Finished pictures at the end of the thread
The project centred around the humble Proton Coupe
Bought for very little..
A little research later and we find that it has
The same floorpan as an EVO The early 1.8 GSR engine in NA form
Handling that will match an MX5 with ease.
So
Work begins
evo interior - straight swap
Turbo etc
Then, some paint, wheels, front end modified, unichip ecu, interior upgrade, paint, shortshifter, boostcontroller...and lots more
We have
Nice interior
Tidy engine bay
Tidy car
Power is 211bhp without the nos. Boost starts at 1800rpm
Torque at 200. Weight? About the same as a Punto GT
Oh yeah
