where did you get that from? will you sell it?
Think you'd have to find Mr. Ari Tamminen and ask him...
wooo front mounted alternator mod!
thta is awesome i want one for my desk!
surely if you go to the effort of front mounting the alternator and dry sumping you would run a coil pack so you could map the ignition and make the most of the engine

Its not mine, I found it on some model making forum I came across whilst looking for pic of Xe's...
Didn't take note of the site link sorry! :roll: :( But there wasn't really any other pics other than what I've posted, and the site wasn't even in English so had no idea what anything said! lol
done some research and think there fin's, or at very least Nordic region.

On another note, imagine how small the fuel pump would be for it lol lol try wiring that up lol

lol I was just wondering, I had seen model-size working V8 engines...
I have got a 1/18 scale Vauxhall XE out of a model Caterham kicking about my room somewhere
Not as highly detailed as those ones but its the old 'Redtop' none the less :)
360 dollars whats that about 170 quid, yeh thats a bit pricey. lets start a fund for ade to buy it and make it lol.
and bring it to club shows lol.
edit, ade befor you say im a model maker as well. you would do it better, i wouldnt want that weight on my shoulders lol
