MK2Ed Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 7 yrs and not done........... Mind u emphasis has changed and it's now a road/race hybrid............. i.e a foookin pain in the arse to drive in traffic.
60ftman Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 5 years and £10k: 3 different engines, 2 different gearboxes, 3 different exhaust sytems, 2 different blowers, 3 different sets of carbs (plus 1 injection system), 2 different brake set-ups (and the third on the way), 2 methanol injection set-ups, 3 nitrous kits, a few pairs of rear tyres. Endless fun!
Copey Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 had mine just over a year and already had to replace the engine, if it wasnt for that it woulda been sprayed by now
NeilT Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 had mine just over 2 mounths and there curtanly isnt any light at the end of this turnle but im not complaining
vibrating_Cake Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 be 2 years on average for me, then get bored and sell up... although with the extra money ive spent on the capper i think im keeping this. but 2 years would be about right for me to be happy with it =)
5hane Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 had mine a few months now.. hopefully it will be done for when im 17 in 1 and a 1/2 years

lee 1 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Three years so far,but the end is in sight i think
emu Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Off the road for all the major work last october. back on again 6 months later. Still stuff I want to do, but its all things that I could do with a couple of days here and there.
brettp Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 i agree they are not ever really finished but i had no idea that it would take this long and every time i look at it i find some thing else i want to change but i am at the point where i just want to drive it
