Ahh, maybe I misunderstood. If you still need to beat this Civic and you're not bound by race regs, can you not throw in a tuned 2 litre?

does this look standard?

His previous engine

Thing is, I think its a limit on weight? and wouldn't handle as well with a heavy 2.0 16v up front... compared to the 1.4... but that engine bay is a beautiful sight

Marc, the ST has 170 brake out of the box. It is also very good in the wet (this is Britain). The Ctr cost at least 30k, won the first race by 6 feet to a XR2, and lost the second to a Suzuki Swift
