Put the engine as far away from the steering axis as you can, that's how to make a car that handles well

Its not vauxhall... The only turbo thats round that way (exhaust at the rear) is the 2.0 turbo from the Vectra C and its not that.

Four cylinder, coil packs, chain driven.. Doubt its jap as the gearbox is on the wrong side, they normally have the gearbox on the drivers side (right) for weight distribution.

Is it a VAG engine? They always seem to be round the wrong way (i.e. exhaust at the bulk head).

That is so f-ing cool!!!!!!
Proper job, external oil cooler, but tiny front brakes
Puts so many UK builders to shame. Greece and the Scandinavians, thats teh future of modified cars.
The UK is loosing it.
