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.  :)

I know was only messing bud  :wink:

Bet it would be good


Yeah, I know!  ;)  [/try-to-convince-everyone-they-need-a-track-toy,-mode]  :D

the donor car is a three door?
does it have the rubber roof gutter strip?
mines missing the passenger side

yes it's 3 door and has the rubber strip but it runs right down the windscreen too is that the one you mean?

nah the rubber strip running from the passenger door to the boot
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
