How has such a dinky engine not gone bang yet? My rough calculations put that at the equivalent of a 300 hp 3 series due to your car being made of tin foil.

The 4EFTE is a great simple engine. Forged rods & pistons people run up to and over 300bhp with a good turbo setup. Over 250ft lbs of torque the mains caps get a bit ropey but you can buy billet ones instead or use the 1.5L bottom end and block from a Toyota Paseo.

I miss my Glanza for that reason, 230bhp with a Race-Tech TD04 kit strapped on it, full boost with a screamer pipe used to get some looks it's the only car I ever regretted selling and the guy who bought it from me must have crashed it within a year of ownership as it dropped off the planet

Because the Japs know how to build a solid engine

Some come with forged parts from the factory, so will handle way more power on OEM internals. They put the money in that stuff, the Germans put it in to nice dashboards.

I wouldn't describe the WRX STI as a solid engine

The 2.5 was a bit off, but the others are good.

Somehow someone has managed to make my least favourite car in the world even worse...

 

[Dis86]

That'll be Grudas

 

[Nasher]

Maybe they are a "prepper" and it's a zombie apocalypse car.

No one is going to attack you to steal a PT Cruiser, even if it means life of death.

 

[Akagi]

PTSD Cruiser.

I do like how the other cars have surrounded it - thus preventing it escaping into the wild.

Went out with some friends last night and was offered a lift by one of them. As we were going in to London I thought he'd bring his Range Rover, but evidently I thought wrong.





Offered me a drive of it if I had drive other car, gutted that I don't on my policy! I want a McLaren now.

12Cs have depreciated a crazy amount, they are a great car and "good value" atm (as much as a ~£100k car can be!).

Taken on my Android potato.

How much to fix the ding in the bonnet?!

Ouch! Didn't spot that. Looks like he managed to tuck the nose under something when parking.

 

[NewGamer11]

Is that why his front plate is missing too?

 

[wedrum]

Oh dear Lord stumbled on this beauty for sale

 

[floatindolphin]

Is that a Bugatti?

 

[wedrum]

Is that a Bugatti?

Can be yours for a mere £1850

 

[NewGamer11]

Is it a taxi?
