That not only rocks, it rolls.

Pure Japchat porn!

I recognise that engine. It was just sitting there on it's own. Wondered what it was for. Tried to put it in my pocket but it wouldn't fit

Someone has spent a *lot* of money....

Ah, now MrE, it depends where you shop...

Indeed.

It could be a stupid amount of money if he bought it all here.

Do$h mostly Spent here.He rich man senior
I met this guy at Japfest last year,had the same massive single turbo.He'd had the car 2 days & was taking it out on the track.
There were only 2 track crashes at Japfest last year.
Any way it got tw*tted into a 'harder surface' at Camp corner.Quite a lot of body damage(took some pics).I managed to chat with him a couple of hours later & it always struck me as odd,to how cool & philosphical(sp?) he was about the whole thing.I'd have been in bits.
Few weeks later it's heard that the car is at Abbey having a complete 'redo'.Also that he has a 'fleet' of interesting fast,expensive cars.
Hey, he can afford to be cool about a little smash-up.

I'm starting a book on what will happen,on the track, this year-odds on?

can't see the point in wasting good money on getting a big horsepower car from scratch. its not like you can say you did it yourself. you didnt - abbey did. you were the muppet who gave abbey £50k! well done to abbey on two counts (Abbey... it's about you and your money? )

much more sensible to buy a ready-tuned car

Fair point, did think about it, but most ready tuned (ie 600bhp+) were 23 grand...

Or if your shadowninja.. alot less than that

Abbey haven't worked on this car (yet). It's a GT-S, not a GT-R.

The owner also has a stripped-out R32 GT-R painted gold with Top Secret stickers - this is what the car crashed at JapFest was reshelled into.

even £23k is cheaper than buying a standard car for about £10k and "investing" £50k

My mistake then.Appy-polly-gees

The black R32 with the enormous turbo(of JapF fame)is now the gold top secret one.?

Yes, the running gear was put into a shell that had been in Abbey's "graveyard". It has a totally stripped interior and has had quite a bit more tuning since then.

There are quite a few GT-Rs around these days with bigger turbos than a T78...
