Class........"i backed off at 150mph"

Hahah,,,,thats brill
Is it just me or is that engine offset as well?

Shed of the week

 

hehe nice ride

 

My god! Its not even a red top engine.

LMFAO @ eats subarus!

Keeps up with mondeos would be more appropriate.

 

FFS its not even a redtop engine, its a fooking ecotec ughh wash yer mouth out ....at least the redtops were a real engine, that ecotec powered pile of cow dung

 

lost for words!

 

was going to say not even a redtop lmao what a ****!

I'd be interested to see a pic of his 150mph gps readout lol

 

hah no ignition barrel and no V5, dodgy? u bet yer **** it is

 

1996 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX YELLOW on eBay, also, Subaru, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 10-Nov-08 19:00:00 GMT)
i like this ones wonky rear number plate

 

It would be worth buying for the engine if it was a redtop

 

Well at least he's made a right good job of fitting the "push start" not!!!

Bless 'em it's a shed, having said that at least he's had some bids for it ;-)

 

Thats not wonky! the rear bumper is smashed and he says so in his add

 

no red top?

a red top one would be pretty nippy tbh

might hassle a lowley spec uk classic i suppose ?

 

"THIS FING IS FAST AS ****".

Says it all really.

 

Yeah bruv innit!!!!

 

wouldnt like to be in it on a track doing 150mph its got rear drums hasnt it

 

I thought the red tops were only 156bhp

 

Yep they are, but with a few tweeks they rev very well and surprise quite a few things as i found out with my own. Here she is with a fully rebuilt 'redtop engine' and some nice headwork and mods





Still have it, and it lives in the garage now....sure it was nippy and quite quick, but it would spin the wheels on a spittle lol ....no comparison to a scooby though

 

Push button start....sporty

 

guy must be having a laugh in that old banger

wiley

 

PMSFL I used to have an 8v astra GTE when they were the cars to have and that would spin the wheels for fun in 1st and 2nd , purely as they have no grip and are front wheel drive

 

The red tops had a cosworth developed head and produced 156bhp in a baked bean tin, that weighed 1000kg. 130mph tops.

 

**** nows why they ever went near the vauxhauls though. Gives people the impression they make good cars. The only thing good is the "cosworth head". Hence red top.

 

Unfortunately only the earlier cars had the cosworth or 'coscast' head, the later ones used a GM head and were prone to going porus and mixing the oil and water....nice mess

Had it happen myself but got the head repaired and sleeved by a company called V-TUNING for £100 all in, great job!!

 

What power were you running through it?

 

At a guess i'd say 180bhp or thereabouts....any more than that would need throttle bodies or carb's. I know quite a few people with these 'sleeved' heads on 280bhp+ engined rally cars (massive engine spec) though, all with no head problems at all

 

Wet sleeved heads. Ultimate performance?

 

I think the wonky number plate is the least of his worries
