had a look at their Citreon Saxo conversion where they mount a Honda engine in the rear of the car and put the petrol tank in the front of the car, behind hte radiator. Wouldn't fancy a head on collision with a full tank of petrol on board

Maybe it's stronger than it looks

Geary put together a fantastic spec turboed Hayabusa lightweight Elise about five years ago, 350+hp, but twas hard to get any update on the project, though I did have a pic of it with the clamshells off, though I do not know if it ever made it onto the road.

Must ask him.

I remember seeing that at the Donny show or was it the one at the horse and hound place down sarf. Tiny looking engine.
