Anyone know the guy in DXB with the Ultima GTR?

I'd like to have a chat with him about registration/build etc whistle

Oh, and does anyone want to buy my XFR so I can fund my latest.....errr.....itch? Been wanting to build a car for about 20 years so think it is finally time.

And what better way to start than with an 800 BHP GTR?

Dan,

Are you really selling the XFR?

Reluctantly. Very reluctantly.

Wife has given permission for a 800 BHP Ultima build in a moment of drunken madness; I therefore have to seize the opportunity with both hands.

i'm told it can often be found of an evening in fitness first car park, disco gardens.

post on GPH, there's a couple of guys building factory five cobra kits who'll be able on advise on the import and registration process.

the autodrome have LS7 engines going cheap, 500ish bhp and trick parts, ripe for supercharging.

where will you perform the build?

Build will be in my carport, covered in with added A/C, lighting, elastictrickery and carpet.

Why is the DA offloading cheap LS7 engines? Fall off the back of a race series?

yep, the failed speedcar series. they've got everything from 0mile to lightly used. sam bought one recently for his tvr and has spoken to the company who supplied/tuned them.

speak to your landlord and enclose the car port. it's a ballache working on anything when you're sweating buckets.

Do you know how much a 0 miler goes for? This may mean I can move up the timeline....

I'll enclose the carport with some garden fence or corregated stuff, then pipe A/C in from the drivers room. Whch would now be my parts store smile

I struggle to know what end of the spanner to hold but need to be involved with this somehow!

Can do the build photos?

Shameless plug for the XFR Dubizzle ad. http://tnydu.biz/DOmMyW

So, 2 years in a rented Ford Figo for me then. Got to be worth it though.

Applications for spannering, record-keeping and general workshop/teaboy will be gratefully received.

It may be just a rumour but I had heard that the "tuning" company didn't actually tune the engines at all and thus they were no more powerful than the stock engine.

Sam checked this out with the tuning company before he parted with the money and was happy with what he bought

Dan best to drop sam line if you want the detials on the LS7's

Loved the posting on dubizzle. Made me chuckle quite a few times.

You should also post some pics of the interior.

Matters not that the engines are not tuned, I understand that they were supplied with the intakes removed and carbs fitted? I know how much the DA paid for them too, in 2008, with waranty.

Who is Sam?

And where did you find that beautiful example of an XFR parked up, it looks almost a stunning as mine?
