Someone I know had one of these for about 4 weeks, drove it 3 times and got rid, Very very loud, very uncomfy, and drew loads of unwanted attention, people following him home etc, didn't one of these hold the 0-100 back to 0 record for some years?
Awesome bit of kit all the same....
Someone who lives by me has red one, sounds epic, not a bad time to get one as they are pretty cheap, and Petrol is supposed to by going down to less than a pound a ltr........:cool:
Lovely car that mate.
Hello mate, you need to fit an inline resistor between the wires, from memory its something like 23ohms, but you need to make sure its a decent size otherwise they overheat, I got mine from maplins, its like a long rectangular type, as the normal bulb types get too hot, mines soldered in and...
Is there not an argument to say, work with the grip you have, if you cant afford or don't want to spend £600 on a set of tyres, then drive to the tyres grip level, I have medium budget tyres fitted to mine, not the most expensive by a long shot, and I have to work to make them spin or lose...

Most of the cost will be in labour to get at the release bearing, so if you are going to change that, you might as put another few quid to it and change the clutch at the same time, usually comes as a kit anyway....
I sort of like it, twin turbo one would be the one to go for, even in standard guise 0-60 in just over 5 seconds and 160+, and I bet it wouldn't take a lot to increase the power....
How close to the motors limit though? i.e. on the verge of going bang all the time?
Maybe easiest and cheapest setup would be 2 GSRX1000 engines mounted where the back seat is?
http://www.tigerracing.com/z100.php, just as idea of the engine setup.... I bet you could pick both motors up for less...
