MMMMMM sod the 1000hp skyline :)

Great for running from pump to pump or from mechanic to mechanic (whatever comes first)

No oilwell-owners interested?

hehe i love the Testarossa but what puts me off them is it sounds to much like test-a-tosser

like test-a-tosser

Bit like Slobodan Milosevic..... aka Slobber Down Mah Cock Ya Bitch

Go on, say it! :D

why are his front tyres bigger than his rears I wonder?

In article , snipped-for-privacy@dojj1.fsnet.co.uk spouted forth into uk.rec.cars.modifications...

It's really a very clever kit for a Nova.

Bigger profile because the fronts are a lot narrower, you mean?

Cool, I remember Thresh winning that from Jon Carmack in my Doom playing days, the poxy fker. I've won quite a few hundred quid from playing Quake competitions myself, but sadly nothing of quite that stature :)

It had nitrous fitted as well when Jon gave it away, can't see any mention of that on there...

The rear 335 is quite a bit wider than 235 front if you ask me.

Its down the bottom as an 'asked question'. They took it off coz "The engine has so much power that it just didn't really add anything"

HTH

However, it was for sale last year on eBay with a completely blown engine - hole through the block if I remember correctly !

What's the betting that guy bought it, bodged it up for cheap, and now he's making some swift dollars :)

True,.

1000bhp yes.

1000 reliable bhp...nope.

the buggers changed it!!!!!! they were 235 on the front and on the back with 40 profile on the front and 30 profile on the back!!!!!! the bastard!!!!! I bet he reads this newsgroup as well and hasn't turned up to say "thanks mate for telling me there was a mistake :) " git :(

I thought it was sold with a few piston rings gone

Well true but I don't think you will get many cars that will be as stable at

1000 bhp.

exactly....

for that money (initial investment of a 'rarri + the work done) i'd expect a fairly relaible 1000Bhp. it can be done too as proved by many a company demo car.

Skyline, Supra, Lambo. Konigsegg, some of the Chevy V8 Supercharged hotrods, Probably with some work, the new GT40.

Yeah but those cars are all drag strip quarter mile cars, that ferrari is road legal at 1000 bhp, I know there are cars that can be put on boost up to

1000 bhp that have been features in mags but most state in the feature that they dont run it at that sort of power rateing normally.

Nope. Needs a very expensive special reinforced 2.7L block to run over 800bhp.

What do you mean by stable? Last a year of daily driving with a drag run every month and a couple of track days?

You will never get a reliable 1000hp from a sub 3 litre car. The only way to get that much power is boost and lots of it and there is a few (very few) cars that have that much horsepower in Japan, they are grenades. Even with an Os Giken 3 litre block and a couple of Trust turbos you aren't going to be getting much time between rebuilds.
