Brayden is right. It is impossible to get it engineered. But it doesn't matter as i never intended on registering the car in the first place. Just gonna use it on the track.

Each State has different laws for engineering. But i do know that it is actually harder to get engineers in Victoria than most other states. I've tried to get one of my other cars engineered in Victoria and it was almost impossible, the things they want you to do compared to other States is ridiculous.

Where are you gonna run a radiator?
Because it looks like there's not much space in front. :wink:

Yeah i've realize that. I was thinkin of running the radiator on the left hand side of the motor, (like the mini cooper) theres still a fair bit of room there, and because both manifolds are on the other side then there should be no problem. I'll just have to make some flutes or something to catch the air. I'm sure i'll make it work one way or another.

He might be able to if it replaces the front grille area.
Look into an alloy one from a Peugeot 505 its fat, alloy and compact.
In racing the limit is the start of your front bumper.

The seats are out of a Suzuki Alto (Jap version). I stripped one a while back to use the turbo engine for my Mightyboy.

but very long and still little room for a clutch.

The rx7 s1 box bellhousing on a 323 box is the smallest and shortest.
