It's like nothing you'll have experienced before :lol: imagine a go kart that goes 100mph and that's roughly what it's like :lol:

The power is just unbelievable, there's always power no matter what gear and what rev
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

A let is that plus an extra 50hp just for fun :lol:

A 2 liter is very nose heavy tbh so not an ideal track car, a tuned 1.6 with a hybrid turbo would probably smoke a xe round a time trial track due to weight difference and better handling

An ideal track car should have a 50-50 weight distribution between front and back axle, but them cars tend to be expensive, rwd tends to be the best track car aswell

You could do it on the cheap, buy an 8v shell and fit a 16se from an astra and just sort suspension and all over a year :)
