Aerotop Dave Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Yep, looks good Love that Blitz blue fan cover doobry (jeez, why do I bother with the technical stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 enjoy yourself mate and at least try to make a few meets I will Roy, I know Terry was very frustrated that he chose to sell it because he has just got it running perfectly, the best it has been running for 2 years and its been off the road for a long time (which is why Terry couldnt make any meets), but I'm enjoying it already, and the power is kept down superbly by the Autronic Traction control function of the ECU.

nick_karkie Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 BTW Nick - i love the first line of your sig Is it the fact that I said it was an old purple throbbing monster ha ha, no, seriously, the reason I refer to it as Terry's car is because he did all the work and got it built to that spec and I just bought the car, so he deserves all the credit for the car:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Looks like a beast hope your enjoying it. How does it compare to your old car then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 There is no comparison, it doesnt roll round corners, phenomenal acceleration between 40-160 (not that I've tried:D ), everyone goes on about how laggy huge turbos are but its really not that laggy on a manual car because you can get in the rev range if you use the gears correctly. Only difficulty with the car is speed bumps , I hate them, but its not so bad over them, but multistorey will be a no no:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Good to see a few pictures as I've heard a lot about the car. Must be gutting to spend so much time, money and effort and then have to sell it.

Performa Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Saw the car outside Terry's house last week when dropping some disc off to him. Probably just the day before Nick is coming. Really nice looking car, amazing work been done to it. and Very nice guy Terry !!! Looks like nick is very good in teasing Terry this way.
