Just fit a gti6 engine, a far better starting block. I'm sure with your immense driving skill the extra 20kg that it weighs won't make any difference anyway...

There hardly any better....remember the Mi-16 was used in 306 maxi's etc...
And i dont need anymore weight over the front end to impair handling...and comments like that are stupid.

The Mi-16 engine will do just fine..We've spoke to enough people who are actually in the know who race them..

We are trying to get a baffle in there by then otherwise none...
Mark has friends who have been tracking Mi's for years had around 10 of them and as they say a really good rebuilt Mi with clean oil ways etc is unlikely to surge.
You have to remember these engines do 1000's of miles in a 405 or BX without a problem and brean stages has no real long fast corners so should be ok.
