Location: Adelaide Hills

I would love to burn it, but for the moment its my only way of getting around. Its an absolute heap of s**t, the engine runs alright because its been rebuilt, but its gutless. Just wanted to point out that i do have a car that isn't dead haha. Wont be doing any mods to it or whatever. I'm getting rid of it as soon as the XG is driveable again.

just did some simple addition and for motor, manifolds, brakes and exhaust i worked it out to be about 25 grand, then would have to buy the turbos and all the other necasary items

Where can you build this for this price Mitch?
You could sell your secrets for $5k and would still have people lining up to buy through you.

Then you have pay for a mechanic to install it all which is thousands of hours if you want it to be reliable. If you did it yourself it would be cheaper but if you want quality you need to have a big budget...

Even screwing the motor together isnt hard. Provided you dont rush it and do plenty of research. Save a few thousand there.

i've done a week in a motor reconditiong shop i'd be able to do it, i'd just double check and have someone watching me so they can make sure it's all correct
