That must be an animal.
 

Looks like a fucking nail to me.

twin vts engined saxo in the world it's basically a 3.2 litre 32valve straight 8

When you describe the car that you have for sale as "the only one in world" you instantly qualify for the worlds biggest tosser award.

I'm amazed that someone could build such a thing and have such a poor grasp of the language that they speak... I know which is more difficult.

He's obviously a car infusiast!

good enough for someone to bid £3k on it

Except it isn't, it's a saxo VTS 1.6 16v that somebody has bodged another Saxo VTS 16v into the back of.

Stereotypically or not, the ad sets alarm bells ringing, if someone works full time building racing cars yet describes people as "car infusiasts" and "big boys" I really doubt they're the type of people I want building something like this.

283mm rear brakes is going to be nothing short of lethal, yes it will have more weight in the back, but really? No mention of bias control, and the cooling appears to be "cut a hole in the rear wing" and "reverse bodge the rear window" open, so that should create a nice bit of drag on one side of the car.

The gears are described as "a bit tricky" and he recommends "trailering it away until you get used to it". There's also no way in hell it's road legal unless you have a particularly friendly MOT tester who's not too bothered about his testers certificate.

If it looks like a nail, and it sounds like a nail...

Rear wheel in the 3rd picture looks properly wonky but I'm not sure if it actually is or not...

Also, why wouldn't he put it in the 'cars' catagory? Dumb ass...

I lolled.

You have used eBay before? ;)

I never get why people go down the twin engine route. I bet it drives and handles like a piece of shit. For what that cost him, he could have built a turbo vts engine and had some real fun.

i dont get it? :s and of course i have! :P

i also love his spelling - 'Car infusiast'

It's probably not a genuine bid.

Look up shill bidding ;)

ah... well the guy bidding does have a feedback of 3

without looking it up first, is shill bidding where ebayers get their friends to bid up an item for them?

Yes...

yup. You'd have to be mentally impaired, or on ket to pay £3k for that.

£3k in the 106 / saxo world would get you a seriously sorted 16v affair with decent suspension, brakes, probably caged, and with the added bonus of no large lump of iron cable tied into the boot ready to exit through your face in the event of a crash.

woohoo! i know something :drink:

Looks nicely done.

I would imagine it handles like some pikey car infusiast has cable tied another saxo engine and gearbox into the boot aswell.

Built by someone that knows what theyre doing, advertised by his pikey cockend of a mate.

No test drives always gets the alarm bells ringing...

he wants 5k for it.. its caused a few arguements on ukfo

main one being.,. 280.. 140bhp +140bhp being 280bhp

both engines have a manifold and filter lol

Bit harsh, I knew a guy who could barely spell "petrol" yet was one of the most insanely talented fabricators and machinists ive ever seen.

But I know what you mean.

I wonder what the legality of a twin engine car is??
Probably it should have had a SVA test??!

not legal to run both engines on the road at once

and yeah, its should legally have been tested

Silly as a daily, sillier as a track car. Next please.

The thing is your mate who had a passion and was insanely talented probably would have written an ad explaining how well it was put together, not that it was puar rapid and showed the big boys what was what lol.

A mid (and front) engined Saxo! Imagine the potential destruction to the driver and passenger if this car was to be rear ended by a 4wd or lorry on a motorway, even worse would be a fog related pile up. Getting rear ended in this could result in piles of cars.

I just assume that someone with the ability to do such a thing would also be able to spell, I mean why not? They're clearly intelligent and if they're capable of learning to do that, then surely capable of learning basic English? Baffles me.

EDIT: Not really a criticism as such, it baffles me in the same way Matt can make amazing burgers yet can't fry an egg.

Getting rear ended in any car will result in a pile of 2 or more cars :homme:

*they're

*They'ureye

Yes, thank you bender. It was a typo due to early and phone, nothing more.

Rear wheels are only just sat inside the arch,& for someone who build race cars for a living i'd expect them to be better educated.:drink:

Looks like they're poking out a bit!

Just looks like it's on some wonky camber, for that one wheel only.

what a sorry looking piece of shit, and good luck finding alternate roads every time you come across a speed bump. Less than factory pace if running on one engine and nightmare mpg on 2.

Maybe it would be good for the strip?

Pile of shit though.
