fair enough bud, yeah i probably will be disappointed.. but i know i need better brakes so i'll probably just get that and a simtek ecu.. like the guy above said, bahamas is a good idea

 

I think you would need alot more cash than that to get gorgeous babes to feed you on the beach

 

well a couple of mingers would do at the moment.but dont forget steve i didnt only pay for one big engine build i have just had to fork out for another,so my car now stands me at £10000,0000000,000000000,000000000.give and take a few quid.

 

bigarf - how did the 2nd build go ?

 

I've a gsxr 750 with nearly 25% more power than a 636r and it feels way more stable than my "big" power classic at full tilt.

TBH a lot of people ask the same question but don't even make it past stage one as soon as they find out whats involved.

 

i've got nothing against bikes or bikers, i like how the bikes look aswell but i just dont feel safe on them and i never will.. i like being sat in a bucket seat with a seatbelt and nice body shell around me... music is a bonus

 

No offence taken, my point was that in a big power classic you may not feel quite as secure as you think you will.

 

Keep it around 350-400bhp with decent brakes and suspension would be my advice, classics are great fun at that level Add 50bhp if its a lardy newage for the same cost effective, reliable fun.

I have paid out for two rebuilds in the past and have had to pay to get other bad work put right as well When you pay people to have work done and go for big power they are just a total waste of cash I have someone who works on my car now that I'm really happy with and trust his opion more than most others. If it were not for him I think I would of sold y car off as well.

 

says the man with the fastest impreza ever?

hahaha.. it's running about 330/340 atm with a vf23 ihi... what would a simtek ecu add to that if anything?

cheers for the advice

 

Andy's car was into the 8 sec 1/4's at the last scooby shoot out, think he knows what he is doing

i know mate, i just found it amusing he said 350/400 is perfect for a scoob when he's obviously got at least twice that hahaha..

 

Why's that amusing? Surely the fact that Andy has a car with that much more power should give his opinion even more weight?

He has a point too. Sure, if you want to quarter-mile, the more the merrier, but for a roadcar that is practical to own and enjoyable to drive (which means throttle response and flexibility as well as pure power), there is such a thing as a happy medium. More is not always better.

 

ahhh i just have a really random sense of humour lol.. of course i appreciate his opinion 1000%.. it is andy forrest after all.
