Matt,
Love the idea, love the experimental nature. This is what people should be doing now these cars are down to the 4k bracket, why not??
Look forward to updates, and like many others I've never heard of the rear mounted turbo concept.
I'm glad you kept the super brakes, as my zed is now gone... so it would have been a shame to fit them!

Excellent Matt - wish I had half your fabrication skills
When we spoke about it at Shepshed, you seemed determined to go down this route and I'm glad you've decided to follow your star and go for it...

Well done Matt, I now know your the mad professor mate. You spoke about it and I thought nah, the new baby monkey will put a stop to that sort of thing, but no, you have persevered and well done to you.
I think we will need to set up a fund for rear tyres, what sort of power are you expecting ??

I agree and if you have an idea a pot of cash and a desiger to do why not have a go.
Its a good job i had them as i think i may be needing them too. They work great by the way. Just a shame it was not so easy to get them to actualy fit.

Just before you start work out how much you think it will cost. Then double that total and you will probably be close!!! Unless you go for an off the shelf kit it can get very pricy.... I think I am at about £1700 ish and that’s just parts if i added labour in. Well i wouldn’t like to think about that!!!

As you know i don’t mind lighting the rears up and making a bit of smoke. It might happen now without even trying!!
