Hehe, I saw a modded one once, had what looked like mini cooper alloys, a half roll cage, and steel skid plates on the front corners!

chevy V8 in the boot wheelie bars MASSIVE DRAG tyres and a bog to sit on cos you would fill it with all that power and no weight raftl

As daft as it sounds it would be such a laugh to mod one.

You will need a fibre glass company if you want a kit making.

I had a Robin Reliant and loved it! Mine was pink smile I'd gladly have one again and mod it to within an inch of its life - but not to the point of Barrying raftl

I had a Reliant Rialto once, like a Robin but the estate version. By just rebuilding the engine you will get more horsepower, mine was good for 110+ and because they are light they are quite quick off the mark. I was considering rallying one but I never got round to it. They are really fun cars especially when driven quick. It's a challenge to keep all 3 wheels on the ground when cornering!


See you in cyberspace!
