wow that would be a great track weapon, however at that price I would probably opt for 360 CS.

 

[Andyk]

Yes, it is a little pricey...But one of a kind I suppose...

 

[Dan!]

How about this for quite a bit less money and almost as much power? Edit: In fact only 5bhp less!!

[ADM]

That is great value

 

[Andyk]

Brings bacl some memories Dan...Less Honda...

 

[Dan!]

That's an Audi lump in the Ebay ad, but I've always toyed with a Honda conversion.
I think it's incredible value, if I didn't have a new business venture requiring £20k I'd put a bid on it for sure.... and then work out where to put it.

That has been for sale for an age, but it is the b*llocks, would love it, paint it orange, but as Andy says, 360 CS or you could get a new GT3 911.

 

[Andyk]

Orange...Think it loks great in the red bull livery.............This car is for someone who already has a gt3 rs in the garage its a toy or a car for someone who wants to go racing...


Ah Dan didn't read it had an Audi lump in it....Been in a Honda supercherges one and it was bloody mad....Never been in an Audi converted one..Will soon though as my mate Chris has just put an Audi engine in his mrk1 Elise which I'm sure he will bring to Llandow.

 

[GransportFan1]

what audi engine has he put in it?? And why do some lotus owners put audi and honda engines in their cars.

 

[Dan!]

It's usually the tt lump and then it's normally turned up to 320bhp.
The Honda / Audi debate is long running and inconclusive. The main differences being that the Honda is revvy and needs to be worked, N/A is about 200bhp and S/C is 320bhp+, where as the Audi lump is comparatively lazy and torquey, so often driving style is the deciding factor. Both are very quick indeed.

 

[Andyk]

Think Chris has a the TT engine in his.....Must go up at the weekend and get him to take me out in it...
