Has anyone seen this crazy Europa (plus links to build) thread?

Hi

Link below. This one is a bit mental, but with the right drivetrain grafted on it could actually be a very workable idea.

It's fast but definitely not the "Worlds fastest Europa". I run the same exact 2GR V6 but with a turbo and a manual gear box vs his auto and N/A. He might have 260whp with the auto. I have min. 400-450 whp and 50 lbs less weight. Like he said though, the extra rear weight makes it a hand full at the limit. Street is not a problem and all of the fun. He has a build thread on GRM too. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/the-grm-free-lotus-europa-2gr-v6-swap-2000-challenge-car/186375/page1/

He just recently sold it.

Hello

Thank you for the extra information. 400-450 whp and 50 lbs less weight must be hypersonic! I really just liked the idea of slotting in the divetrain as a module. Has got me thinking!

All the best

 Even with a cradle it's way too much work but if you have time and the itch. Fuel that won't slosh, wiring, DBW pedal, hydraulic clutch, brakes that won't kill you, cooling, everything else is the work. Turbo 4age or Duratec would be the easiest and 300 hp and a little less torque. No frame chopping, trans/axles.
