Stoke-on-Trent. Duck.

Evenin',

Just had a mate send me a link to this. Can't find any other info other than a few flickr pics but looks like a very interesting project!

Best I can establish is that it's referred to as the Tachyon Mini? I don't know anything about Porsche engines either, so a pretty hopeless topic I've started! Here, have a pic of it...

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Actually it's not a bad choice for a RWD front engine conversion as the gearbox is a transaxle at the rear.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

can't help thinking there must be something a bit more current to use for the conversion although I note Wil's comments on the transaxle
