Proper little go-kart. That'll surprise a few folks. Did you get it all to fit under the engine cover?

This is now having another engine going in currently trying to sort the loom, removed this lot so far Should make a good fun car, 150bhp with mild mods, light and easy to tune. I have launch control and full throttle shifts too

Finally decided on the turbo i'm going to use. It's rhf4, quite similar to the one the charade engine used originally but is a ball bearing turbo. Should be quick spooling and good for around 170bhp, also easy to live with as a daily driver steering column is mounted. Gear linkage works well and is better positioned than the coupe with the Aseries

I raced one of these with a 200bhp Metro/Copper S engine in Hill Climbs many years ago, it was quicker than the Minis due to much better traction plus it was much lighter...great little cars

I'm liking the look of this. Nice fabrication happening, and right up my street as a concept. Updates more regular than once a year required for this, please

GTMS are one of those things that I utterly adore but won't even try to sit in because I'll be disappointed that they don't fit 6'3" fat men *n

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Had a friend draw up the flange for the head and laser cut locally. Decided the turbo in this picture would be too laggy for daily use. If anyone wants to buy a rebuilt t25 I'm selling it! I'll try update more often There are a few coupe owners over 6ft! Your welcome to try squeeze into it if your local.
