- This is the second in the series of the “Kat Meets” videos, and one I’ve been trying to get around to for some time. It turned out perfectly that I ended up making Natalie (my old Capri shell) the first episode but this is far more in tune with my normal format and way of doing them.
So this is Kat meets the Beast, a Reliant Scimitar with a Vauxhall Omega MV6 engine in, with a few minor tweaks this thing is now pushing over 260hp! It really I a beast! So I made my way to Bristol to meet Laurence and his awesome creation!
In this video we talk all things “The Beast”, what Laurence started with and how he has ended up with what can only be described as the perfect balance of classic car track car, fun and reliability!
Please go check out my other video linked at the end, where I meet Pete and his Essex V6, race prepped Ford Capri, and make sure to hit that subscribe button so you don’t mis out on the future episodes of “Kat Meets”

Another great video, always liked the scimitars and this one is pretty awesome.
Thanks again buddy! Never fail to leave me a comment! Really is appreciated!
It’s a cool looking car for sure and Loz has done such a great job over the years sorting this one out!
Looking forward to meeting more classic folks out there to film more!
Fantastic ive got a 1974 im putting 7.5 litre Big Block Chevy engine to drag Race 🏁 👍. Good luck to all your fellow Scimitar owner's 👍
Arr nice; that will be an ace project! They are such awesome looking cars! Big fan!
Laurence is a very clever lad! Nice work!
He really is! 😎 he’s done so much cool stuff and most of not all has been through his own knowledge, and ability! Very impressive!
There will be an updated video coming to my channel soon! Not happy with this video, audio was terrible! 😂
Also got an episode on his landrover coming soon! 😎👍
Very interesting watch. I happen to be the current owner of the first known Omega GM V6 converted Scimitar built back in 2009 for the PPC magazines £999 challenge (not by me). It is in a bit of a sorry state but this has spurred me in to bring it back to life.
Wow! That’s awesome! I’d love to see that one up and running, keep us posted!
Thanks, it was one of my first Kat Meets so a few “technical issues” (me not thinking about the wind) was very frustrating😂 but loz is my brother, so I am thinking of revisiting this one! 😂👍
I did the 08 and 09 PPC challenge don't remember a GTE though at 08 there was an SS1.....maybe it was the rerun of the 09 one, didn't attend.
Miss PPC 😮💨
@@Yorkyscott have you seen there Facebook page?
Did you make the wheel adapters or ebay iv got some lotus elise wheels im tempted to fit cheers
Hi its the cars owner here. I actually got the hubs re drilled to accept a ford 108mm PCD, this gave me a huge choice of wheels. I do have spacers on the front but they're just simple flat spacers and I fitted longer wheel studs.
Great work & video, I like the rear lights and how the bumper has been reduced and smoothed. Where can I buy lights like that?
Fantastic job on a great car! Brilliant home engineering!
I really like the alternative front and rear bumpers, styling wise. Subtle mods but look very nice.
What was done with the rear bumper? Was it a homemade fibreglass job or a drastic cut down of the original?
Nice one bud! Thanks! It’s a hell of a machine! The rear bumper was a fibreglass homemade job! Think he used the top mounts of the original and just made up the fibreglass shape from there!
A very cool and impressive car for sure! Was hoping to have him on the channel more by now, but hopefully soon! 😎👍
Is that the same engine as the Holden V6 which was fitted in the Australian Holden Commodores? These were based on the American Buick V6, I believe. Cheap as chips down under. They use them in Sport Sedans as well. Precursor to the LS V8 motor. Interesting combo.
Hi, I'm the cars owner. I've had a quick google and I don't recognise the holden V6 engine, I think it might be a different motor you're talking about. This is a bit strange cos they like to save money and use the same engine where possible. It looks liekthe commodore V6 is larger at 3.6L mine only a 3L and it has a timing chain where mine has a belt.
@@lozl Hi, yes I’m not much of an expert in Holdens as I’ve always been into Fords (particularly Capris) but most of my mates back in Australia had Commodores and swore by the Holden V6 which was definitely in the 3.8 version in Australia. GM was as bad as Ford for recycling engines into anything that would take them. There were Chev engines in Holden Commodores shipped to the UK in the mid 2000s onwards now worth a fortune back in Oz but no doubt have ended up as scrap here due to MOT failures. They were thirsty from memory and weren’t that clean burners, but kept going even with the rubbish fuel in certain parts of Australia.
Link is a prime example of what Aussies get upto with these engines.

@@pintopunteruksmallford1035 fantastic! Yeah you always got bigger engines than us in Europe. Very annoying.
That video is crazy! Completely pointless but actually really interesting to watch and I would quite like to have a go myself hahahaha
Awesome video! Great to see this car in detail!
Nice one mate: thanks so much for checking out the video!
Loz has done so much to this car he’s made a proper weapon of a machine!
Will hopefully do an updated video next spring as I was not happy with the audio on this one at all! 😂
It was a bit windy!
Your Capri looks awesome too, have subscribed so I can power through some of your videos!
Happy motoring! 😁
@@Tyresome 😂 bit windy is an understatement; but we also picked a high flat area, and didn’t appreciate the need for the “mitt” on the end of the mic! 🤦♂️
Cheers dude, it’s a labour of love: loads more to do yet: and the best is yet to come for the Capri I think!
Thanks so much! Let me know what you think, and please feel free to chuck me some constructive criticism, I am always working on making my videos better! 👍
There's alot to be said for a 'dead cat' on the end of the mic!
Of course! Likewise if you happen across any of my content.
It was really informative and we'll constructed, nothing wrong with direction at all!
@@Tyresome nice one cheers dude! I have subscribed but in an early shift so spend some time having a look over to tomorrow mate! I do love a scimitar so looking forward to seeing what you got there man! 😎👍
