feel free to try it and let us know haw big a ball ache it was

[Felix79]

they only have about 300ish bhp and I think they are a flat 4 engine so it has too much wrongness to beliave!

How ever I would love to have the V8 they put in the E34 as that would just be amazing sound wise.

my m8 has a rover v8 in a mk111 cortina,,,,,sounds the nuts,and goes like stink,

Turbo lag much also.

Dips has a big v8 in one of his tourings. He fired it up for us at the pod and it was just

Its a Rover V8 IIRC, i've seen the video and it sounds awesome

thing was bruital , I was right next to the engine as they fired it up!

I think it is very thirsty thought I will need to get dips to tell us the mpg on it.

I would have loved to have been there

I bet it is, can't be doing more than 12-15 mpg

[magpie]

my m8's one has a holly inlet and carb on it,,,adding a cool 50bhp,,it sounds like the gods are angry
when it fires up we went to ace cafe and back from soton on£30 and had plenty left on return home,,,
we had it off the clock a few times there and back,,,but it's a cow out on the town,well there is too many traffic lights to pull away from.deafening the bloke in the outside lane who was alongside,,but now a dot in the mirror

I think he said it was doing about 3mpg when asked at the pod, but the engien will still being reved so could easily miss heard

Scoobies have boxer engines, and they wont fit between the suspension turrets IIRC.

[magpie]

may be why we have no pics of one or talk of it in one yet

[GrindCulture]

Spaceframe the front end, that'll give you enough room, but really whats the point? Not seen an RB Skyline motor yet, or a turbo Rotary. How about a turbine engine from a helicopter!? I'm sure if you get enough hamsters you'll be able to out perform an iS

[Cloud]

you'll be able to out perform an iS

I wouldn't go that far.
