if i was you i would ring tiger kit cars and speak to them about how they sorted the gear linkages on there twin engined kit car,
i know they were bike engines and both in the front but it must be the same principal and they got bith engines runnign fine to be able to do a 2.8 sec 0-60!

The bloke who is in charge of the north-west area was at the thundersprint on sunday & i did get speaking to him about a few things & also what I was planning to do to the corsa. he seemed pretty interested in the project & gave me his card so I'll give him a ring about the linkages like you say. He didnt mention about the twin engine car though!
(Look in my garage, under Thundersprint 2004, there is a picture of the red tiger racing kit car in there)

ah right, thats not the kit car im on about, its yellow and tiff done a 0-60 test in it! I have the companies email at hoem that done the engines but im not at home!
I see they had the formula jordan there, that thigs crap we had a good look around at autosport and the layout is wrong and the bumpo steer will be terrible due to where the rack is positioned.

yeah they were doing a raffle to win a ride in it round oulton park (the yellow thing)... needless to say I didn't put my pound in! think they only sold about 20 tickets in the entire day!
the red tiger was a good one though, I asked them aswell if they had done one which takes an XE lump, but he said they mainly use ford engines but with a bit of work, one which takes a Zetec engine 'might' be ok with an XE lump... For the price though.

Trust me it will be... there is no way to get a car on the back garden as there isn't enough room between the wall & the house, the car will need to be lifted over the wall!

storage shouldn't be a problem hopefully, I've found to garage's I can store the car in & work on it, and also having a word with my grandad at building a big fook off shed in his backgarden (its the size of a football pitch) so eitherway will be fine.
tbh im more tempted now with the twin engine idea, saves having to cut up 2 cars to make one, so instead will be just butchering the 1! but yeah its gona be a ammmoth task!
More interested in it Now your pissed LMFAO
