to the 2.0 and cranks out over 300 hp.
