I've seen the car, and from memory is pretty neat. The motor is the same as ours..from SSS and it just needs an ignition module to run, Not sure what exhaust etc he has made up although everything else has been done right...
I'm not far from there and can pop over with anyone who is unfamiliar with the setup.
hi there i for got to mention it has a single side plate box with custom built brass button clutch will try to get pics on the weekend
looking for between $6000 and $7000 selling as due to the new laws involving p platers i am unable to drive it also some financial reasons

Go to a wreckers and pick up some ignitors from a toyota camry. We just got 5 from the wreckers here in Darwin for $50.
Toyota ignitors are more or less the same from the lexus v8, soarer, camry, seca, landcruisers etc, and are very good quality. Oh, and they'll work with a microtech ecu.
If anyone needs a hand with the injection, I can get this baby running....Become a microtech master I have. Its all the little things like fuel pumps, radiator, thermos etc that have been done that end up costing over $1000
Glen, you cannot win all arguments until you have your closing argument, so sell your 1916 engine and you will be able to buy one of the quickest cars you will ever own!
Something for everyone to ponder on this beautiful Friday.

This would be a great project to buy.................maybe JVL should buy it, at least he could then start racing. :kiss
Started racing before you got out of your nappies Craig and built better cars.... and NEVER used coat hangers to hold my cars together.But thanks for the thought anyway.:kissJVLRacing
Now Craig, I said one of the quickest cars. With 16 pound of boost and sticky tyres that little super will do 0-100 in about 4 seconds and in the 12's for the quater. Thats engineered and street registered not like 90% of the cars at the drags last wed night.
I do not know what VWCOOL has owned or will own, although if thats no the quickest, it can not be far off....and all for under 10k
Hugs and kisses

Radiator pipes from front to back, clamps, mounts and rubber hose....$200 tops.
Not sure if he has run fuel lines yet...and we can run it without a swirl pot initially to get it started.
Exhaust...a couple of bits of straight 3 inch 1x45 mandrel and 2x90 mandrels and pick a muffler. I have a dump pipe already... and ill weld it up.Total $250
A few other little things....not much. I would have to go and look at the car, although if you got the stuff together, apart from the time consuming bits like welding exhausts etc....you could be driving it in a weekend.
I'll show you all the microtech crap so you can sort it if there is a problem later, or have to pull the motor.
