1600cc ZR Rally Car Build Up

Here's a little video of my build for those that haven't seen it...

Love it, what's the power delivery like? having driven several Super 1600 K series (varying from 180-220 bhp depending on the spec) they are very "balls to the wall" to drive either everything or nothing on them. I would guess the B16 is very "useable" in a regular road situation?

Hello mate, hope you're well!

It's awesome mate. You can drive it around like a shopping car and then drive the balls off it when you want. You get the power without having to 'wrestle' with it like a full out kit car. My old man ran an Astra Kit car (RML) and that was a real handful. This is much more refined... For now.

Depends if you often have people in the back or not. :-/
My mate has a stripped out pug 106 with some stupid size engine in it and he manages just fine with only 2 seats. But he never had anyone in the back before he got this car so I guess thats why its practical for him.

If not you could always fit some ZR seats and strip your car as much as possible.

Thanks! Took 5 years to get to where it is now. That was buying things at snails pace. Took a while! lol
