Doug. I wish 991 GT3s were that cheap mate! Right now they are changing hands in the UK for 10-20K GBP above list with options so around 125-130K GBP.

As for the car in the link - I have to agree with Jake its a poor facimile of a Singer. The Singer has a superlative Cosworth built engine which alone would cost 50K GBP, plus a Mil-spec wiring loom, Olihns top shelf dampers with remote reservoirs and we havent even touched on the unbelievable level of interior bespoke fit out. Im not saying its worth 450K but its definitely something very special. If it had have been half the price I wouldn't own a GT3!

Here is another video of the build of Larry from Ammos 964 C4:

Great video. Would love to have the time (and money, and skill...) to get involved in a refresh/rebuild.

Reading the 2k cup FB page last night. They will be out in force on Saturday. Walter and Tony will be in the thick of it. Take it carefully guys.

BTW 2k cup has just hit 100 entries for the upcoming season.

Macca

John. I suspect you'll find it a tonne easier to buy a car when the series starts and TM quietens down on bods for the popular models...

Should keep it interesting. Hopefully not all of them have had their brake lights wired up to fake on etc like BB had. Plus, here's hoping all 100 of them aren't in Saturday's group. Have ordered my "I never got a clear lap" T-shirt just in case...

Macca, I'm fast thinking the $2,000 rule is a joke or at least openly flouted. To be competitive I need a vtec engine in an integra. I'm having trouble finding another rough BB for $2,000 let alone something in the same condition with a more powerful motor.

John McM

If you take anything out, get footage for the 7/9 meeting.

Macca

John. I tend to agree. What you need is a "broker". Someone to buy it for $4000 and put it on Trade me Buy Now for $2000 with you hovering over the keyboard! of course I never suggested that!

John McM

Btw checking out the deal with Dunlop Direzza II for 2k cup. I'm interested to know how fast BB can go with better tyres .....

John McM

I have a terrible poker face. Couldn't keep a straight face with that. However I could've lived with buying a VTI-R and waiting for the other drivers to break then buying it for its then true value. Anyway first up I need a low 1:29 time with BB as is.

Hope we don't frighten people away from tracking their "precious". Just avoid the wet and uninsured events folks

DOH I didn't look close enough. Thought it was a singer.

Me too. 3.8l rebuild wohoo! Sounds grouse

That covers two of the episodes, Chris was at a dry and insured event

O2GO

Oh, yes. Of course.
