Corsa EPAS is the way forward with the power steering issue.

I personally think it needs a big blower bolted on top or a pair of turbos

Cant remember the weight, but it does have an Alloy block and head, and Alloy pistons (with steel liners in the block).

You'll probably be quite suprised at how much it weighs considering its size.

feel free, i don't mind who knows or sees, the car will be on show at the newark kit car show on the 16th-17th june, only as a rolling chassis though, if we can get the wiring sorted, it may even be a runner there as well!!!!

Diff is a Ford 8.8 From a mustang well casing any way the choice of what goes inside it has only got as far as the ratio which BJ928 will tell you as ill get it wrong lol

Damn it! I just read this topic and I was looking at a Viper powered kit car at a car show in Houston. I'm sure I have pics of it somewhere, but it's not on my Photobucket account. I guess it will be on my home computer.

Nevermind, here's the only pics I have at the moment!
