Hello all, thinking of going for another 7 style car and was wondering what people's thoughts on this one are:

Looks to have a very good spec but what do others think?
Thanks
Lee
Looks well built but the only way to know for sure is to go and have a butchers at it?
I saw that - Im not a fan of the yellow but it looks very well specc'd.
Hi
Very nice engine 5-7K to build new. However very expensive to repair WHEN it goes wrong. The gearbox BGH HD will not take the power/torque so needs
upgrading to a proper Quaife / Tranex. And it's all in a chassis that certainly wont Handel that power / torque. All adds up to a big
disappointment and expensive to sort engine.
With a 10K budget to play with there's plenty of choice out there with a much better more balanced package.
Cheers Matt
Good to see you're still about Lee, what's up with the old car? Missus still got the tiv?
