A friend and I, after a visit to Santa Pod the other week, have come up with a hare-brained scheme to build a small hatchback to run within an inch of its life (and beyond) on a RWYB.
We think a K10 Micra or Citroen AX GT would be a good base. We want to pile in loads of Nitrous, basically enough to make it really shift for a couple of practice runs and then loads for the final run in which the engine may explode if it wants.
I like the idea of the AX GT with its bigger carbs. Although we could fit big carbs to a Micra and run it rich with loads of Nitrous.
Any suggestions or guidance? Perhaps we'd be better off with a bigger RWD car like a Sierra that has more power to start with and could take more Nitrous before it blows up. We'd really rather take a small hatch though.
