What do you get if you cross a 25 V6 Turbo with a Metro ?

You have probably seen this... Looks impressive, 300 BHP though ??

All done at road legal speeds presumably :wink:

Thats one of my customer's cars..... 2.5 R25 engine, my Stage 2 Turbo, boost upgrade, uprated fuel pump, chargecooler, carbon CDA intake, bigger injectors, ecu upgrade - only around 250bhp, not 300..

What's holding it back to 250bhp Dave :?:

It seems to have the full works re; engine mods inc manifolds:?:

Looks nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

Standard manifolds, standard ecu...

The key difference being that it isn't mid engined, probably still has four seats. What a horror. And how much!! :shock:

Its pretty much the same conversion as the other one! Its rear engined and has some decent bits to it.....obviously the fact that its not finished is very suspicious...if you'd gone that far why wouldnt you just complete the job if it was easy!!??
I particularly like the questions at the bottom "is it front or rear wheel drive?" :lol:
