The car will be finished in about a months time! We are taking it to a huge indoor show called ELMIA in Sweden! It will be showed there for the first time!
Today's update:
Realcar is delivering lots of cool stuff for the taxi. They have now delivered the wheels:
On the race track the taxi will have 20" rims by the name of Realcar Qualifier with the dimensions: 245/35-20.
For shows: 22" Realcar Qualifier with tyre dim. 295/25-22.
What do you think?

The choice of what engine to use is on hold at the moment since we cant decide!

This box will be under the drivers feet:
which goes further out to a 3" pipe:

Todays update is a short introduction of the taxi's drivers this year!
First out is Stian Hafsengen who is known to most "car people" in Norway. He used to own a WRC Escort and has won our "breisladd" competition twice! Few poeple drive like Stian, he definatley knows how to give people the ride of their lives!
Next is Anders Ringstad, also quite a mad man behind the wheel. Anders is the one responsible for most of the taxi build. He has a love for V8's and has years of experience from racing.
Both guys promise to drive so that the Sparco seats have to be dry cleaned MANY times! We cant wait!

After discussing the matter with Anders R., Leif has made a decision about which engine to use!
It is a 4 cylinder BMW engine from a E30 M3. The engine has 250 bhp and we are thinking about possibly adding a turbo.
Ehhh....Just kidding...
The choice is a brutal V8:
Info about bhp to come.....
