Z cars rear engined set-up (similar frame work to yours I guess) With a Honda Civic Type R engine in it (2.0 16V VTEC, 220 ish BHP IIRC). Looked like a snug fit in there! Nice though.

Hi Ade, when did you start the project?? Just wandering how many hours you have put in so far less the engine problem.


Cheers mark :wales:

He has put many hours in making coffee and taking pictures. Not much actual work though :grin: :tongue: :cheese:

Ade's so excited he's obviously forgot to mention the slight error with the exhaust :cry:
Having put a spacer between engine and manifold to get the exhaust to exit out at the right height we now find that it blows so we've had to take out the spacer. This now means that the exhaust exits behind the bootlid instead of the hole thats been cut for it :cry: :cry: :cry:

Only cure is to cut the end off of the manifold and weld it back on at a different angle. :lol:

Must say though, it does sound almost as good as mine :cheese:

It's a living breathing thing now so it's flesh!! :tongue:

Well the exhaust is not a massive problem...... :fear: I was relishing having something to be happy about Pete :tongue:

I can assure you that it is a lot louder when you actually are anywhere near it!!! :nugget: The missus has already said it's too loud!! There's no such thing as too loud!! :lol: :grin:
