Really getting in the Evo scene at the moment. My IX is just so complete, easy to drive, fast (not a patch on the MR2)! Has the doors and a big boot, to boot :shock: :mrgreen:

Probably enter the Evo sprint season next year, if i can get a cheap 5 RS!

Yes i remember the Viper induction kit - bloody hell, that was years ago!

£4k on headwork is insane, at £100/hr thats a whole week, no way if they know what their doing. Obviously did something right though.

Someone asked how much for 400bhp I think. If you can use spanners £8k will do it.

ECU £1k, internals £1k, IC £1k, Turbo £1k, Fuelling £1k, Other bits £1k, Build cost £1k, Mapping £500, zorst £500. But thats taking the engine out and putting it back yourself, doing plumbing and wiring yourself, etc. But, few niggles along the way...........double it!

Thats why big spec builds with all the shiney bits cost big bucks. Start using a few braided hoses etc it all mounts up quickly.

Well, at least it's a step up from saying he'll send his Bradistani goons round to kick yer head in (allegedly of course).

What goes around comes around though. He screwed over the wrong person a few yrs ago and the guy and his mates went and paid him a visit at his home. :lol:

Re this car on ebay
1 the car looks cack with all those weird decals or whatever possibly sprayed on.
2 I like the arcehes.

3. looks like its had a load of money chucked at it and some nice parts.

4. it has a rolling road print out

but
how can you prove its for this car.

If I was shelling out for a tricked out mr2 I would definitely want to take it to a rolling road of my choice to see the results before parting with my hard earned.

Oh dear! poor car, I felt sorry for it before but even more so after seeing what it used to look like.

those seats he fitted are a big improvement on the originals as well as the boot spoiler. NOT.

Some people should not be allowed to go near cars, guy is obviously a boy racer with bad taste and too much money.

Wouldn't surprise me if he came from a particular section of the community
