finally someone who can see than a well setup c20 can handle.

Mine doesnt handle bad once your used to it. No understeer at all, just snappy lift off and 4 wheel drifts on ocaision.

Light enough? No such thing Matty

AdamK - the c20xe is around 190kg with the f20, the x16xe is around 130kg with the f15

TBH jr, I'm sure it will be fine, I can see why you've done it, and as long as you actually USE the cunting thing this time around, then it'll be worth the sacrifice

...So theoretically, Even the blocks had the "lightweight treatment" by cutting as much metal out of the bores as possible .

Whats the planned spec for the engine?

On the subject of handling, just tried searching for a picture of a C20 in a Cavvy touring car. I'm sure they used to be stupidly low in the engine bay (presumably due to a dry sump). Dunno if it's feasible for road use, but could be something to look into ?
