f28 6 speed
all costing in ecess of £15,000 built and fitted by regal
X20LET?
Why has it got oil spray bars, low comp pistons when its running only phase 2?? It simply doesn't need it? ECU remap AND phase 2, thats clever
Even if it has got all that, thats only around £3k's worth of tuning parts. Then say £4k for regals charges (they saw him coming).. Thats a max of £8k.
£80k, my ass, Donna spent nothing like that amount, and that went back to carisma in 4 different stages (GSi+pain+ leather, then the bodykit and 1st dash leather, then the ICE install, new dash, then for the bumper to be modified+bonnet+pod holder etc). The most expensive way. Its also had two engines, one being tuned, the other being standard.
Shes spent no-where near half of that money on D5. What a load of BS...... Thats over 6 years as well!!!!!! 4 different brake setups, 3 different exhaust systems, 3 sets of wheels, 2 engines, 3 re-trims etc.....
Total BS, but its max power, its true really....

what a tool, i really really cant get my head round pople that spend so much modifying a car that really isnt that good and is gonna be worth a fraction of the money they plough into it when finished.
As said will end up on ebay in a yr for some silly price then keep being readvertised for 5 grand less each time until he gets fed up and sells it for £1753
cock is all i can say, must either have more money than sense. or load of debt to show for a pretty lame car...

Engines - Total £35,000 and £15,000 on this LET
What bloody engine he have in and then throw £20k on them
Also says he had the car for 4 years, so £80k over 4 years is around £385 per week on mods alown.
Would love to know how mush money he earn to have that much left over after all the bills (insurace, petrol, food, etc etc) each week to mod his car
somthing dosent add up here
Combat bumpers
if hes spent £80k on that corsa i must be on atleast half a million spent on him
p.s yes i am that bored to work out how much each week

he has made all the pirces up trust me.... he hasnt had 3 sets of coilovers on g max shock and springs ( re gassed shocks so it wouldnt squat under acceleration.. bull shit!!!)when i last saw it a week before max power photo shoot!
resprays costing 9k i dont think so, i help paint the car lol he paid 1500 for the dehandling bumpers mods smoothing etc and full respray 9k i dont know why he bends the truth so much!
from what i ve seen of it it has had 3 engines one being the standard 1.2
then he had a race spec'd nova gsi engine on twin 40's ( the sound was something else) now he got the let in!
for £15,000, regal did such a good job it blew up the other day, its the enignes third rebuild by regal i think or 2nd! its at a new engine builders now suposidly having a new engine built up PROPERLY that'll be £25,000 then!
if he has the money to spend on his car then let him there will always be people that will take it off him!
he told me when we were painting it, it cost him£70k that was a week before the max power shoot, now its £80k maybe the fuel costs, he has had to buy some shares in an oil cpmpany!
who knows, it wont be at pv this year i dont think he hasnt mention to me that he is going! i would advise him not to go as people have said people would jus laugh!

Thats a joke.
If I spent 15k on an engine I know it would be the better side of 600bhp.

I think you would be surprised!
It would need a lot of one off bits, a daft turbo, and some serious management and mapping. Also transmission needs looking at.
Could come to more than 15k! However as I'm guessing it could come to a lot less lol

think VMax do there 750 (full engine) for £15k but i recon you could build the same spec yourself for less
