As I have a spare engine and turbo setup, I have been looking into what I could use it in for the future, bearing in mind cost and use for the car. It will be for sprints/hill climb/track and a bit of drag.

This is a favourite so far, costly but looks great.

prob is and a good prob is that power...if it needs to be cheap then need an old gas guzzler with a big chassis that can handle the torque.

Yeh just joking, turbos makes the rotor make torque.
Iv never seen one of those kit cars before. So good. I once saw some hill climbing and they were using roofless lotus's wish I could remember what they were

Here is a picture of my first car which I tried to learn to drive in when I was 11 or 12 ------------------didn't go too well on the first attempt.
I managed to drive it into the woods at the back of my home and on the first straight it wobbled about -------------and fell over-------------I then found it had plate glass windows----------------it was obviously far too fast for me ;) ;) and maybe still is !!

Wait, what??? RX4 weights how much??? ???
I believe that you can get rx8 to weight around 1100kg quite easily. However, it needs mods so dunno if its road leagal then anymore ;) And if you want it to weight less than that, you need to mod it hard... ;)
I want to swap renesis on to e36 325 beemer. Why? Easy to get, cheap parts, lots of upgrades available and so on. And its a good car, great handling...
That yellow kit car looked nice. And that evo and skyline too ;)

Told my dad that rx8s can be picked up for less than £600 and he agreed that an rx8 is by far the best idea, no need to do anything except drop the engine in. I could probably even use an rx8 gear box too so I don't have to get a new prop shaft!

At the risk of some ridicule at the "period clothing" :-[ :) This was my first car: 850cc Austin Mini. But what year was the photo taken?
The picture was taken after some quick repairs following a slight bump into the rear of another car - those drum brakes were awful :(
Bring back any memories for the "more mature" generation on the forum ;)
