Yeah it's the KRB-Trading's 343 with +700hp Audi 5cyl. turbo. (Though the page says Volvo block so I don't know definite specs, but it's the engine they had on the req Urquattro before)

That S1 project is quite cool also. 8)

There is not much left of 340 in that car, just roof and not so much more, chassis is completely different.. Love watching the car on track goes fairly well :D

If the magazine is in front of you, you don't happen to have a scanner to the left of you do you ;)

@kaos, if you are wanting fibreglass bits n bobs, nev who occaisonally checks in here makes fibreglass bonnets for 300's though I'm not sure of cost. He also makes loads of other bits of suspension kit too. PM me if you ever want to get hold of him as I've got his number rattling around here somewhere
