Did that guy ever say why the engine was at an angle to the front? It looks so odd, although I presume the wheels line up etc. |

He said something about because it was a round nose and had less room than a clubman he had to put the engine in on an angle, it wouldn't fit otherwise 
Sounds dodgy to me

Hey guys we did give him a bit of a pasting. And to be fair he is putting the Starlet engine in a roundnose. While it may not be the perfect effort and has some major issues to solve maybe we should give him a break purely for attempting it. My 2 cents Matt PS. I have been contacted by a guy through my website name Pierre in Sydney who is about to attempt the same thing in a roundnose.
