Roshea14. Take it its yours mate. I saw this on ebay a while ago and thought it looked like it had the ability to be awesome. I must say it looks amazing. Is it being tracked or a show car? and its a massive feat of engineering tbh, are both engines running through the same gearbox or what? Looks awesome man congrats. Welcome to the site. Will defo keep my eye on this.

as in ...................:homme: how do you fit 306 running gear in a saxo?
Things need altering to get everything in.
Not my taste in some ways either but why undo some elses hard work?

About time an attempt was made to finish it. Ages ago since pug performance done all the work fitting both the engines.
That will be mighty tricky though trying to get the engines to run in sync.
Cant see it having very good balance, but will make a good straight line/show car.

I don't remember seeing it at FCS or trax this year or last - pretty sure I would have remembered it. Weird!

I didnt see it at FCS either tbh i do remember seeing a photo on here from not so long ago of it at a show possibly in the favourite photo thread iirc.
Edit: Yea its in the appreciation thread last page.

nice to see it working. Was a rather ambitious project. Should have been LHD for weight balance though!

please remember that it is not legal to use a car with twin engines on the public road ,so you would onlybe using it with front or rear engine working --sounds like it willbe slow as you are pulling alot of weight about for no gain . and synchronising them will be a bitch .
you can run two engines through ONE gearbox + dif ,but not seprate

There's a mini that's running two c20lets, used to be two c20xe on bodies with nitrous,
He has no problems with syncing them,
Though he did go for modified auto boxes,
Also was running more nitrous on the rear than the front no hassle there either.

Even then such significantly altered vehicle would have to pass a IVA test to become road legal.
