ahaaa, i scanned the pics from the magazine so I could do some photoshop trickery and play with the car colours to see what looks good, but the mag
print is a bit grainy.
those wallpapers look like the fullsize digicam shots so i'll use them instead, cheers!

how fast is a vortex with a blade engine. I am about to start building one and am unsure what engine to choose.

top speed with a 3.62 diff is about 120,but its the getting there thats the buzz,its very light and very responsive,
oh i have 15 inch wheels also
it is more than powerfull enough,too many people go for busa ect but i love the blade,its robust and after the rolling road puts out 130bhp at the
rear wheels
hope that helps

thanks rizla.
top speed is not my thing. I want acceleration. is a 90 Nm 900cc engine up to is or is a 120Nm 1100cc engine just too much?

i personaly love the blade(marc also uses this in the race car) i was surprised at how much pull(torque)it had,ive done a fair bit of circuit racing
in my youth(bangers,stock cars,formula first and a short stint in tvr tuscan) and handleing is my thing not top speed,having said that 120 is more
than il ever need on the road and more than ok for track use
