its not entirely sorted as i still have few small probs to sort out i keep selecting 3rd gear on pull away due to the shifter remote braking the first time i used it in anger so that will need beefing up and the alternator isn't charging properly but not to bad for a first time out

Comedy stall at the end

well i just sorted the charging problem with the alternator and the gear shifter problem so it now fully driveable so i thought i know i'll go get some fuel in it and give it a test run first proper drive as it was a major fight to get the gears last time and what can i say it certainly goes in fact its near impossable to drive in the wet even with the boost wound down at 5psi it just spins the wheels as soon as it boosts up around 1500rpm whats more surprizing it even does it in 4th and 5th not the best for getting the power down then but has a grin factor of 11

So - how nice is that for a grands' worth of mowtah?

Complete transplant of running gear from an Isuzu Piazza turbo.

It'll be around 250bhp and 850Kg once it's all sorted out.

Liverpool Lad - you can do it yourself for similar money if you have the talent.

If you want him to make you one, you're looking at about four or five times the cost.
