Holy sh*t balls this thing would move

Recommended Posts

that. would be a serious handful

i honestly don't understand this emphasis on massive power figures. It's mostly unusable.

I had a 650hp GTR. That was 4wd and running 265 series semi slick tyres. Even on medium boost (480 odd hp) I would struggle for traction in anything less than 4th gear.

Most of the time I could only use a very little % of throttle to keep the car moving forward.

This thing would be so much worse.

You would struggle to get traction in this only anything less than a prepped drag strip.

Add in no cage and it would be a very scary preposition. Probably why he's selling.

Still rather the M30 Turbo version for sale on TM. Much nicer car. All BMW too.

I know the dude who built this. There is a genuine reason for sale. A lot of hard work has gone in to the build and if it's anything like the mk2 Cortina with a 450hp vr4 engine that he built, the attention to detail is second to none.

But it'll be so much fun trying to find traction!

It gets boring.

Is this the same car that sported a air shifter with buttons on the steering wheel? If so its evolved well over time.

Thats awful. Why would anyone ruin a German car with a crap Japanese engine.

Joke. 10/10 for this.

^ LOL

Interested to see that wastegate. I have one of them in the cupboard with a spare Holset waiting for me to go all Swedish on an M10. I wondered if it would be able to keep boost down on a big turbo (its an Audi wastegate and has a pretty small valve).
