Welcome back, is it still road legal? :)

Unfortunately not and thank you for the welcome it's about 2 foot shorter now so would need too much work to get it road legal it's just for drag racing now

Should be a laugh, what's the weight and how is it modified?

Bit of strengthening on the rear bed to make it tight fuel tank replaced with a fuel cell weight wise I'd say about a ton it ran a 12 or 13 second quarter mile a Shakespeare county at 111 mph about 8 years ago I'm just recommisioning for the 2020 rwyb season at santa pod

Certainly not shy, is it just weight saving or the engine is also modded a bit?

I think before I bought it in 2009 it had a remap its nos got dump valve turbo tap and just shed weight I'd love to get it on a dyno at some point though
