WIN!
I like how the body fits round the spaceframe, also looks great, especially from the rear quarter view.
I'd like to have a go in it ;D

Right then Mr Maggot. For a post like that you need to tell us how you're going to get 170bhp from an A series turbo (if that's what you mean). I demand a thread!!! |

Engineering, WIN, rwd conversion, WIN, colours, WIN... bodykit-styling.... fail I'm afraid.
BUT... its definitely a substance over style car. Overall = WIN

Nice!!! I do like the idea of building a space framed front, if i ever get round to finishing the Ax GTi Turbo then the next Ax is going to be a spaceframe fronted 1.8T tarmac muncher, similar to that Swift except fwd lol

I don't understand the bodykit styling thing? The only thing that has changed body wise is the rear arches being made a little wider. Here is my girlfriends stocker for comparison -   Stock bumpers, stock side skirts, pretty much stock! Now I will say it is incredibly 1980's but that is not barry or chav bodykit, it is the car equivalent of shoulder pads, massive phones and miami vice  |

LOVE IT! I think the rear arches look great - sympathetic to the 80's Japanese hot hatch looks. Spot on.
I like the (quite random!) colour / livery choice too! Was there any particular reason behind choosing that or was it just purely because it looks good, I wonder?

Love it, so subtly converted to RWD (other than the wheels)! It reminds me of the little hatch you used to race in the Live For Speed demo... but obviously RWD.

That is just fantastic!
They were great in standard form, must be mental with that much poke!

Great build. And, Blownie, I like 'Chelle's rear arches better than the other car's in your comparo pic. Though I didn't need to see the other car to make such a judgment. ;D

What an awesome piece of kit. I must say that as I looked through the build pics I was hoping to see it finished in that burgundy shade and running just the arches and no kit. I reckon us RRers are in the minority there taste-wise though.
