Eeeeerrr.....

Since your nickname is 20Vturbo, why don't you consider to fit a VAG 20 VT engine ?? More power than a Pinto, that's for sure....

Hi,

Have you thought about fitting a 1.6 cvh? They weight less than the pinto and are still faily cheap and easy to get hold of. I think the standard 1.6cvh is more powerful than the 1.6 pinto as well. Sorry i've not helped with the origanal question but it was just a thought.

Where did you stay in Le Mans? There were a few Ultimas at the camp site I stayed at.

Luego make 7 style kits, never seen one close up myself but there are a number of companies making these kits, buy yourself a copy of Which kit or Kit Car magazines - loads in there with reviews etc.

Luego do make a bloater of a 7, so if you're a particularly large person in either girth and/or height, the they might be a good choice.

That bloater of a Luego looks like a Range Rover with the roof cut off,it's massive.
