For someone more than a little bit daft ... :jump:
Thinking about things, such as custom made chassis ...

How about putting mechanical bits from the front of a 3SGTE Celica turbo into a custom chassis, driving the front wheels ...
AND
The mechanical bits from an MR2 Mk2 Turbo into the same chassis driving the rear wheels ...

Could have 700bhp without too much trouble, 4WD, could do it inside 1000kg I should think :driving: Have to synchronise the gearshifts but that's been done before.

I'd be glad to input some structural engineering knowledge to the chassis design, if anyone's mad enough! :)

With 700bhp PT you could just use a coffin as the body... ;) lol

That would be Paul then, although it could describe anyone on here.... lol

this has been done in a mini cooper many years ago and think that may actually have resulted in the regretable loss of a life but could be wrong, also been done a MK1 golf with brilliant reults and big power and awsome track and trap speeds !

There is a guy in portuagal or greece or such like that actually took a celica 2.0Gt and cut the front end and floor pan out and welded the parts back in from a GT4 and was a very very good job but wouldnt recomend anything like this for normal sane people as the bott had to be ripped out as well so was major surgery dont ask why but might be found on the celica or GT4 sites somewhere !
