well i bought my corsa to race 2.0 hotrods, i bought engine gearbox everything basically and stripped the full car and lowered it, im using the 2.0 8v out of the 130 bhp cav
reason for this is your not aloud valvers in this class and these engines run sweet with set of webber or bike carbs
but ive been lending a rwd mk1 toyota starlet for the start of the season and most cars are rwd in its class
so i got it out my other unit last nite and start to match up parts
the only dialemma stering rack sits rite where i want the gearbox im usin a 2.0 colton box [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
old rear subaru subframe i had lying around [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
how it matched up perfect [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

cant use bike carbs in hot rods if you read the rules they state this but if you run on twin 40,s they good for barford you going to build hot rod or stock rod
