Well of course there was Dans, but I suppose that doesnt technically count as completed, or running, or probably even a car at this stage.

If I were you I'd be thinking about running reasonable but reliable power on a well setup and mapped engine. Better to have 300bhp and a nice reliable daily driver than a 400bhp grenade. Remember it all has to go through the front wheels. Spend the money on brakes and suspension.

i know.im not looking to go to high but im thinking around 350bhp-380bhp with turbo and ecu upgrades and hoping to make it a 4wd like we done to the colt with an evo 4wd into it,shorten the prop shaft and weld in rear diff mountings..floor plan looks the same.but never seen under a leggy.

Richard responds to PMs sent through this site.

I'm sure he doesn't want to be publicly available as he'd be inundated with questions from dreamers (like me)...

Somehow it never regeistered in my brain that you are converting to 4wd too, I thought it was just a straight engine swap. I see it now in the very first post, but its only when I read the last post about the floor plans that it clicked! Makes it that much more unique. Very ambitious, fair play.
