I'll have to go digging on this when not in the office - and shameless self promotion - just got it into the garage and started the stripdown ;D  |

Weren't the imps etc.... 'Silhouette' or something class? I know there was a silhouette IMP featured in PPC a while back - what a monster. Must go digging (STOP DISTRACTING ME!!!  ) |

Imp engine, imp gearbox, imp suspension all tied to a spaceframe chassis. Now I looked at the DVLA website and the points scheme, all of the above adds up to 9 points, so one could possibly run on the uk roads on a normal imp number plate! Dangerous thoughts! |

Now I looked at the DVLA website and the points scheme Thats what I previously thought, Unfortunately not - 5 points from body is mandatory on monocoque vehicles - check out the details on the latest ACE Advice thread - clearing up a lot of misundersandings |

thanks for the pic, i did a research a while ago and found out, that the chassis still exists; it is now a LeMans racer again with a DFV engine... maybe that paint scheme could be something for my Type 3....  |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

It's all good, awaiting some upgrades to suspension and the intake system, all underway!
Took me ages to find a suitable replacement alternator after all the electricity leaked out on the way to RRG09! That is now sorted and in the post.
I need to -
Implement the final fix on the plenum
change my blower ratio
fit a wastegate (yes really a wastegate, it already has a bypass valve, I have a cunning plan!)
change the wideband sensor
do some proper mapping
enjoy it over the summer
gut it and build a spaceframe!
hehe

Nice thread! Never heard of Modsports before, but I love Super Saloons! Glad to hear the Imp is still evolving, I do like that car.  |

Oh my what a rumbunctious picture! That must have been a brilliant series to go an watch.
As far as I know that blue corvair on the RHS was based on a McLaren Canam car and engine!!!!
