Gregs

biglee

lukeytheduke

it may be 280bhp but that was when it was made years and tears ago,

i wouldnt bother mate, get a 2 seat quad bike for that

_DAN_

Hefty cars iirc.

biglee

so ive been and had another good look at it and look at the paperwork, all looks good,

283 hp @5993.....3 months ago

new turbo 1500 miles ago, stg 2

found loads of problems like a buckeled wheel and fooked pads n discs,

so ended up payin 500 quid for it....

should be fun...

its a wide body one and looks ok.... get some pics up tomorow if anyone wants to see??

_DAN_

Yeah go for it mate always liked those as a budget bargain.

Bargain IMHO

digita1dragon

My fave shape Heard they are a little heavy but should look cool at least!

pee vee

i'd like to see that mate!
sounds like a bargain!!!!

my mate has had a couple of the later shape (205) GT4s

wasnt that impressed with his 1st one, but the one he has now
seems a bit better... as said though,
just dont SEEM that quick... Aint they almost 50-50 torque split too?
(my mate seems to think they are!)
so from what i Saw of him driving his, they tend to understeer quite a lot.

but!! 500 quid for 280 bhp.. bargain!

leecavturbo

leecavturbo

i thought these had torque sensing diffs/4x4 and handle monster power ?

biglee

cant go wrong for a monkey

biglee

lol, ive been givin it beans all day and havin loads of fun.....then....bang went the head gasket ...its blowin all the water out lol....so i will put a better one on at the weekend.. i expected that to happen at 2bar of boost ......it held for nearly 5 hours tho and 50quids worth of petrol. not bad..

Mr C

iTrader: (2)

looks not too bad bar the alloys, nice find

BM08

shit wheels but for 500 a bargian

Mr Sam

total bargin, broken it allready 2 bar of boost

EIL132

£500 is a bargain, even with the venoms. Fix it, lower the boost or at least get a decent intercooler and enjoy it

Stavros

Why the FUCK was you running 2bar boost you fucking clown

should be about 1bar at that spec

biglee

gona get the head off on sat, goin to fensport engine builder to be skimmed, tested ect...

got me a full steel head gasket on its way and a full engine gasket set....

reckon it should be done by weds...

so what boost should it be, it sayin in the history fensport set it to 25 psi, so i guess it should be there abouts..
im gona get it in to them to be set up properly when ive fixed it...
