Nice, gonna be pretty awesome! Look forward to pictures

It was that book that inspired me to get a 1380cc conversion on my Metro Turbo.

Not the greatest base car to start with, but it was my first car, heavily modded, never looked back.

It was quick with a thirst for oil, and an unsettling handling trait of the old hydrogas suspension was that entering a bend to quickly could setup a pendulum motion of rocking from two wheels on the left to two on the right - scary.

GT3786HTA works really really well on a 2.35 :D

:thumb: aiming for 700+

Nice project.Track or road,or a bit of both?.SJ.
