I can think of ways to get to 60 in 3 seconds cheaper than £35k!!
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

apparently it "adds to the raw feel of the car"
Could that be the raw feel of your arse after if falls apart and you hit the tarmac
Nice looking car though and I do like the thought of 4 wheel drive

Nah, front prop has nothing to rub on in the Quadra. It's a two piece affair with a centre bearing, and there's plenty enough clearance
around it.
Intrigued by what the noise is though, as mine never made any strange noises (well, other than the driver, but that's to be expected!).
As for 15k for the car and 20k for the plate, the other way round might just about cover it, but you certainly don't get the engine he probably
spuked about 6-7k on included in that figure...

I thought the general consessus was that spinning things shouldn't touch stationary things. Apart from the road before anyone says it.
Also, 35 K and its out in the rain!

better out in the rain than in an air conditioned garage and never be used.
as an aside, there is an ultima still out there, 22K ish now; be interesting to see for how much the Dax goes.

I think 32psi is quite a bit to be pumping in to it I wonder how many head gaskets that will get through on a good blast

Obviously part of the "Ugh, more, boost!" knuckle dragging brigade. They'd rather turn the boost up then tune it properly.
Chap I know has 320bhp from his otherwise stock engine (mildly ported head done at home in the garage) and a GT28RS turbo running 1 bar boost
controlled by an Emerald.
Just shows some people are easilly parted with their money

surely you can build a turbo busa\zx12r for a hell of a lot less then that and will be just as quick.
just seems a touch OTT for £35k, can't see where the money has gone.
