Awesome work, especially on the rear suspension. Had a 1.4 340 as my first car, loved the RWD but the engine was a gutless piece of cr*p. Currently thinking of getting another and putting in a volvo 2.3 turbo engine...

Forgot to mention, i swapped the old engine into a mates car as i'm now planning on using a T5 engine in this one coupled to a corvette transaxle from a C5. Anyone in the US fancy sending me one over? Adam

I presume the corvette one would be more suited as it's already designed for FR setup, whereas the porsche one is designed to be the other way round and attached directly to the engine?

I did consider porsche but for my application thjey just arent strong enough and the space issue is the problem. The only porsche box that would of suited is that from a 928 as the diff is rear of the gearbox part compaired to all the 924 944 boxes that have the diff forward of the gearbox section. I have an axle in the way for that. Plus the corvette boxes will take alot of lb/ft standard. Adam
