One limit would be that it does'nt fly! I can not see why you would want to put too much power in some thing that does'nt weigh alot maybe 550-700kg max. As the chassis is only light I would have thought that it twists as you drive it, espeshily if your running any thing over 250lbs springs.
Much more than a 200bhp NA 4 pot or even mild V8 and you'll end up shreading the tyres in the dry or it being a pig to drive in the wet.
Unless of course your using it for drifting then put in welded steel floor,up the box section to 2mm,reinforce the rear diff mounts and suspension abit and add a full rollcage. That I can do for about £1800
What colour do you want it?
