    i heart classic lotus. The Europa was one of the most recognizable models made. Pity they never updated that model and chopped the height off the trunk area..

    Did you find an engine yet? You should look at a 1.8t (or V6) from a FWD Passat. Its longitudinal, cable shift, and powerful.

    Subie power?

    is that the car modernbeat was going to stick the ferrari V8 into? did he give up on that XP project?

    Yep. I was building a D-Prepared Miata, and when that was complete I was going to build the 2 liter V8 Europa for X-Prepared. Some things changed so I decided to build the Miata for XP and sold the Ferrari engine and gave Winston the Europa.

    Probably because they like you

    That's the funniest thing I've read all year.
