Been to GTS today and picked up my new project

Plan is to fit 2.1 Pinto type 9 and LSD and go and have some track fun.

i must admit, although my new car isnt on the road yet, the side impact bars make the car feel much much safer! wether they actually work or not is
another thing, but they give me more confidence and feel a lot less 'open'

Please consider a more track focused engine if that will be its main use!
And no I'm not starting the age old CEC vs BEC debate!
