    or

    yeah, often thought a mid mount one would be a lot of fun. But by the time you invented some decent suspension for it the thing would probably be too modified to pass engineers for rego without becoming an ICV...LOL

    No fiats for me, they are like pommy cars but with more rust.

      yeah i know 16v heads are incredibly pricey, but he didnt mention price restrictions, jsut sleeper suggestions haha

      i'm sloooowwwwlly building an 8v turbo for my 124.. 8v is more than adequate really, the 8v integrales that they rallied officially had 285bhp (in practice a lot more depending on who you talk to), and that was with standard manifolds, standard turbo, and standard internals (homologation 4tw). I'm on the look out for a regatta 100s head at the moment. They are different to a grale head tho from what i've seen, because the regatta 100s engines werent reverse port (http://www.fiatregatta.com.ar/fotos/...aveira/34.html)

      you can always hear them when they break and they stop the engine immediately so you can't do any more damage.

          Steve has a '72 spaceship crown he offered me pretty cheap once before. He also has another MS112. Hmmm... I think the body would fit on a lux chassis, I could do an AWD BB427 EFI haha

          Wish I bought that 260C coupe I saw at the wreckers a while back, it was rust free...

            Get an evo 4 (as they dont have the flared guards) and put GLi bumpers, bonnet and hubcap-style wheels on it

              Nissan Prarie with my GTiR SR20DET setup…. Will bolt straight in (with my mounts). Or Nissan Escargo with above setup, again bolt in :D

              I guess my ET is a bit of a sleeper too, shitty black steel rims, no wings or crap hanging off, SR20DET inside.

              All of the above vehicles will not handle, well I’d imagine not so great anyways.... but massive skids.

                  Pretty sure Steve has 11ty billion MS112 and MS123 bare chassis there too. Does he still have that TT 1UZ lying around or did he sell it? There's a plan.....

                    nah pretty sure he sold the TT 1UZ. Yeah he had a pile of 123 chassises. The gold 112 was pretty straight and rust free too as I recall.

                        Look at that regatta closely. The last models into australia were reverse port...and they are significantly better.

                          seriosuly, who here has EVER looked at a fiat regatta and thought "i reckon that thing is pretty rapid"?
                          Along the same lines.....Lancia Beta Sedan with Intergrale motor. Should bolt it. Could even make it AWD if you really felt like a headache.

                              A stock looking WB Statesman with a cammed GEN3 would definitely take ppl by surprise.

                              Secondhand GEN3's are cheap as chips nowadays too.
