Impreza trailer !!!!!!! That is fricken awesome..

They are some impressive bills there Domino but come on, don't hold us in suspense any longer. Get a spec list up....

Exactly my point. Even 25K at RCM would get you a decent build.
So 4X the money should see a fire breathing 1000BHP Tarmac spitting 4 wheel drive monster.
60K would see you at well over 700 with awesome suspension, brakes etc etc.

Does seem over priced. saying that it looks like he's had a few builds. So not all that cost is in the current parts.

she say yes then ? and bet lots of the bill's are doing things over when you fined that there's something that will do the job better

got a mate been building a car for 5 years now never turned a wheel but had 8 engine builds to date keeps seeing something else and starting over

CREWJ

That's the issue. These end up being what you've spent. It may as well be what you've spent on fuel.

You should only quote the parts you have installed on the car. Blown engines don't count, it's what's there for the buyer that matters.

Does he work in a bodyshop by chance? Got a mate the same, spent serious money on his corsa, finally got it all on the road, drove it for a week and decided he wanted to re-build it. Rebuilt it 3 times with rear engine conversions etc and differing specs and eventually scrapped it! Cost him loan after loan.

Now done the same with an Audi TT and an escort Cossie. Some people are just not happy and spend a fortune on projects that never see the light of day!

These people must have money to burn. All I want is a nice 360 to 380 fast road car.

60k & still running a WRX box with only 500bhp - sorry, but you have been done. I spent 20k, had 478bhp with all the right bits on a 2.5 & a 6 speed box, not to mention all the suspension reworked & new brakes.

Mind you I prefer my current car now....

no he's a corsa dealer/builder for people

you'll want more when your there

Not sure, don’t recognise name but may do!

I'm sure, nearly there with the shopping list, just need the turbo I think. After Xmas now

domino46

the engine is only one part of the car ,,you need the rest of the car done to suit 600bhp

MattyB1983

iTrader: (51)

Agree 100%, but achieving the 600 is the most expensive part. You could possibly do another 20K on everything else and still have an absolute monster.

Hahahahahahahaha, not as impressed with the 100k on the car, BUT the trailer!!! Now tha'ts f**king punk!

domino46

think people are getting me and who the thread was started about confused,,,,yes iv spent 60k on the wrx but thats not just the engine like some of you seem be thinking,,,,granted some of the parts are no longer on the car but only due to being upgraded

domino46

60k mate not 100k ,,the thread wasnt started about me and thats not my ebay add,,,,,the trailer has a tv and xbox inside for the rainy days at the track (no back seats in mine)

domino46

again another person getting me and the add confused,,, mine has a 6 speed and is not the one being advertised for sale

MattyB1983

iTrader: (51)

Get a spec list up Domino to stop all the confusion.

domino46

thats if it all goes right the first time

MattyB1983

iTrader: (51)

Yep, you've got a good point there fella.
I'd bloody hope that 25 large at FB tuning or RCM would be pretty safe money though.

last i heard he had a highly modded civic but that was 6 years back

do tell and what turbo you getting ?

DamienP1

agree.......lets talk facts though guys there are not to many 700+ motors out there that don't have nigling faults here and there never mind 1000bhp........a lot of guys who own 700bhp+ motors are pretty handy with a spanner also and can sort out the small probs they have in an instant, others are not to fortunate and have to rely on a tuner to keep playing with it so for 60k you don't have to have a super powerful engine but yes a reliable 550-650 would defo be on the cards..............

60k is a lot of dollar..........but when factoring suspension etc its not just coilovers........its the full bush set the full antiroll bar set, sway bars drop links anti lift kit the also gearbox mounts, wrc engine mounts, wide track kits, spacers, alignment, front/rear struts........and thats just handling.......inc labour onto that and theres a small fortune spent..............simply put its very easy to get to 60k when using expensive parts, technology is moving at a rapid rate and better parts are coming out every month, and sometimes when your one of the first to have that part it can cost until slowly but surely they phase out become cheaper and everyman and his dog has them........granted their still top parts but then better ones are on the market that are lighter, stronger and last longer etc etc..........

so regarding dominos spec I have no doubt its a top spec with very good parts indeed but if he posts it people will be like thats not 60k worth I can get that for 40k.........at the time it would have been...........and 60k is a small fortune and people say why spend it on a scoob........its a hobby......simples

Been there done that, 60k for the full package is realistic. Its very easy for the bills to start to build up, I still need suspension and race prep (seat, firewall etc ect) and the bill is on the scary side, I wouldn’t change it for the world tho.

domino46

someone talking sense at last ,,,and your right on why i havnt put my spec up,,,,but if anyone see's me at the track or shows (just look for the trailer) im happy to talk to you in person about the car and go over it with you

ditchmyster

iTrader: (7)

Just ignor those that can't be bothered to read the whole thread so as to actually know what they are talking about, and like i said in an earlier post i have spent 20k and if i were to spend that now i would have a much better spec, as when you have the knowledge and experience then you are able to save money or spend it more wisely.

For anyone doing a build of any type it's always a work in progress.

stann01

domino, do drive to work through saltford (near bath) early in the morning by any chance? see a car like yours now and again.
