hey guys, thanks for the positive feedback :)

to answer a few questions,

the car has only run 11.7@118mph with the NA motor, the motor is mild, and the stall is quite low and its heavy :( around 1250kg.

as for power with the turbo, iam not expecting to much, initally iam only going to run around 6psi and no cooler etc so i think around 450rwhp and a lot of torque, it should run high 10's on 6psi if all goes well.

the car is fully engineered with the current motor, and will be engineered with the turbo setup, once completed.

the car has had the rear inner wheel tubs extended to fit the bigger tyres.

no probs guys, ill see what i can do.

probably wont be able to see much with the fuel cell and pump, battery etc.

bascially looks like, the guards have been cut, move ib and a section welded down the middle.
