Hybrid MK1 handling
So far I heard of the Mk1.5 and I seen online a man who stuffed a Northstar V8 into an MK1 and I know their are a couple of more swaps I missed for this car. I see the amount of horsepower that these machines are putting out but how good is the handling after the swap was made? For anyone who has a hybrid MK1 I give yall props, I started my project and hope to one day own a good auto-X hybrid

Re: Hybrid MK1 handling
I had the opportunity to passenger around the Fabi Circuit @ Shannonville Raceway (Canada) in Deno Plumley's MK1.5:
http://www.mk1point5.com/ There is no complaints in handling. That car is a beautiful monster. It's the best MK1.5 I have ever seen. At the Canada meet, there was also a MK1 with the turbo AWD Talon motor stuffed into it. The V8 MK1 is being built by Bill Strong, the owner of mr2oc.com.

1.5's handle amazingly
 And I agree with Jeff, Deno's 1.5 looks amazing (but just wait till the end of this summer  )
