Looks like inbreeding to me!

 

OMG!!! That should be illegal!

 

Sacrilege!

Though this could be the opening for some amusing games... What can you do with a Boxster, a Z3, or a Miata to "spruce them up"? I am sure we could come up with some fascinating ideas...

 

damn, you guys are harsh! I think its pretty kick ass! but that's my take. all of the F20c's being put into smaller cars - just because its not badged as a Honda.. heck! just look at the street rod guys, they have chevy motors and ford rear ends - they don't call it sacrilege!

 

I think it's pretty sweet. There's a local shop here that has put an F20C into a custom frame they built - total weight is about 1100lbs. That car is fast.

 

Well at least the oil filter is easy to get too... It's probably a massive improvement. the old British sports car engines used thick wall casting for many years. I don't know when they stopped. You could put a ford 289 in a British car and only add 20 lbs to the curb weight. Of course, one hard launch and the chassis turns into a twist cone. This car will be a screamer and I'm sure they won't be complaining about too little torque.

Still is I had to make the decision, I would have stated with a whole S2000 and trashed the Triumph. What was he thinking?

 

Sacrilege?!

No way. I bet this motor came out of a wrecked S2000 and dropped into this little soon-to-be monster. It looks like he races with the SCCA stickers on the car.

I admire this kind of thing. Lots of ingenious work needs to be implemented to accomplish this...and that will be one crazy fast Spitfire!


Kudos!

 

It's cool by me. Go get 'em tiger!!
