Are we looking at the car that could challenge Mr Forrest. ......

Can't believe it's road legal, must be insane cruising around in it.
Great work Matt, can't wait to see what figures this car makes.

Simply breath taking. The attention to detail is astonishing and a real credit to all who have created it.

Thank you folks it's not been easy but starting to love the car again now

Wrx originally it was just a fast road car build for my self then it transformed to where it is now after doing different events in other cars we built at the moment it's leaning towards the 22b sprint series and totb events and General track use I was going to do TA in it but wasn't that impressed with the series last year so iv put that on the back burner for now but also love having the car on the road it has great road manors so trying to use it as much as poss to get used to it as its like nothing Iv built or drove before

Incredible work, Matty! Those photos of it just cruising down the road, surrounded by normal cars, are brilliant. Other road users must get the scare of their lives when they suddenly see that beast approaching in their rear view mirrors. What bhp is it running now?

Just a quick question Matty. What is the benefit in joining the 2 exhaust pipes like that and then splitting back into twin boxes?

Thank you all its much appreciated hopefully becoming to a few events near you soon

Brownpants the x join is to balance the exhaust pressure in the system as there is always a difference in them also when full single ones for each bank its like a 1.3turbo 3 cylinder so sounds rubbish also without it once hounded it sounds like a super bike

That's one fast 1.3L turbo!

Makes sense to me. Do you have a video of it running? Bet that sounds like a beast.
