Did you check out MG's link I posted? They do an awd/4wd conversion from a, cosworth derivative. It does however add nearly 250kg's to the dry weight. But still 440bhp. 780 kg's dry weight. AWD I think this will blitz anything anything on the road. Better power to weight than your average bsb.  :whistle:

It's 2.5 times the weight for ffs. Having said that the VX AWD 7 will set you back £45k and there isn't a single second hand for sale in the world right now.  :cry:

The lightest Evo of the reg you selected is the MR FQ300 is 1400 kg's....your mate must have got rid of the engine to lose that much weight. Running on uranium maybe?  :grin:

Well he's done very well to take a 1,570kg car. Down to 1,100. He must have had six dead bodies in the boot, to shift half of tonne  :grin:

just stole this info from here

http://www.spanpodyv.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/gsr_v_rs.htm

 The RS model weighs in at 1260kg instead of the 1360kg for the GSR, although weight could be reduced
  further on the RS model by opting for the thinner gauge body, or by asking for a car minus the aerodynamic
  appendages. RS packages were basically the same, although the optional wheel and tyre combinations were
  naturally bigger, in line with the standard GSR fitment, and a crossmember support bar was added each time
  the larger wheels and tyres were specified

I thought you said it was an VIII not a V. My bad, my northern friend.
