yeah but would have to repair all the accident damage first, any parts you need  :grin:


It's only cosmetic though, right?  It's just a track car, so doesn't have to be pretty!  :smug:

lol 115 of your finest horses flying around the track  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:


You could possibly get 160 out of that engine with those mods I listed.  And with a couple of 100 kg's stripped out, you'd be surprised how quickly you could go round a circuit.  I'm talking lower dash, carpets, trim, sound deadening, headlining, lightweight bucket seat in etc..  The power, & the way it's delivered would probably be more usable than my current car for coming out of tight hairpins etc.  ;)  The straights aren't usually that long, you know.  :)

You could (if you have standard suspension on your 2.0ltr) swap the suspension over so you'll e a touch lower.

the donor car is a three door?
does it have the rubber roof gutter strip?
mines missing the passenger side
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
