Haha, never spotted the alloy wheel hose reel, we have a simple steely for a hose reel lol.

It is a bit too much though lol. But looks like a lot of money has been thrown at it though with all the next level suspension etc.

A JRE engine costs upwards of £15k, just to give you an idea of how much is invested in this car

It's just bolted to the wall mate, there's no suspension.

I wouldn't care if it has 190bhp, bet it handles like it's on rails!

I'd hate to think how much that would cost to build, independent reat suspension.

If I had that sort of money I would defo do a project like so.

Looks amazing. Not about how much power it has, it's about how well the car can use it and to me looking at the suspension setup and the rest of the car - looks like it can use the engines potential!

Its built to compete in FWD 1400 class in rallys so yeah, it'll do well at that. I'd certainly enjoy scaring myself for an afternoon in it.

And when you crash you haven't wrecked a £30k car. You just unbolt everything and fit it back to a £500 corsa.
