One day, if I ever get my hands on a workshop and welder etc, I want to take a Skoda Rapid 135RiC (low comp Bendix injection experiment with CAT) replace the intake manifold with that from a MPi Felicia or Fabia so I can use standard Bosch injectors, take the turbo from a small Ford or VAG TDi and install a top mount intercooler, and run everything including boost control and water injection from a megasquirt ECU, mapped from the incar PC, with a custom interior and dash board, and give it a mental oldskool group 4 wide arch kit (maybe even use Nova arch repairs for the shape) and a liveried paintjob.

He used the ancient 4 speed Hydramatic auto and a Jag Mk10 rear end, but neither was really up to the torque. -- When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane Dave Plowman dave@davenoise.co.uk London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound.
