I would expect to see the engine facing that way if it was rear wheels drive to be honest ......... nearly all rear wheel drive cars will have the engine sitting in that way. You only need to look at Skylines, Cossies, Marge etc etc etc. Bet that thing is mental. I''ve heard stories of throttle bodied turbo cars and i beleive that it would be able to run silly amounts of power

Dont have any more pictures... i asked for... but there is no more... the picture comes from Brasil.
Wich gearbox they use with LET for RWD?
i dont think its a 1st akeem.. i know of a corsa built for spanish wrc a few years ago is 4x4 running on a cav 2lt 16v touring car engine
which floorplan did they use for it? and rear setup?
