Ur car is gonna be fat wen its done the only thing i would do different is bin the renault engine i had nothing but problems boot it too hard and the headgasket goes lol put a 2.0l zetec in it then wen u get used to it tune the engine, also the ultimate would be to get a sieraa back diff and gear box and make it rwd now that would be wicked

digit

tempted to do a rwd yb turbo 5 on minilites in the distant future lol

danrs2k

That will be a tool!!!

benib

What would be better is a st170 engine and 6 speed box in the back and a space frame to stop it twistin lol my renault 5 was shit i hated it so much lol i was lent on the door talkin to my mate then when i got home i realised i put a huge dent in it lol i think there made from tin foil lol but cos theres no weight there fast as fuck lol
