The struts are where they were initially...... atleast that's my observation after lookin under my hood and gettin some rough measurements......... it's the firewall that has been pushed back..... :D...... can anyone confirm that?

I'll believe it when I see some more revealing pictures. Like the interior where the drivetrain would have to run. And fact that the bonnet doesn't match between pictures...

:roll:

10A/12A rotary engine would be my guess, but others on the boostcrusing.com forum have other ideas...
OK i'm new on this forum but even i can see the nose cone on the Engine bay picture its an RX3/808!! not the engine bay of the suzuki..

i highly doubt the engine is in that car. the pics don't match, look at things like the rego sticker and wipers as well as the dash(as much as you can see anyway). looks to me like its all a lie :cry: shame cos that setup in a hatch or mighty boy would be sweet (read: crazy :lol: )

Yeah nice spot - total fake. I took a quick look and assumed the bonnet had to be reverse opening because of a modified firewall, but on closer look its just an RX engine bay!

Bit of a shame it wasn't real, would have been an awsome car. Still, something to dream about!

I wonder what i would do with my hatch if it could go 207kph

Well, it might not be road registerable but at least it's genuine (most have probably seen these photos but i thought some mightn't have)
just a shame the pics are so small

Anyway have fun and I'll see ya at the cruise hopefully.

From what I have found out through some quick googling, the car runs a Turbo 2.6L Astron engine (like a Mistubishi Sigma)
