Standard engine (albeit with greys etc) though to develop suspension (so all other cars video yourselves overtaking Steve for future reference and then say it was when he had the 700bhp engine ).

Gradually seen it in various states as its been built up.

And the injurys that its caused (Pete and his broken finger )

Will be good to see it out at last, should be impressive whatever engine its running!

This looks like an interesting piece of kit.

I want to know just how well the 4 wheel drive conversion goes.

Paul,
It's not been on the dyno yet, hence why it will have a standard YBP engine slung in and a set of greys and T3/4 put on...

OK, it sounded like it was due on a week after Autosport.

What was the hold up??

Just to answer all your questions the car will be running a Std small turbo Escort engine with Grp A head gasket, t34, light blues and runnig on Pectal T6-2000 managment, made 380 bhp and 370 ft/lb of torque on the rollers.

The 'big' power engine will hopefully be ready with in the mext month, we've just been so busy with work.

See you all on Saturday.
