A bought one, but the deal fell through, as a v4 i imagine the exhaust manifold would cost alot, but it would sound beautiful.

In a luego velocity to be precise

i would call it enough!

don't expect blistering performance saying that its pretty good driveable!

on idle just slowly dip clutch and away you go

after my SVA i will comment you more.

but 110BHP is enough on 520kgs not?

(for my pocket it is)

THANKS for that, ive been offered one in a chassis CHEAP but want to compete in sprint along side blades and busas so might be a little under par

yeah off course!

you could do it, but you would need to fit 2 of them then.

even then there could be more easier solutions to do sow..
