what engine do you have as soem cars offer a larger space, the basic locost needs modifying to accept the pinto and other engines due to the chasis rail heights

Had to purchase a whole metro to get it.

You are more than welcome to buy that but will be keeping the engine .

Spec as follows
-160vvc engine with about 40k on it had new waterpump, head gasket and belt this year.
-Inlet manifold has been ported and polished.
-pipier 270 exhaust cam
-fse power boost valve
-z and f remap on rolling road
-pipecross filter
also janspeed exhaust but this will need to be romoved now looking for a suitable car to put it in.

5k is hardly project money.

Still looking engine is waiting to go in.
Was going to post a wanted ad on pistonheads but seems you have to pay for this,
also if someone is a member of wscc forum would it be possible to post a wanted ad on there for me.

Procomp la gold on pistonheads with engine at £5k
The engine would be worth a fair amount too if you wanted to sell it on to recoup some of the outlay!

Had a look at the pro comp car looks a very well speced car but looking for a road car which is the reason I am after a independent car.

I know it is not registered but at that price may be worth a look. The striker would suit the k series well.
