Allright have got to come out now! haha they're not all mine offcourse!
I gotten 4 in total, 1 for Bas he's probably going to put it in his maclaren M6B if we can convince him, cause he wants to put it in a Midtec
Spider chassis (that 100% fits BTW we tried on a UN1 box)
1 is for Harm, he'll put one in his UVA fugitive.
1 is for a guy who imported a toyota soarer and wants a decent engine in that.
and for me... well if the striker gets sold I'll go for a GD T70, if it doesn't go and it needs to be a buget build It'll be a Spire
GTR with a modified chassis to take the torque.
well that's it.
I'll first get the engine to deliver some serious power with either 8 ITB's and a 7500redline or a charger and some boost.
or both if I get carried away as usual

I thought on this site that we all suffered the same sickness, but this is a horrible addiction that you have, and you have come to the UK to take an
overdose of the drugs of power you crave, and worse you now pedal what you cannot consume yourself.  .....................
So where did you get them??????

Ironic.
If I was going to buy an engine it would probably be from paul28pro ( http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZpaul28pro ) in the
Netherlands!
He's always got some weird/wonderful stuff, recently some Aston Martin V12's and they were only €12,000 brand new/complete.
Some more of his stuff is on http://websitemaker.kennisnet.nl/JonkerHuissen/
The Renault Turbo and V6 lumps are good value, as are the Zetecs.

indeed your quite right about that one!
the dutch bloke doesnt carry these, and surely can't get them as cheap as this again considering I bought 4 at once, via an english man on
lextreme

Hmmm good engine and a good choice of chassis if go for a GD T70.
I've drooled over one of their development cars recently at the tuning garage I use. Fitted with an LS6 plus Porsche tranxaxle very very very
nice and loud!

You're quite right Blimble!
The moment I set my *ss down in the seat at donnington last september i was imediatly sold! the position is so absolutly right, that Andy murmelled
"hmm I think I've build this car for him" reffering to my posture i think.
anyway I think it''ll be t70 anyway, only when the striker gets sold I'll be more afordable and I can get a rolling chassis stage at
once financially. just leaves the G50 and body, the rest can be done quite cheap when you think like i do.
anyway just let santa bring one over!
grtz Thomas
ps Blimble have you got any experience with this engine yourself?

Toyota/Lexus V8 - plentiful and cheap as chips ex-Japan ($NZ1500 or 500 quid UK). Adapts easily to Renault UN1 or Supra W5*.
