its either this months/last months. i did read it (not that i bought the mag, i work in a shop !! lol) Hes running a LET i think. They say £80,000, but the article says he has gone thru 4 sets of aloys or something stupid, 2 resprays, 10 this, 10 that etc.

surely even if it had ten sets of wheels and 10 resprays it wouldnt add up to 80k would it.

surely if he has gone throught sets of alloys, kits and interior etc, surely he would of redeemed some of that back, cant see how you physicly spend 80K on a car let alone a corsa.

unless its something like..
corsa £4k
LET engine - £2k
fitting engine - £1k (could have been ripped off somewhere)
then brakes, suspension £1k
bigger turbo and engine stuff £3k (you never know)
then a few flip paint resprays and some kandi ones £10k (based that on 2k per job)
then the wheels... really expencive ones.. like Kahns each time.. 10 sets would be around £10k
then ICE.. you can always spend loads on that..
well at most i would say (if using some of the top equipment) £50k but that would end up with some serious kit..
Alpine F1 headunit.. £2.5k
JL W7 stuff or higher grade..
dont believe it myself but whatever.. it is Maxpower after all

Are you saying that your good buddies over at Maxxy Poo may be over exagerating their articles?

four sets of coilovers costin up to 3k --------------- thought these were about 500 a kit, why need 4 sets
two pairs of racing seats over 1k -----------------bit more believable!!
six custom exhaust systems costin over 4.5k - fuck off!!!
8 sets of wheels 9k yes but what donkey buys 9 sets??
two resprays and bodywork 9k --------------- 4.5k a time, seen you coming!!
complete dynamat interior and instal and rtetrim 9k - retrimmed in what, mink fur with shag pile carpet
80k.....yea as said I think 8k would be more colser to the truth!!
