need to eek a bit more than 300bhp out of it though

A bit of work, Evolution spec and 500HP+ should do the trick i think...and i'll have that bright yellow Evo 7 as a daily runaround...

Turbo 6R4 was for RallyCross....Will Gollop had over 1000bhp on gravel (0-60 in under 3 seconds on gravel, and back to 0 in under 1 second )

Real 6R4's actually come with varying displacements......between 2.5 (high revver) to 3.0 with more torque.

And lots of people buy the Kit Car version and use a Cosworth 4 pot turbo for a cheap monster

Roof and dash board and door skins are original....I have co driven in one (ie navigated on a rally)

Never been accelerated LATERALLY so fast......one stage started in the middle of a "snail shell) where you started going left...and carried on getting wider and wider for 360 degrees and then up a 1 mile straight.....

so acceleration to the straight was CRITICAL.,..and my sides hurt from the pressure....it never let go, right up to 5th gear at 120ish....

not a normal car.....I had bruised shoulder blades from the harnesses not being tight enough on Stage1 and the brakes were SO MAMMOTH I got chucked forward so hard I winced

A tool

You'd break it


Certainly a lovely bit of kit If I had the money to spare I'd love to have a dabble, shame I'm just skint

I like 6R4's...

This engine:



Doesn't actually look too rude until you realise it's in the boot of a Metro.....
