They really need to learn that you NEVER get back what you put into a kitcar. Also I find people take you more seriously then adverts are spelt correctly (Some rather than sum)

Oh, I dunno... apart from the engine, it can't stand them more than five or six hundred quid, surely?

...I mean, WTF is going on with that chassis?!

Apart from the chickenshit welding and the open-ended tubes at the front, it looks as though there is no diagonal bracing in the forward part of the cockpit side frames?!

Yes. But to showcase the engine I would have chosen a better platform.

Accident waiting to happen as pings to mind never seen the pic of front of chassis before ( ouch)

He should sell it in parts will probably get his money that way,

Chassis well would you go out in it with all that power?

Parts car and agree would be near that to build the engine so if you want a busa turbo buy the car for parts job done,

To pass IVA would require a certain amount of confidence in the chassis build. With a pass would come a certain increase in value.

Question is, how much would you trust the engine, having seen the rest of the car?
