Came across this on a local bodyshop Forum

Apparently will be around 500bhp 4x4

Think previously it was around 340Bhp 4x4

Before

 

Was on the cover of Redline a few years ago. Nice car

 

Very nice.
My mate is building a 206 with a RB26 lump and running gear at the moment.

 

sounds interesting any pic's?

 

Not a great advert for a bodyshop, they are some hideous panel gaps and kit fitment. Looks gash but the mechanics are probably quite impressive

 

No pics as of yet. He is eventually gonna put a thread up on www.jdmgarageuk.com forum. If i get some pics of him i'll put them up.
Work has stopped him from doing much more to it at the mo but should be wild when its done. He wants to get it up to around 600-800bhp but he has unlimited time on it so is gonna be a few years i'd expect.

 

is he building the engine himself ?

car looks great

 

the car looks nothing like that now as thats how it was when he bought it, he has striped it down to a bare shell and is on with rebuilding and upgrading everything. Last time i spoke to him he said it owes him 40k so far.

 

Yea he will be, he already has the donor car i think so he'll sort it all out. He is a bloody clever bloke and has brilliant craftmanship so i cant wait to see the quality

 

i was going to say the same,look at the wing gaps to the bonnet

looks like a nice car though and look like its had a lot of work

 

i remember seeing this go round the track at silverstone at trax !! it was very quick.

 

i saw it at trax my self realy nice car i remember reading mag it was in nice to see it live on

 

looks cool

 

wasnt it white and blue

 

i know the guy who originally built this if its the same car

 

i think the bodykit is designed like that?- the wings look slightly higher than the bonnet making the gaps look strange- it was always more of a case of function over form for the rally boys

i like it a lot

 

Presumably T16 engines are getting thin on the ground...

 

Have they ever not been?

 

This was on the cover of Redline a few years back a college student built it if l remember properly,
