Drive shafts hit the frame...

and considers that OK.......

DarrenW - 20/1/06 at 01:22 PM

35K to build. 20K for plate, 15K for car i reckon.

nick205 - 20/1/06 at 01:43 PM

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

if that goes for under 10K someones got a bargain!

froggy - 20/1/06 at 02:04 PM

10,100 quid at the minute .ive budgeted 15k to build mine but il never get the dax premuim back for it

tony9876 - 20/1/06 at 02:12 PM

I dont know about anyone else but i just love the raw feel of a driveshaft wearing through a piece of square steel tubing.

Ouch,

I've seen 2 Quadras and neither had the built in lathe effect !!!!

Too much money spent !

i bet its the front prop rubbing not the driveshafts

Fatboy Dave - 20/1/06 at 03:14 PM

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.

matt_baxter - 20/1/06 at 04:57 PM

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

Fatboy Dave - 20/1/06 at 05:13 PM

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 busazx12r 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.

olv - 24/1/06 at 04:51 PM

finished on £12,200. i suppose it's a lot of performance for the money
