very good comments but this car runs a 3.2s engine and supercharger to come,straight out pipes,porsche stability management system,etc etc. it also doesnt cost £300,000.
this car is 16 foot long and is 7 foot wide the wheels are 20x12 and 20x10 front this car may have subtle differences but when i am at lights i have people hanging out of there windows taking pictures;
you dont get that in your porsche 911's this car is in pearl orange and the photos will not do it justice, i am talked to,shouted to, and where ever i park it there is a crowd round it, sorry to all those knockers out there you obviousley dont get that in you bolt on goody cars.
Sorry the web site is not up and running yet as the car is only 95% finished we have some things to finish up for the photo shoot


here it is in our local porsche garage and they were blown away also the BMW franchise next door also thought it was mad!!!
this car is individual but based on the looks of the gt and looks and sounds evry bit a supercar

will post more pics and let you know when website is up, thanks again.

sorry to affend any one, but are not forums areas for people to discuss and have there own opinions!!!
we are not out to misrepresent as this still is a porsche not an mr2 and it does fly and as for matching performnace get real this car is not £300000, i know you hard core tuners and piston heads out there may scorn, but if you knew the work that goes into a project like this, you would know that all we are saying is open your mind a bit!!
this car standard is 280hp nevr mind what we have planned!!!
thanks again for real comments!!

It seems that the people on this forum(those that knock others) are so blinkered that they have there little tuned cars,with £5 body kits and bolt on chrome they cant see the workman ship involved in such a project, the paint probably cost more than most of above mentioned yet they put ther 2p in and think they are qualified to comment on such skills that it took to produce a car like this!!
we in fact have a full order book for these kits and 2 cars to be produced so we are not looking for customers we were looking for opions from other like minded people who might appreciate hard work and a challenge,
And for those who say we are on the wrong forum grow up and open your minds to others,its people like you that talk the talk but never walk the walk lets see the pictures of your cars on here,
i appreciate the nissans,fast fords,peugots,fantastic paint work lambo doors,destinctive body work etc etc, i dont go on there threads and go well i dont think thats cool, because i know what hard work has gone into these builds,
and as for the english teachers out there sorry for my poor english grammar i thought this was a forum for fast cars and people who enjoy looking at cars that people have there heart and sole in and well earned money.
please carry on to comment i am not going any where and if any body would like to see the car in the flesh than please come on down.
and to qoute
i am out (but not down)

I'll give you an honest opinion.

Your cars look st, along with any other MR2/boxter based replica. Your an idiot for thinking it looks cool and that poeple are amazed at your would be wealth, anyone can tell it isn't real and when I see someone in a car like yours I am not thinking wow, my primary thought is "What a poor freindless wker"

Your order books maybe full, but this proves a well spoken point. The general public are idiots, ergo your customers are idiots, QED your products are st.

Untill you stop driving around in that heap and stop pretending to yourself and others that you are a rich and smart man you will continue to be labelled an idiot.
well i would love to see your car please post a picture perhaps we could meet in a car park and see who looks at who's
i have had this on the road for over a month and all i get is great comments from people!!!!
it sounds awsome drives amazing and feels a million dollars(must be £5 now) sorry for humor but i find that people who think other peoples work is sh*t have never created anything!!

I doubt any one of your claims is true.
then please please feel free to come and visit and then you can give your opinion on what you see(and it is your opinion! which you clearly like to use)
people who have bought this car thought it looked great on the photos when they saw it for real they were blown away one by how big it was and the quality of the panels and paint work!! as for dump the wheels quote where doea that come from??? if there is one thing that evry one has said about the car it has been how mad and big the wheels are???
cheers again for comments

Not my cup of Tea at all, Doesn't even look that much like the real thing, Sure you missing quite a lot of width, length and hight from the real thing?, and in no way should you be using the GT name on it!! There is no doubt a lot of work gone into it but I would only ever consider it as an option if the other choice was Aids.

The only difference between this and the 355 MR2 kits is the age of the donor car.
Spotted this while looking about, At least these look like the real thing, Again not sure why you would bother because the moment someone realizes you will look like a cock.

OP if people are paying for this fair play.
well you will hate our other car

what people pay is there business as the donor cars start from around £4000 on ebay with damaged panels so a complete car could be as little as £15000 if done at home, up to one like mine on 2003 3.2s with all the porsche (not mr2)extras pcm,sat nav stabilitymanagement etc etc.Worth only what some one wants to pay but insured with specialist company and valued at £45000.

once again i find myself talking to people who have an opinion all be it to sg off someone else's work,i thought this forum was for people who appreciate hard work and good paint jobs etc but to say some ones car is sh*t is just taking the P*ss if your cars are so good lets see them, lets see your pride and joy,
Again you wont see me acting like a school boy saying oh thats Sh*t, but if i dont like something i think the polite thing to say is sorry mate dont like that because!!!!
and that was the reason for coming on a forum about fast cars(and mine is and will be faster).
But if you like sgging other peoples work then carry on.
Remember one mans meat is anothers poison,
thanks again for comments good or bad!!

Ok, youve obviously invested time and money into this but aren't getting the sort of responce from posters you wanted.
Fortunately PH is not just about fast cars, though there are a large number of supercar owners on here, its also about appreciating cars as designed and subtle changes to improve them. Sticking a supercharger on is one thing, but 200lbs of fibreglass is indeed best kept in the Max Power brigade.

I have to remark about your "acting like a schoolboy" - you turn round in the same line saying "my car will be faster than yours".... Hmmmm

Would you be so kind as to add the mods youve done to improve the suspension,brakes etc over the original worn parts of the doner car?
As a general rule of thumb, you make the car stop well before you make it go faster. Painting brake callipers doesnt count either...



the suspension is standard porsche i mean that in the lightest sence it has huge vented discs and callipers as standard,mine also has the porsche stability management system.so no need to improve, if you wish for more details checkout a porsche site for full spec on 3.2s facelift model.
and i did not say faster than yours just faster than it is now!!
as for 200lb of fibre glass, surley lotus and tvr thought it was ok and of course the strength quality of fibre glass is what they line planes with???
the real Gt is made of carbon fibre(form of glass work)
and why worn does not a car become worn as soon as you take it out of the showroom!! all cars are worn its all down to service and repair or replace.
thanks again for the comments.if you look at a real gt they all have painted callipers??
just didnt get round to colour coding to purple yet.still in standard porsche red.

Real Gt = carbon fibre. Yup, thats where the similarity ends, its nothing like fibreglass. I know a little about it, worked at Lola for a bit in their composite shop... You dont need an Autoclave to make fibreglass panels.
Im not saying the car is "worn", just if youve stuck a charger on it then the least you should do is look at the suspension and brakes.
Regardless of how good the original car is, with another 100 or so bhp (I guess) they'll be on their limit. You wouldnt want to be on the end of a court case where somone ran out of brakes on a track day now would you.....

well the set i believe is simalar to the 911 turbo i am sure some one on here will tell me different,
and the guy who supplies the charger says there are no need for engine mods just remaping,he says engine is bullit proof, and remember the porsche boxster 3.2 is good for 165mph anyway!!!check out stats.
