if you get suspension geometry good and the weight to as near 50/50 as possible it in theory should be fine.

Depends on how its built mate, i have driven a few rear engine bike powered cars on tracks and they handle well.

i know a lad who had rwd nova and said it was pretty scary cos front felt so light!

i toyed with idea of making van rear engined until i spoke to hime and just imagine all the work of doing conversion then driving it down the road to find it handles worse then before!

i would be gutted! who point should be to improve the car!

tought on,

but on engine wise, z20lets are great, i love them! choose z20 over c20 anyday!

calbe shift gears etc! lovely!

how can you watch a build view of a car that never had a progress thread, and that was made at least 3/4 years ago?

A lad at my work is having his grasser made on a jig. Costing him a fair bit but he said he would much rather pay for something being correct, rather than just thrown together.

He obvioulsy meant it looked 'mint' as in amazing looking, not that it doesn;t have any rust.

Take a compliment.
