Luego Viento For Sale


I am selling my Luego Viento, built by myself over a few years

It started out with a c20xe engine running through a type 9 on twin 45 dellortos

I soon got used to the power so the quest for more began, and only 6 monts since passing sva the c20xe was removed and i came across an sr20det

This was fitted over the winter and now this engine has been in the car for 2 years now and my god its crazy now

The car passed sva on the first retest and date of first registration is 09 04 2009, failed due to a few sharp edges and the speedo not reading correctly

The car has 9 months tax left and has done just over 1800 miles since passing

The reason for selling her is that i am starting on a new project soon, I have a 1987 land rover 90 that needs a full strip down and rebuild



Chassis and bodywork

Chassis is factory made buy Luego, powder coated black but is coming off in a couple of areas
Its double wishbone suspension all round with polybushes, and i had the crush tubes plated so they wont rust
The bodywork was supplied buy Luego as well but i believe they outsourced all the fibreglass work
The bodywork is in a bright red colour with alloy side panels
I have fitted my custom made aero screen but i ran out of time to get it painted so it is white at the moment


Engine and Transmition

321bhp sr20det engine from an s14 200sx, all alloy engine
760cc injectors
Z32 air flow meter
Uprated engine mounts, they are nice and stiff but remove the vibrations
Tubular exhaust manifold with t28 turbo charger, small ish size for quick spool up but still makes good power

Rear disc brakes from an xr4x4 as well

You are going from one extreme to another, Tom - from that crazy 300bhp, 0-60 in 1 second to a bloomin' 'drover 0-60 in june-august You'll want to get out and walk!

Seriously, though, I remember seeing it at Stoney - it looks a peach - worth every penny you're asking for it, but I don't think you'll sell it here - everyone's already got one kit or other - you'll have to 'bay it methinks! Good luck.

nah thats not scary, scary is when you are doing an alledged 85 up the motorway and a bomb disposal landy goes past you like your standing still.

70 in a defender Scary?

Its a bit like 70 in a 1959 Mini 850 with Drum brakes, done on roads in the early 1970's!

Make sure you point the new owner of the Viento into the direction of LCB and us lot meeting up at the shows.
