Twin Engined Twin Turbo Corsa
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
finished 4x4 setup, cav floorpan is all welded in and extra light bodypanels fitted, just need to work the gearlinkage and route the exhaust through the floor, because the exhaust gases can waft into the shell through the floor, i've made some custom vents in the rear quarter panels. all systems go for 2005 summer season, should be finished by november time hopefully

why would u have a 4x4 set up on the car when with a twin engine u have the engines running FWD and inderpendent. and why weld a cav floorpan in when its not needed in any way shape of form as the engine on a cav is still at the front of the car
me thinks hes read how to do a 4x4 setup (from reading the details i posted) and the decided to add his own little bits and bobs and post it on a little message borad to try and make him look good

Quote - finished 4x4 setup, which is 2 FWD engines, so the only way he can have set it up is to have mounted both engines and had them both running in sequince.
but as i said hes read about and made it up as he saying he is running a 4x4 setup as in, running a well down the middle of the car for a prop shaft to power the rear wheel (which isent going to be used as theres a engine powering the rear wheels rather then a prop shaft ) which you do not do for a twin engine car

Floorpan would mean you could run a prop shaft - which would be completely redundant with two engines.

not if running 2 engines, hence why I'm sourcing another corsa shell for the front running gear. Hopefully lookin at a few shitters this weekend tho...
cav 4x4 plan only needed if running 4x4 from one engine.

LS you'll find for 500 quid and you can't sell anything.
I picked up an SRi for 650 and sold most of it!
