Flatheads are V6's. Only three exhausts on each side. I should know, I've got one.

Ha ha, true

. Reminds me of my shock and subsequent attempt to sue Ford when I found my old supposed V6 2.8 XR4x4 to in fact be fitted with a V4

I wish there was some way we could narrow it down a bit, say, to a Mitsubishi 4G63T from an Evo 5 or 6.

However, alas I fear we'll get no further than baseless speculation.

A bit of googling for 'green engine' has led me to the following:

Maybe this can help someone more in the know?

^^^ nah - the green is all wrong - can't be that. But look at this...

Uncanny! So I'm wondering if it's even not an engine at all, but rather a fruit known as a 'lime'???

*wanders into thread*

*scratches head*

*wanders out again, continuing to scratch head*

*rubs his eyes*

What have I missed?

We are trying to help determine which engine is in the car, the key fact being that it's green. If you missed that then I can't really help you any further...

*Sigh* Howard, a man of mine should do better.

I go away for a week and what happens :rolleyes:

Constella 205 Evo.

I hear the chassis twists off the line...

The guy who built said car is a good mate of mine

Is that a quad turbo 8L W16?

Green engine?

Pancake.

Originally it was an Evo 6 engine, if that helps.

The brakes only have to stop the weighted momentum of the car at speed. Given this 205 (if it is) will likely weigh in quite light, I don't see it being a massive issue. Tyres will be more important

What is the difference between "weighted momentum" and normal momentum?

Speed is much more important than weight when it comes to stopping a car, since the energy the brakes have to dissipate rises with the square of the speed.

Django x2 · 14 Feb 2012 at 17:28

Weighted as in, a 205 from 100mph will stop shorter than a Vectra from 100mph assuming both have similar brake setups.

So, normal momentum then.

I remember this thread first time around.... It was confusing enough then.

Found another shot at a slightly different angle:

That can't be right........he clearly doesn't have a red fuse cable in the first photo

that would be an Evo engine of some sort - the same car from Autosport this year?
