Not really true I think he did run out of money a bit in terms of budget for the project but he runs a big pharmaceutical company so long term money is probably not too tight. He's still in the industry, the new AF10 (Aarash Cars) is in Evo this month.
27k was the road car price. Its only...
^^ Honda engined too. Geared for 170 MPH!!! Saw it at Bruntingthorpe the other weekend and thought it was rapid.
The G40 road car they are aiming for a 27k base price.
Went up last night to do a report for lovepetrol.com with the chaps from supercardriver.com
Really enjoyable evening. The F400 I cannot describe how beautiful this car is. 95k seems like a steal to me if your looking at R8's and Astons for similar money this has ten time more presence...
I tend to agree to an extent. NA tuning is a bit of a waste of time generally but this conversion ticks the boxes for me. Its essentially just a GM M62 charger with a plate fitted to it. Swap your alternator for a smaller one so it all fits in and hey presto 100 BHP for 3k. Trouble with the VX...
No daughter of mine would suggest such a thing! I think she was mesmarised by the yellow costco microfibre rather than interested in the car lol
Englebert, it was 3k fitted the conversion. Easy enough for me to justify hehe. Courtnays charge 5.5k to be fair but some of the lads on the forum do...
Pretty much a bolt on conversion to the existing engine m8. Someone figured out that the OEM charger from a Chevy Cobolt and GM Saturn in the US would fit the 2.2 ecotec we have in the VX. Divert the alternator belt and stick the charger on the inlet and bobs your uncle!
Andy - get it done m8...
Hi Justin
Yeah the Z4M went when we found out the baby was on the way. Had to get something to fill the gap :D
Loving the Evora by the way I have a serious soft spot for them!
Standard car does have 100 BHP less. The turbo version looks reasonably different having the big ears and spoiler/different wheels. Even then the tubby only has 200 BHP and weighs more ;)
First proper going over its had since we had a baby 5 1/2 months ago. She actually sat and watched me do the last hour :D
Bit of fun in the engine bay ;)
Where the magic happens
Yeah it was roped off with the ropes really close to the car which was a bit odd so you couldn't really get a good pic. I literally say and just stared at it for 10 minutes. Totally in love with it.
Popped along to this yeasterday. Its a young event only in it's third year but well worth a look. Its like a mini version of Goodwood.
I cant tell you how totally gorgeous the Ferrari 458 is. The pics I've seen of it just really don't capture it properly. You...
