A 90's dream perhaps? Performance to match bodykit!

not sure about the writeup, maybe anyone knows something about it?

The bodykit puts me off completely, but sounds interesting. However, you could consider this to be more sleeper than a sleeper, imagine actually beating exotic cars in a chav machine! Does anyone actually expect these types of cars to be fast!

How are you supposed to drive it without a steering wheel?

Or is that just to prevent torque steer?

yes, the 2 secs sounds a little exaggerated which leads me to believe some of the other points are also questionable.

I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR 10K, WITHOUT THE COST OF THE CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE


I can only imagine the cost of the car in the first place. What are we taking about...2, maybe 300 pounds.

0-60 in 2 secs...i wouldnt want to go over 60 in that thing.

Plus he needs to decide whether its 583 or 588hp. Or it just sounds like he's picking numbers out of thin air.


433BHP NEXT WENT ON THE NOS 150bhp SHOT THATS A STAGGERING 588bhp

I have a simliar sort of thing (well mines in an Ibiza, rather than a Fiesta and doen't have an old boat anchor YB pushing it along), but it does make over 600bhp, it's just that i have recipts for >£70k rather than £10k.....................

I personnally don't think £10k is a lot of money considering the ammount of custom stuff required to really make a car like that go and handle well etc

You spent over £70,000, on a SEAT Ibiza? yikes

Do you use it for hill climbs, time attack, or something?

it was a pretty epic tarmac rally car (at about 1/3 the cost of a 'real' WRC car and quicker on (dry)stages) before the MSA banned it......... banghead

Even with all the weight reduction in the world, and the 1000bhp, is it ever possible to get a sub 4 second 0-60 with fwd????

I was going to say, £10k for that much power is total bks. Much much more money needed.
