this was delivered to SA's best dealership today...  :D

looks great, much better in the flesh than the pics i was email of it.  sadly we couldn't get it started so it's having a sleepy time at the werkshop until tomorrow (at least).

more details as i find them out, as i honestly don't know much about the car   :-[

here's what i think i know...

1.5L
turbocharger from a Nissan SR20 (i think) running 7psi
intercooler from a Subaru Liberty
race seats and wheel from OMP
wheels from Simmons, 15 inch i think, maybe 14

can't wait to drive the little sucker!  sadly i'm too fat for the race seats, Les came with me and laughed his tits off watching me squirm into them.  will try them out for a few days/weeks and see how i go.

err... where does the air to feed the engine come from?

and how does the intercooler get air flow to cool it?
