Apparently so ! I need to take a photo of my engine bay, everyone will just laugh at how much is ramshackled into such a small place
Actually this is a standard bay -
To fit anything, most of the car has to be taken apart

I like mine for its mid range acceleration. 3rd gear onwards its a torque monster
Never really bother doing standing starts, 1st and 2nd are over too quick and full of wheelspin to get a decent time

No.....
And I agree matt, I think the main issue is getting the power down in first and second, hence why i have a slight advantage
