Building a Vortex
I am considering buying a Vortex and would appreciate some advice.
I am looking to build a car that will be in daily use and needs to be reliable. It also needs to be properly weather proof with normal luxuries like comfy seats, power steering and maybe an auto box (if the engine suits an auto).
I don't need shattering performance but it has to be able to see off anything with a GTI badge.
The choice of engines for these cars seems a little restrictive as I don't want the complexity of a turbo and the Rover 2.7 doesn't seem like much of a powerhouse.
How fast is a Vortex with a 2.7? Does anyone know how much an auto would hamper performance?
Does anyone use their car very regularly and how does it fare? Does it leak? Does it run reliably? I will be building this with mostly new parts so dont expect major mechanical problems but how about the twiddly bits?
Any help appreciated.
