seems like a lot of money into this when a second hand evo would have been cheaper. thats just my view if the guy wabts to do this theb fair play but saving for 6 months to do this to a saxo seems odd

and saxp politics with 'thanks' is so playschool

And in the mean time turn it into a 'gayliner' that doesnt go round corners?

In my opinion its more than worth the money, otherwise I wouldnt have gone ahead with it in the first place. And when I say saving up I still managed to pull in a weeks skiing, week in Lanzarote and a long weekend in Barcelona within the last 6 months lol

wouldn't worry anything without b8s and a lower brace is just nothing to him tanned man

can't forget a uber diffuser

hard_corejoeboy · 23rd January 2012, 23:28

sax-p politics live on i see!

suppose pulling 1.6G round a corner is pretty pathetic

and there's no need to show off now is there?

awsom bit of info sandy,realy good progress Josh,will be amazing/interesting to see what its like once its done-ganna take some getting used to again=fun

Thats fair enough everyone has their own opinion im only saying it because i couldn't afford to do that and would look at spending the money elsewhere on say prof driving tuition.

He hasn't reached them limit on his engine when a heavier less powered twingo can still lap 15 seconds faster with less laps under his belt too

im not just talking about the nurburgring dude as if i had 500hp i would still only manage 10 min lol.That place is something elce,like josh said im sure he wouldent be doing it if it was not worth while.as he has had the car for a fair few years im sure he knows what he is doing............yes josh holidays hear and there stop showing off

LMFAO! ha ha

willsy · 24th January 2012, 10:45

No you had a stripped out 16v with a low end suspension setup and road tyres
could be built for sub 1k see alanapones thread for details

Joshs chassis is more than capable of more power and hes reached the limit of the 170hp he had its run circles around cars on several tracks

I admit im a.power crazed silly engine guy and i dont regret it for a second ive had tons.of fun with it

A v6 is a shitty engine to choose vtec in the back is probably a bit better and similar cash at the end of the day however people will do what they want with there money at the end of the day its joshs cash and his choice to spend it how he wants if you dont like how hes spending it then dont come and look

Much like yout comment about turbos are for people who cant drive in jungles thread in track prep you spout shit on every post you make

Berg · 24th January 2012, 15:51

Lol at some of the above comments, Jelousy springs to mind

If it was built, used once and then broken for parts like most other projects on the internet then i could understand the comments

The fact it actually gets used for what it was built for makes it well worth the money imo

Not on topic but plenty of those witb race experience agree with me just because i dont hqve the technical/mechanical lingo to back my shit up dont makw me wrong.

I just say why spend so much when someone lije sexy-gt with a lower spec will still piss all over you..
Hell my 'poverty spec' suspension was good enough to see off stock hatches with the holy grail setup so...is it worth it?
And the twingo was a 8:40btg on r888 and 139bhp

hard_corejoeboy · 26th January 2012, 07:32

But josh do as you please im not attacking just giving food for thought i know others here dont like it they would rather kiss each others asses than disagree about anthing. good luck will need to see vids when done

the thing you arent accounting for with the twingo is weight they weigh fuck all if its a mark 1

Sexy-gt has similar spec to josh and tbh it wouldnt be far off between them i bet
you seem convinced jsh cant drive cause hes been out the country a bit recently but far from that tbh

Andi forgot your senna reincarnated and can beat anthing anywere in any car
do everyone a favour and just keep you opinions yo yourself if youve not noticed its very rare people agree with you and normally if the masses disagree with you your wrong

Anyway no hard feelings
