Glanza_Mike Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Wow, that's 'only' £21k pretty cheap i reckon, whack a couple turbos on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 That's really nice. A lot less than I was expecting as well. Proper. 130,000 Euros as a roller. The engines are usually leased from Judd. But they'd flog you an older one, maybe £75K with loom and management. Starts to get expensive for a pretty unknown make. Engine rebuilds are about 35 to 40K if you haven't done anything nasty to it, or it's plain worn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What engine options do you have, could you shoe horn something else in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 What engine options do you have, could you shoe horn something else in there? Not really, the engines are tiny for their capacity, ultra light and the main issue is the have a very low crankshaft centreline, so only a true race engine designed to mate to that type of transaxle will fit. If you want to go fast (very fast, much faster than that car) buy my Lola I want to buy this: http://www.240grupp-a.se/English/bilder-filer/kolla_bilar-filer/racing-filer/1984-filer/gtm-1984-filer/gtm84.htm The rebuild is stunning, and the car has great history and can only go up in value.

Chris Wilson Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Oops, I misread the ad, it's an LMP2 car, not an LMP1, so would probably have run a Mazda turbo engine or the V6 Honda. Not as expensive to buy or run as the big V10 Judds, but still a very costly bit of kit. You might cobble in a turbo Ford Duratec, which is basically what the 4 cylinder Mazda was, dry sumped. They would give enough grunt to still be interesting. I think the Honda is the engine of choice though. Possible lease only, way out of my budget https://hpd.honda.com/innovations/hr28tt-p2-engine/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
