It's getting embarasing being associated with them. You only have to read the replies on the SXOC thread to see what I mean.

admitedly the dumpy little Ka isnt much to look at but that car is a bit different.. i certainly wouldnt be ripping the shit out of him.. seems like a bloody good conversion from what you can see...
Also its soooo funny reading peoples coments basically saying they dont belive 215Bhp (hardly dificult is it ) from a CVH
And that you wouldnt get 300 Bhp out of one

To be frank and fair though, you get exactly the same shite on here, from similarly qualified tossers, when someone mentions the S*B*RU word...

I joined here with a nova, and didnt get treated like that, so i reckon PF isnt as blinkered.

I must admit though, claiming you can get a RELIABLE 300BHP out of a CVH is fooking pushing it!

If you get 300bhp out of a CVH and then drive it hard on full boost, it wont last long at all, not my idea of reliable.

Read the posts on there and it's disgusting.

I know some people on here can be harsh to people at times but this is usually after a person has proved themselves to be a twat.

Some of those comment s were launched in an offensive manner without provocation.

I suppose some of the members of the GTiROC asked for it but cross linking threads like that doesn't do any good .

Personally I thought the Ka was pretty good .

I still quite like that car. I think the problem some people had was the idea of PX ing a Gtir + cash for a Ka. They seemed to be ignoring the actual cost of the KA.
It certainly made us look bad

Nope and I'm a moderator on there

Who?

The Americans claim that sort of power on standard internals from our engine, but I haven't seen anywhere near that over here, and anything over 400bhp is normally on full forged internals or 2.2forged
