Well .. they do show Formula Women, in their catervans on the french channel. At least another score of empty kitchens!! I know bashing catervans is
fun but, letting a woman do it is just too evil!  ( i hope nobody of the fairer sex takes offence to this )

I like it as its different from the norm,just trying to imagine different colours as sometimes a colour change can make all the difference.
Also a mesh grill set a couple of inches behind the bars,and is the bottom hole/slit functional as a pair of driving lights would look good.
The above thoughts are really just for cosmetic looks but it is nice to see a different shape that gives you options.

600 BHP? Are you mad? Thats a 1000 BHP per tonne! Where do I sign? Oh no wait its a V8, thats 600 BHP per tonne. Never mind.
Seriously though, you'd need wheels of a Viper to put that kind of power down, and new rear tyres after every set of traffic lights.

Borg Warner T5 if you want a manual, but you will need an adapter ring..
Same box as sierra cosworth..
I think you should do a 2.0 turbo car... SR20 or if you really want a fast car, RB26DETT... awesome...
800bhp anyone?

marc in that case, i would suggest one of the new V8's made from bike engines. I cannot remember the guys who make them, but, they are more
suited to the vortx rather than those huge american engines. I'm pretty sure you know about them.

expensive including a 30 hour rebuild interval

I've edited one of the photos to make the body blue, but Locostbuilders won't let me upload it properly. Can someone else host a pic for
me?

Very nice Marc. Too bad you didn't manufacture it two years ago when I started mine! I wouldn't have gone through all the trouble of
making the bodywork myself!
I prefer the photoshopped version with one bar in each of the two holes though.
