yep, back in the day it was top of the range. Leather steering wheel and seat lol

congrats bolt, look forward to seeing this at some point

should be insane, i think you next investment will have to be a quaife lsd to get all the power down

gotta give you my respect,£2200 for a blown manifold

Very tempted mmmm, will wait to see the results.

Re the Quaife. I noticed the GP and the 147 had the same part nuimber which got me thinking that if they are the same gearbox the Alfa Q2 diff might fit.

Some weeks ago I went to Autlusso Alfa speacialist to check it out. Unfortunately it is a diiferent gearbox, probably a GM unit. Shame as it would have been a chaeper alternative.

Don't I know it :bang:. "Welded for the 3rd time" a couple of months ago

I'm still waiting for the dude on FCCUK who makes the stainless ones to get more 20VT ones .

there was a post on here few months back about a quaife LSD for a grande, i thought the Q2 diff did fit onto a gps? be good to see the results of this

Never said it wouldnt did i? Nope. If we are playing that game then my dads 997 turbo will **** all over your cousins R26

Why would i want a clio 200. Handle well thats it. Id prefer to spend 5k on mine than buy any renault tbh regardless of if you or other people think its worth it or not.

if we are playing that the my dads 5 litre v8 500sec coupe would **** over that.

Dont even know what one of those is.

YouTube- Mercedes 500 sec 1984 burnout

thats the one, ours is a carat by duchatalet one, only 200 were made with the carat kit on it, lush doesnt do it justice :yum:, il try and post some picture of it in the week.

0 - 60 in it is still around 6.5 to 7bseconds and its packing 260ish bhp

And you think that is quicker than a 911 turbo?

to be honest we'v not raced 911 turbo, how old is it classic or newer? but raced a newish (i think it was, some of them all look same to me) carrerra and it was left behind. wev also done a porsche boxter

Its a 997. Boxters and carreras arent comparable to a Turbo. Doubt you would even stay close to us tbh

yeah granted that is a sh*t quick car. we wouldnt be as far behind as u think though . theres only a couple of seconds in it lol

Everything i see on the net says the 500 is 7.8 to 60?

Slower than my GPS then

to be honest i dont know exact 0 - 60 for the 500sec, but the owner before us tuned the engine a bit, ours is sh*t quick.
thats the same speed as an abarth 7.8 isnt it? lol, such a big engine same output as a little 1.4 hahaha. the 500 sec model is 25 years old though

does ur dad won the 997 or is it company? does he take it track days or anything?

If it is that slow then a boxster and carrera wont have been trying. Id like to see it in corners too lol

bit of a tank in corners to be honest, even the turning circle is like a roundabout haha

speed limit is only 70mph, a classic square box merc will always look better than a squished vw beatle looking porsche
