Awsome. What car should I be watching out for? Quite a few nice cars round here, watch out for a blue shelby gt500 on 20" rehaaams!! It made 610bhp on jabbasports rollers and runs a sub 12s at the pod!!

Shes slowing getting there,major stuff is pretty much done (except a turbo/engine conversion but that may not happen

) Hoping to take her on a track day this year so should be interesting to see how the whiteline set up handles

Don't worry about a lack of power!! I get my arse handed to me at every sprint even by a 1.3 clio!! It has no interior at all bar a kirkey seat and it beats everything!! The driver helps though!! The guy is called neil wade and he races in the british rallycross championship in a new shape mini powered by a 2.3 turbo saab engine!!

Welcome Gary.

The Soarers are great value like you say. I have a couple of customers with them and they love them.

Welcome to the club Gaz

I have lusted after a Soarer before and will own one soon enough; Dave @ Prolex's one is always an example that makes me smile.

37.5k per year average is some serious mileage mate.........and no nickings is even more impressive

109mph terminal from that power is mental! That's quicker than my old GTR in it's original spec and that's with more power and more grip. Fair play.

cheers dude, I did some serious mileage in the beginning, litteraly traveling up and down the country doing trackdays!! then my missus had a family death and we were travelling between home and the in-laws every week! calmed down a lot now though. that terminal speed was very good! I suppose a 1600kg car with 300-odd lb/ft would probably compare fairly well to a bog standard skyline gtr once moving, I suspect the gtr's engine will give a lot more from very little tinkering though!!! limit on the soarer is about 350-ish then you'd need to go with a single or hybrid turbo's.
