Looks like the front wheels do, or very nearly come of the ground there.

yes it is a wheelie, not from a nova tho!

its a starlet with a pinto engine, 2.2 i think - not absolutly sure but i think around 200bhp, squirms all over the place off the line.

its usually up at santa pod, where it looks like the vids from, at run wot ya brungs. awesome car. awesome noise, pulls those times all day long.

I saw it at usc, very quick little car. I hate it when people look at a car an laugh because it looks shit and just because its not a skyline. Shuts them up though but it happens everytime i go to santa pod.

my dad used to have a Lancia delta HF twin turbo (was pretty heavily tuned up, imported from Austria never usually ran 2nd turbo) it was dark green and totally standard and pretty crappy looking, still had about 450bhp, used to love pissing on people in that...

was about 6 tho :-) i'l hunt out some pics of it, you'd probably laugh

saw the focus at Max shitter...

it's a 2.0 turbo i think, had some wierd managment system that you plug a handset into a port under the steering column, and you can add maps e.t.c and optimize the performance at that second in time.. i.e to specify air temperatures, fuel octane e.t.c.. forgotten what it's called now.

it's approaching 400bhp i think, i'l try hunt out the company and the website. !

twin turbo???? was that custom? how did they not run the second turbo? was there some sort of system to stop the airflow from/to one of the turbos???

Never seen or heard of a twin turbo Lancia Delta. get the pics up!
