Due to the way the 5 cylinder is squeezed under the bonnet, it considerably sticks out over the front wheels. It is a real shame there is no way to move the engine backwards to match it up to the gearbox instead of using the prop extension piece of the Patrick Carlier kit. Just a few mm could make such a diffence to the handling, particularly addressing understeer issues which in turn would make the car that much more balanced.
Cheers

i didnt use the prop spacer...i moved the engine back...to be honest i didnt even know there was a spacer available..
The spacer is part of Patricks kit of parts. It is 15mm thick and a perfect fit using factory cork gaskets. Not had a problem with mine since fitting. 3B flywheel and clutch recommended as otherwise you'll need the spacer between engine and block and there is precious little room as it is...
