After the title, I was expecting something a little "Halfords" - All GRP spoilers and 20" rims. How wrong was I?

That is a simply wonderful project! Consider this a bookmark!

Thanks.

you seem to have left a dustbin in the engine bay.

looks very very nice- was the body custom made to your spec, or someone elses ex-project?

Its a total one off that is being built from the ground up for myself.

Wow! That looks like it will be amazing! What unit are you using?

It's probably a steel portal frame one, though those door card pics do look like they've been taken in his kitchen.

HTH

Its actually an N-Technology 147 race car shell that we have taken and reworked and extensively re-engineered to take the GTR race engine and to run 4WD too..

800 bhp in a 1100kg car

We can run up to 1000bhp if really needed.

HKS Drag (120mm core) intercooler takes up the whole width of the engine bay/front space.



HKS T51 SPL BB turbo in the Alfa.

Trackdays,hill climbing,the odd rally sprint.

Its being built for the Fun Factor at the end of the day.

[sp2]

The floor on the passenger side is 3.5 inches higher than the floor on the driver side,this is to allow the exhaust to run under the passenger side floor and up and out through the rear quarter panel or just under the floor in front of the rear wheel (still to be decided).

FMIC piping is nice and short and fits in very nicely.
