On a down side, I can't find anyone to make me a side exit exhaust because its illegal to have it coming out of the passenger side and the fuel tank is in the way on the other side. Looks like it will now have a ktec stealth instead to keep the sleeper look.

Can't be illegal as the Mclaren SLR has them?!
Yes but it is approved (typed) with that solution.
Think norms clio tt had a side exit. Must have passed mot.

Stunning build thread this, very nice.
Any ideas what sort of power/torque turbo'd 172 engines put out?
(i registered just to reply to this thread,lol)
Atleast someone is taking there time to complete something right
are you sure about that, theres plenty of people who have side exits on clio16valver and i have never had any problem with mine. Plllenty of vans have side exits on the passenger side.
