Correct, Carl Thompson and Mad Mike are well known down here in NZ as massive rotor nuts!! (although NZ is full of rotor nuts) Cant wait to see this thing literally SCREAMING round a track.

Did anyone notice the '89 Maserati 420 parked outside? lol

According to the Curren brothers (who built the engine) its already been to the track, and it was an absolute beast! its running on e85 and boosting 22lbs, not sure of power figures but have been told a bigger turbo is going to be put on running 30lbs with a shot of nos!

So yer its going to be used for drifting!!

wicked and unique conversion, but unlike most, i don't 'like' the sound of a 400whp weedwhacker.

Those built RX motors just sound broken to me lol
