With the risk of being slated - kit/engine options

After spending what seems like forever working away I now find myself back at home with nothing to do. Need something to focus on for a while.

With the risk of being slated here goes:-
Any comments on which kit/engine combo to go for. Would like to visit some manufacturers but could do with some direction on where to start and dont want to wait for one of the shows. Ive built a st with fireblade lump b4 and would prefer something a bit quicker - maybe with possibilities of a turbo or nos.



** If anyones got a part build BEC they want to sell - let me know **

Andy Mullin is presently selling a near complete Sylva for a low price. He's based in York.

I'm not sure of your budget but at that price there might be plenty left over for personalisation and upgrades?

MK sportcars are at Worksop 01909 731187 (MK Sportscars.com) worth a visit, also I believe Robin Hood are not to far away. If you get really stuck on how to spend your cash my build fund is running low.

MNR are in Harrogate and engines options range from 900cc blade up to Rover V8.

Lots of engine choice there and a superb car to boot

There was a fella on here flogging an rx-8 engine, gearbox, diff and ecu for £3 last week. That can easily be turbod up to 450bhp. That should sort out your boredom!

I'm very disappointed at the total lack of gas turbines being fitted very high power to weight and not even a mention of rockets
