Although I'm a V8 guy, I love this little matchbox car......lots of power and light enough to be sent thru the mail with 1st class postage!! Just awesome....I'm an old man and still would love to spin it a few times. "Did ya have fun drivin' it over here?" "Naw, hated it all the way." LOL You've got the most wicked chuckle, Shawn! Haha! 40+ years ago I owned a Cosworth Vega that I cammed, put 42 DCOE Webers on, a bunch more stuff....I used to love that 4-banger that would spin over 9 grand.....why in hell did I sell it....in short, I guess a car doesn't have to be a V8, huh?

Hi from the UK 😎 Awesome bit of kit that is.! My current e30 used to be a supercharged m52b28 (euro obv). It had dinan powwrdyne bd11a supercharger, smaller pulley at 8 psi and water meth. It made 300 on a base map on 95 octane fuel. I since ripped it put to do a v8 swap. Not far off getting her back out now. Maybe supercharge that one day 🙈 Enjoyed the video 😎

That kid did amazing job with that car. Many people doing incredibly stupid things, such as completely removing carpets, door panels etc. interior parts. Completely ruins the great retro cars. For what! Are you gonna race in 24 Hour Lemans, so you need to shave 1 millisecond out of your total time, because of that 1000 Gram weight lose! Some keeps it completely stock and restore it and performance becomes boring. Some dumps V8 LS motor into a goddamn retro German car, which also do not make any sense. However, this specific car has great balance about everything from look to performance. Only thing I would change in that car would be exterior color and some leather or carpet to cover that rear seat area. 10 Thousand USD (If you build it by yourself as he says) spent on that car is nothing compare to what you get in return. $5 Thousand to buy the car, $20 Thousand for tuning, mods, labour etc. $25 K in total. Great deal for what you get.

Dude first off I'm guessing you don't know much but the s52 (swapped into this car) came stock with 240 crank hp, with the average 15% drive train loss it would be at 204whp, so with a supercharger there is a good chance it's at 400hp just maybe not 400whp. Now before you go around bashing cars saying they aren't even getting 200whp out of a stock engine because you civic makes 90 crank, I'd sit down and do research, thanks and bye.
