    little cars playing with the big dogs..
    having had a transaxled boxer up front, 2wd (scary as all heck as there is no way to keep the ass end on the ground)

    this video has yet to leave my memory..



    the 1.7liter can hit 10000 rpm... yes a 3 main boxer.
    the one in video is racing league rules, and 2.0 (easier on rpms)

    this makes a mini..look like a mini.

    I am trying to get my own 1781cc to 9000 stable.
    blew out an epoxy accel coil..and realized the chassis can't disperse it to sustain.
    stainless steel rockers, quarters, and strut towers lined, (304 stainless) is next.

    I am in for a surprise myself.

      pocket rocket....looks like a kick in the ass to drive...
