Poll: ocuk drag challenge - Buy a bucket, see who can make it fastest.

[Vince]

Will need to see evidence of the £10 off

Receipt might accidently get lost and i've heard you take bribes anyway.

 

[Akagi]

£510 gets you a 80k mile rx8 it wont be the fastest and if it makes it may well be a miracle but this just might be my excuse to buy one.

It doesn't though does it, its an auction with three days left!

 

[Clarkey]

They are pretty easy to come by for sub 500 tbh

I've always wanted to do something similar to this - buy a car for a small budget and mod it before moving on to the next one. Had a whole list of cars and budgets I wanted to work through. Never had the time or funds but hopefully do something similar next year.

Regarding this little project I would be up for it!

Are you really questioning just how cheap these things are to buy? If good ones with rebuilt engines can be had sub 2k ill be able to hook myself up with a proper ropey one for less than you put into that shed of a celica With my change I might even be able to street port the engine ghetto style (read acme style) with my dremel.

Thinking about it I could even bolt on some shoddy turbo and call it the "turbo toaster". I know a sign writer so some freebie fast and furious wrap might be in order as well, at least I can look fast while broken down.

** SHOTS FIRED!!! All aboard the banter bus!

Just rent a car for a day, its what they are for. With a £500 budget, should be able to get something with a bit of go in it.
Don't forget to lie about its use though.

 

[Akagi]

The Celica wasn't actually cheap so I'd hope so!

Should have been £500 though.

That what you called it?

 

[Akagi]

Ha no I called it the Shedica.

Or sometimes the Celican't.

 

[Housey]

So is this on like Kong or what?

 

[Nasher]

I have a feeling this car will be featuring in a video like these:

Shhh it was actually sub 500, at least this is what you must tell people.

We could also do a sprint race at Curbrough which would be less about power and more about less weight....for 500 quid

That makes it interesting. Something like a little mx5 would be awesome on a sprint race

 

[sanaxe1]

Something like this would fit the bill after stripping it out.

Sounds like a very good idea.

 

[Akagi]

Might I suggest a tweak of this to make it more interesting?

£350 for the car and £350 to modify it for example? Or 400/400 500/500 etc etc.

 

[Jumper118]

You mean £500 to buy the car and £500 to fix it?

 

[Housey]

I'll sell my race car to my wife for 500 quid then buy it back

No need to fix it, leave the dodgy bushes and mounts and leave the creaks and rattles and leaks, and spend the money on turbo's and stuff from eBay!
