Bit nice!

That looks sooo much better as a 2 door

Scoobyslammed · 22 July 2007, 23:31

Have you made the front doors longer like on the Type R's, P1's & 22B's???
Nice project...

We are running an SMG engine similar to that used in Steves own 9.3sec 1/4mile car and Mikees Scoobyclinic drag car. Turbo size is undecided yet, but our target is around 700HP without nitros

We want to thoughly test the car first before we commit to any series

E_M_B · 23 July 2007, 11:40

LOL, fair enough.

But is the car primarily going to be "race spec" or a road going kinda car.?

Have you fitted/painted the kit yourselves, or did you farm it out to a bodyshop?

I was just wondering what the time scale was for fitting the kit...

My friend owns a bodyshop locally who we work with.

Timescale would be within a couple of weeks once the parts have arrived.... so looking at about a month- 6weeks

Looking good.
