Thinking of all those horses, can you still get rubber doughnuts?

and another cheeky question... What are your plans for the radiator?
Can you squeeze something in the rear or are you mounting it up front?

there is only one place a rad should be on a imp and that is up front
will stick up some more pics soon , i would like to change the crown wheel and pinon to give me a beter finile drive .and that would make every gear longer , going to run this imp with a ecu ,injectors ,ect so it will
be a efi imp , and if i want more power i may turbo it , i all ready have a turbo and intercooler and pipes sitting and could be looking at 200hp
with 720kg about 300hp per ton its would fly with that |

Yup! Having had experience of two overheating Imps and a Ginetta G15 (with front rad.) that was over cooled that makes total sense. Sounds an interesting project.
