This ‘borg originally had a 4G61T, however the 2 litre conversions are trivial. Voila, an instant 200ps in a sub-1000kg car!

I look forward to seeing what the RR guys decide to do next, the rear end needs a bit of development to smooth out the twitchiness especially on weight shift (it runs a rather dated solid rear axle, however a Watts link will go a long way towards improving that)

I have fond memories of the Mirage/Colt: it was my first car.
Of course it did not feature a 4G63, nor 4WD… All it had was a FWD 4G13 econobox. ;)
