Well what? How long have you been working on it, 2-3 months? And you already got everything running? That's pretty fast if you ask me.

the 900 should be cake to making it fit compared to this beast

I already have it figured out to make it a simple bolt on for high hp and then one for a simple stock upgrade

First you need a 2.0L . That big ham won't work on the 1.6L. It will be a while before that ones available.

With slicks on the track this thing should be a monster. When driven on the street the hard part will be putting the power to the ground. It will be a tire melter.

Longboard
