I remember Car and Car Conversions used to have a project where they had a car and a budget of £1000 and had to see what they could do with it - they had a Skoda hatchback and ripped all the headlining etc out, stuck a couple of scaffy pipes up the sills (oo er missus!!) got some competition bits - at the time Skoda were winning everything rallying and were flashing some BM to pull over on the M11! Don't ya just love nutters like that!!boxerscott wrote:Would have been more outrageous if he bunged that lot into a Lada
and that's the reality of tuning, pour tons of money into a car project and still have something that's not as all round good as a standard sports bikeThe Teutonic Tangerine wrote:There was a test done by one of the car magazines a few years ago it was a twin engined Golf versus a Standard GSXR1000. Best of three runs over 1/4 mile. The GSX won and did all the runs on the back wheel only. The Golf was left hissing steam and boiling the guy on the Gixxer rode the bike home.
