Starting out in life as the simple Umbra 1600, the T-Type had a modified 2.2 litre racing B6 jammed into the front, and featured a RWD drivetrain (though AWD was an option) and a 6 speed manual.
Due to the almost dead-on 50/50 weight balance the T-Type was very favourable for the track, and with some 200-odd BHP it wasn’t sluggish either. It was also definitely not a convertible. Definitely not.
221 horsepower, 2537 pounds, and $29,100. I tried to turbo it and ended up with a monster… but it actually negatively affected some important stats. So it’s just the GS version (not the GTS)… still really quick.
This is one of the most visually appealing builds based on any of the '83 Bean body sets (all of which resemble an NA MX-5) I’ve ever seen - yours looks like it’s built on the smallest version, with a ~2.3m wheelbase.
Then again, I’m not sure if there are any 3D interior fixtures right now that accurately represent a gated six-speed manual shifter, complete with a seventh gate for reverse.

The Yinzer MR-Squared. Like a pro football lineman, heavy, but surprisingly nimble. 450 HP 4 liter I4 turbo. 200MPH on the open road, with a sub 13 second quarter mile. Comes with a CD player.
I agree on Kalan’s entry but I don’t want to be rude. If we just judge objectively, yes it is not well done.
I have learned a lot in a short time, I will help if you want assistance. Language barrier be damned. There are gurus here that may also help, you can consider me a low ladder rung to climb over to get better.
