The passenger seat must also stay under 2F regs. Also, it was always to remain road registered. Below is a complete list of what went into the car in the order it happened.

Hey just noticed that your blue car has a built engine outputting 205 hp at the flywheel (175-180whp?) not bad for a bp, mind spelling out a bit of what went into getting that extra 70-80hp? I guess higher lift/duration cams, bored and stroked to 2.0, and spinning to 9k along with some port work and higher compression?
