saw a nice mid mounted supercharged V6 and auto in the UK.. final drive was a fat arsed belt to a jag rear end mounted backwards. clever engineering and fully chomed jag diff was superb.
as a looker awesome... but probably way to top heavy to corner nicely

Hang on, How did that get engineered ?
There is no Windscreen !


LOL - a mate of mine built a westfield a few years back - in Vic, you guys are NSW so I'm not going to say this is the rule everywhere - the westfield is a new car, and this moke may be registered as a new car as well - for a new car, you don't have to have a windscreen, if you don't have a windscreen you don't need wipers, if you don't have doors, you don't need side intrusion bars, etc. etc.

there are many many loopholes like that - you've just gotta have a creative and enthusiastic engineer....


very true, if you chop up a mini then it is no longer classed as a mini but a new "kit car" and it has to comply with the new standards, so it has to have e.f.i etc. a stupid rule but oh well, flip front builders beware these rules apply to them to!!! :twisted:
