exactly.
He isn't sure if they can get the same engines though :evil:
but apparently they have the internal shell etc and he + 1 other are designing the outer shell. from what i've seen it will be fantastic and cost approx £40k. In full Type R tune (200 bhp) that thing would eat Ferrari's. |

also supercharged to 300bhp which works out to be 600bhp per tonne.
hopefully him and his mates can get it off the ground and into production.
they are aiming at 50 cars at the moment

If he gets one on the road, and doesn't kill himself I would REALLY like a passenger ride mate. |

You can lower the 'VTEC point' where the more aggressive cam takes over by using a chip by a company called Hondata.

would you want to?? Lowering the VTEC point means it kicks harder lower down the rev range instead of waiting till 5800 rpm. The pay off is the fueling needs changing and the engine is totally remapped. |
