I suppose driving it with one hand on the wheel and the other holding my mobile , will be out of the question.


A guy who did some engineering work on my Bird engine, he has a Rotrex supercharged Hayabusa Dax Rush like this

He will not drive it in the damp or wet !!


Its too scary !

Around £10,000 ish.


Sub 3 seconds to 60mph.


7 seconds to 100mph.


Top speed , dont care but very little will stay with it to 130mph.


It will have the 126 wheelbase with a Escort width track.


So handling will be razor sharp, Escort quickrack to keep up with it.


Less than 600kg.


Staying with a Retro theme, so the car outside will stay in white, bumpers chromed etc. Rear windows will be dark perspex.


Original dash staying, but with a digital Koso tacho/speedo.


Interior will be more race based, Kirkey seats & minimalist.


Here are a few examples
