Hey all, it's been a while since I've been on these here forums, but I thought that you all may be able to offer some insight.

I have a concept for a new project, basically a mix between a Supermarine Spitfire, Jaguar XJ12 (V12) or 280Z (I6), and a 30's-60's Formula 1 or Voitourette race car with new suspensino tuning technology.

My alternative is to finish building my Toyota Cressida, which would entail coilovers, LSD, Racing Seat, 5-speed and rollcage for full on drifting use. I got this car for free and would be able to complete everything I hope to do for well under $2000 (USD). This car would be sold in near stock condition to fund the building of the Jag-Fire mentioned above.

For the textually impared, ought I pursue this:

OR...

Any thoughts on which would be more worth pursuing?

The new project!!!
Have you got any design drawings on your idea - sounds intriguing!!

Not sure the Spitfire Propellor would get through the SVA test - I think Motorised Pedestrian Slicers are a fail

Hi mind you didnt some one in one of the mags put a 27L merlin in to a rover SD1 or somthing simalar . Cant remember what i was reading over the festive period.

cheers matt

There was an attempt at a METEOR engined SD1 yes... meteor is a non-supercharged detuned merlin...

some others have been done as well
