Bill Prawn Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I think Haribo is the clue. Is he going to drive around offering young girls sweeties to come for a ride in his car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest slow dog Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 sorry its not supercharged and haribo is a clue to the colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I think it's a single turbo'd GTE engine, in a NA aerotop shell, with LOTS AND LOTS of electronic toys fitted. Oh, and it'll be in a "distinctive" colour. Am I close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 And for those of you that still don't know....the big secret was.... Take an old NA aero and stick a VVT-i turbo engine in it...and add some bling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Alex... bit more than that actually... The following was changed.... VVTi Engine Tiptronic gearbox LSD added ABS added VVTi Dash and steering column Complete wiring loom Single turbo added emanage added New suspension all round NOS refitted to the VVTi with progressive controller UK Brakes refitted to the VVTi oh yeah and most of the engine parts were polished So it wasn't as simple as just sticking a VVTi engine into it... (I sometimes wished it had been that simple) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 "lets just say its never been done before and most people on here would not even dream of attempting it no its not a twin engine no its not 4 wheel drive and no its never been done and no you will not guess " A single turbo'd VVTi, then... Glad to see it's coming together though - you need to pump up your front right space saver lol -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
