Christ alive! Which one you gonna go for? You could probably get a 240bhp Vauxhall redtop for not around 5k(ish), does the class rules dictate that you stick with the pinto? Or can you use any 8 valve, if any 8 valve is permitted, the Volvo 8 valve lumps are pretty good.
Driver decided to stick to the Pinto, built it himself to 196bhp. Just going to drive the balls off it now!

D Big result or big accident! haha
As for JRE, wouldn't look at him at all cause I heard tell he's gone bust! Millington do the best 2.5 and KGP Engineering the best 2 litre, from what I've seen over here. Look up Declan Gallagher and his Starlet, mental bastard has a 2 litre in it and is on the pace of WRC's!
