    Hi Kevin, A few years back I mid-mounted a Subaru WRX Sti engine/transaxle in it as it had been racing with a 1200 Datsun in the back since 1989 but found that although it was a great package it was just not fast enough in today's world. Now it does 0-100k in 3.5, 240ks, & has been super reliable for many seasons. (change oil, go racing......)Reece.

    Thank's for that Reece, neat setup, would love to do something like that with an imp & have always thought what you have built would be ideal, have just sold my lotus replica [locost] & would love another toy but the years are catching up on the body a bit, [back, knees, etc] best of luck with your future racing.
