	So, how quick/fun is it with a turbo?

	mega mega super dupa ace skill fun! I'm likin the skill word, i shall be using it more and more along with herbert as an offensive word Nah the turbo is cool, keeps me busy tinkering and goes well too. i recon about 80-90bhp but the car is under 600kg so that makes all the difference. I don't need stiffer dampers or better breakes because there is less to suspend and slow down! J

	Do you reckon you could get an Impreza WRX engine in the back of an Imp.....?

	yeah but it would ruin the handling great for straights, but as soon as a corner looms large youd be well and truly buggered. a bike engine would work nicely as they are not too heavy, I'm currently thinking of a twin 400 or 600cc bike imp, both longitudinal and coupled together to run a limited slip rear IRS of some kind. 15000RPM anyone? and the sound could be tuned by running the engines at different crank angles to eachother.

	A million times better, mate. Sorry I didn't get my into gear into finding you that one that I know is buried in the mother-in-law's shed... But now, come to think of it... I reckon it'd look bostin on the front of Pele, my everyday Imp (currently has the same Hitler moustache badge and a pair of cack plastic 1980s spot lamps....niiiiiiiiice). You've given me some Inspiration, mate ;D
