New Fensport car
Discussion
its a bit like this one:

except this one was made as a concept in 2000 and is 'only' 500bhp rather than 650. still has a derivative of the GT4 drivetrain in it though.

So its a Gt4 in a 7th gen body.
The point is?.......
Its not like this is really anything "new" its the gt4 running gear strapped onto a different bodyshell with a highly tuned 3sgte.
And you wondered why they charge so much for their parts........look no further.
I was just about to post the same thing - it's just the same kit as their previous work but wearing a new hat.
The corolla was damn impressive having seen it at Rotorstock last year but come on Fensport, how about doing something new!!

With respect, they're a tuner, not a custom specialist. This is a "look what we can do with the engine", but slotted into a different car.
Basically, a ST205 engine in the same state of high tune they normally do on show cars, ST205 gearbox and diffs. One suspects custom driveshafts shoved into a 7th generation shell.
I've not seen any technical specs yet, but I'd like to know what she weighs.

True, not 'groundbreaking' but no doubt well engineered going by their previous cars.
Now a 4wd MR2 (with engine in the rear of course) would be seriously impressive..........

Not knocking the engineering at all, its very well done, cut me in half itd probably say "toyota" like a stick of rock, but its just not "original" anymore with them. ssdd.

Delta,
Are you also on Twobrutal.co.uk ? There are a few machinations on there about 4wd MR2.....basically very difficult, with problems like finding a suitable g/box and front axle, steering, mounting etc... you not prepared to spill the beans eh?
Not "on" it gofasterosssco, have visited it lots though as its a good resource for info. Oh

It is slighlty different from their last project, in that the Corolla was 4WD to begin with, whereas this wasn't
Was it? I'm sure I remember reading that they basically replaced the whole floorpan to get the 4x4 running gear in. i thought it was some random jap oil burner model or something?
Edit: I'm talking total shite - it was infact a 4wd model as you say: www.fensport.co.uk/fensportcars.htm
