lol @ keeping it original!

its a superceeded taxi!

if it was a TE or a TS yeah, keep it original,but a boring ol XR8 with 220kw (lol)?

it will be worth something in about 30 years time, maybe 20K if youre lucky?

do some mods, make it loud, shove 15 pound down its throat, preferably via twin turbo's, and enjoy the thing! you only live once, dont die wondering.

Send me the setup off your XC Mick & I'll let you know how it goes

Cough, cough, cough.

nah, you dont want bits off that "rusty" ol thing.... Antiques Roadshow wont want to do a feature if its not complete.

Stop looking for excuses, go find some cast exhaust manifolds and some Garrets, and start fabricating!

go on, off you go......

Okay then..... I'll do it. But only because you said so.

...and enjoy the thing!

Don’t park it/them up in the garage and buy an accord to drive around whatever you do. Hey Mickus.

yeah Tab, spot on!

cause you know, a 960hp XC makes a fuggen great daily driver...... bit heavy on juice though.

Nice work steve. Always liked the last of the Au's

Cheers Rob. Thank christ, another sensible moderator

When I looked at this topic I did a quick search on te/s t3's still pretty pricey

Yeah I know. 25-30 grand seems to be the norm. Really cant justify that sort of coin for a car at the moment.

Think I'll just jump into my 12k xr8 & drive off into the sunset
