Looks like a nice bit of kit.... but with over 300bhp and only the standard 106 GTI brakes this is a bit concerning (266mm aren't they?)

[toseland]

they arent stopping much tho really, when you consider it.. its lost a lot fo weight from the rear "comfort mods" and carpets too..

[mackat]

Has the Honda prelude front brakes on the rear and the stock GTi fronts

Edit: Look to be 281.8mm on the rear.

You'd still think for safety and to match the rest of the car build they'd have something better fitted like the GTI6 283mm or the 406 Brembos, cant see it stopping on track very well at 120mph+ on stock 106 GTI brakes, especially if its reaching these speeds with ease.

I just don't understand why someone would spend £12k building something like that, do 6k miles and then sell it for half as much!? Do people just have more money than sense?

no different to you Tom buying a GTI6 for a Grand and not driving it 

[Toms306]

I've been there and met the team. We bought the antique fire fighting equipment from one of the episodes of the first season.

hmm want a bet on that

[Toms306]

Yep, cos I can break it for more than that lol.

[Dum-Dum]

There is no way on earth that has 300bhp!!!

The engine barely makes more power than a GTi6 lump and with those mods you wouldnt even see over 200bhp

Maybe Piggy gave them the power figure for it? He seems to be good at plucking figures out of thin air

[Piggy]

Yeah, ok, mr POINT 5 of a bhp.

[Paul_13]

Agreed no where near 300bhp

[Niall]

Yeah, ok, mr POINT 5 of a bhp.

Yep. At least my figures are accurate though and not plucked from thin air

Its not 300hp but i bet its still a right laugh! Although I'm really not a fan of the bodykit :/

[Dum-Dum]

Nah I don't reckon it is. Its gonna weigh a metric fucktonne more than a standard car and have that short wheel base mid engined scary handling that is the reason nobody drifts an MR2

its the fun of building it tom,

looks a good build! id have loved to seen the build thread on it from start to finish!

[Piggy]

Your figure is at the flywheel? What was the figure at the wheels though? And how did you calculate thus what it was at the fly???
-Maybe not as accurate as you think

[7057sam]

Look ok I guess but seriously doubt it's running anywhere near 300 bhp if it's a ha22a then the late models made 215 bhp

[toseland]

Nah I don't reckon it is. Its gonna weigh a metric fucktonne more than a standard car and have that short wheel base mid engined scary handling that is the reason nobody drifts an MR2

you realise they didnt leave hte original engine in the front do you?

[Dum-Dum]

Yes very much so hence refering to it as mid engined and comparing it to an MR2

It'll still be a fat lady garden though with a much bigger engine and all the metal work and welding and plumbing and then all that bodyfiller

[Eeyore]

Well it is....  It's 12 times as much and I wont sell for half what I paid...

ill offer you £501... more than half what you paid!

[306Dan]

Well it is....  It's 12 times as much and I wont sell for half what I paid...

ill offer you £501... more than half what you paid!

And here I thought Toms was the wrong colour for you

[toseland]

Well, the engine wont be that much heavier mate, 60kg or so., i would have suggested it would be around 130kg heavier in total, thats a passanger and a little bit of luggage..

[procta]

Well it is....  It's 12 times as much and I wont sell for half what I paid...

ill offer you £501... more than half what you paid!

Tom get his offer snapped up will you!

[procta]
