As Patrick rightly points out, high power to weight ratio. Over here it's not uncommon to have engine swaps and tweeks delivering well over 230bhp in something weighing little more than a Harley and sidecar.  Just for fun, how it scales up against a 1/24 build.  |

Nice comparison shot. Hot rodders on this side the pond cram big engines in light cars, too. Creates a lot of excitement!

If I can, I will replace some of the kit supplied screws with hex bolts but only if it looks 'right'. A little more wiring may be in order but I will keep it minimal, don't want it looking like a birds nest.  |
