Ok.. so you've been given £20k to spend on your car... but you are not allowed to spend it on a new car, only on modding your own...


What would you spend it on??

I would turn my car into the nearest I could get to a Litchfield Type-25

The 2.5 ltr Cosworth built engine and the AST suspension

The Porshe Brakes

If had any money left the custom leather interior too

A real one is about 40k so should be in budget

There's no replacement for displacement !

3 steps...

1) ENGINE - Supercharged, forged 3.0 litre V6 from a Camry (around £8k inc labour)

2) HANDLING & BRAKES - coilovers, polybush kit, 320mm front rotors & 4 pots (around £2.5k)

3) WHEELS - forged 16" rims 7.5" front, 8.5" rear + R888s (£1500)

4) WEIGHT - carbon bonnet, bootlid, engine cover, front wings, moonroof blank - seats (£2500)

which leaves me around 5k for a respray to match the carbon, and petrol money.


I would be as happy as a pig in doo-doo :D

Gutted I have been beaten to the Turbonator :(

20k you say?

Probably attach some sort of large ballistic weapon to it, to rid myself of the extreme amount of shit drivers there are on our roads :)

If not then a J's Racing 300 bhp N/A engine and a furry dice.
