Nice find Evan. Just what an X-1/9 needs...a real engine. Always felt they were under-powered. Bloody good job, I actually thought the front headlights were real until I red they are fricken coffee cans with stickers. lol

I suddenly have the urge to buy some spray cans, race tape and plywood. I feel a 'Launcha Sprintos' coming on.
