Confused!! What engine
Im new to this and im looking for information before i go off and build my first car. With the roadster what specifications does the engine have to be to fit the haynes design???(does it have to be RWD etc)
I was thinking about a honda vtec engine but looking through the forum they dont work with this design. Im looking for something with fast acceleration so any suggestions??

The Vtecs are expensive engines to find, really expensive to repair, expensive to tune and the gearbox is noisy. But it does give you good power and high rpm.
Audi turbo is a very suitable alternative.

Neil,
Had a look at your flickr site - your build looks really interesting. I notice that you have made an adaptor plate 4AGE - MT75 gearbox. Was this straightforward, I am thinking of doing the same. Here's one for the Toyota engines! Spalders
