I don't think he has enough space under his bonnet windscreen. :P

If it can sound as good as the S13 in the above link then he simply NEEDs to mod whatever to get them to fit!

I don't think there is much difference in height between these and the standard inlet manifold.

From fitting them today (that picture was of my set) they're not straight bolt on, they're going to take some significant work and then you'll need to either build an airbox or run an aftermarket ECU with MAP and TPS rather than MAF (also and TPS).

All in all a considerable cost with no real advantage other than the noise for a stock engine.

Good job mine wont be stock really.

Someone said to me - it just so reminds me of a Japanese bullit train !!!

I can kind of see where they're coming from

Now you mention it I can sort of see the resemblance. You should to chop the front end off another Espace and turn it in to a matching trailer

so many ideas, so little time !!

[The Nur]

Do it!

[AW111]

Slice the second one off a bit ahead of the b pillars, new front bulkhead and a-frame, job done.

Keep the rear doors functional.

[Storer]

Next one mid engined and a roof chop of about 50%.........

As it is long wheelbase then at least a V12


I just happen to have a spare biiiiiggggggggggggg V12.

That would be so awesome! Merlin powered mid-engined Grand Espace!

[JonRB]

Now *that* would be epic.

[Jayfish]

Merlin needs to go 'on display' in the bed of a hearse

[rehab71]

Do it!

Then we'll have the greatest double build thread of all time!

For the trailer (depending on desired size), remove the whole between the A pillars and either the B or C pillars, and re-attach the front and rear ends together.
(Obviously need to remove engine, front axle etc)
