It does
one of the last drives I did in it (ok it was standard) but I went past a Civiv Type R like it was going backwards. He gave up quite quickly. It wasn't even my intention at the time - I was showing someone the amount of wheelspin it gets, which I don't rate at all! Irritating rubbish - you think it's cool when you're younger to be able to wheelspin in higher gears but all it really means is you're not going as fast as you could be

Thanks, surprised you managed to find it - we were pretty much off the radar and stuck under the trees!

I really am interested in seeing how you get on mid mounting the engine as its something i've had on my mind a lot lately after reading your ideas.
I can't really drive the car now because the turbo has let go so just trying to find a suitable shell that doesn't break the bank and isn't sacrilege to cut it apart at the same time. I'm definitely going ahead with it - if my research is correct it should be a first. One of my concerns is the exhaust manifold will right next to a new bulkhead and will get frightfully hot - still I'll get round that I'm sure.
Please let me now if anyone wants the shell - it won't be bare, and has had a lot of work done to it
perhaps I need to put a for sale up and become a gold member, not even sure how to do that.
