At the moment the FA20 is mated to a Subaru transaxle from a FWD 2.2L Liberty.

In the future I will upgrade the box using a AWD box that has been converted to 2WD.

Nice! What's the difference between the 2 transmissions that makes you want to switch it?


anyways, looking through this old thread and the original post, I was thinking, why extend the 86 or MR2 chassis?
With this type of trans you have, I think an 86 can be made mid-engine without needing to extend the chassis, rather just extensive reworking of the rear subframe, back seat area, and fuel tank (fuel cell) relocation, plus some proper welding skills.
