the trannys have gotta be the fun sleeper but no-one expects a KA to do anything quick, even the sport one! so any sleeper of the KA variety has gotta be good!

nice!
Stavros, with regards to your 'nobody will race a shed' comment..
the beauty of the real shed is not in the goading for a race IMO but in the "oh look here comes a 911 (complete with trophy mrs)" moment.
That's where the fun lies in a real shed I reckon. Just ease on the throttle as they are tramping down the fast lane and watch as they first ease on a bit themselves then watch the horror in their face and gearbox stirring commence as you stay with them, only to eventually pull away as they've selected 4th and nailed it

fookin mental, would love to see some engine pics mainly to see where did he put the engine
bolt it in up front would be the most obvious but looking at all that stuff hanging from the under belly in that last pic has he put it mid mounted like the xj220 car and used all the jag floorpan 
wonder where youd find a cheap xj220 to break
i think practical performance car are going to do a feature on it
xj220's have 542bhp @7200rpm off the top of my head

Costs me about 350 quid, which was less than my cossie and the cav goes faster
Its also more fun cause no one really expects an m reg cav to be quick, but do with the cossie!
The only thing it lacks is road presence, but then it wouldnt be a sleeper I guess.... 300bhp, 4x4, leather, 6 speed box
