Any crazy builds going on?

As above or has it all been done to death at this stage? Only two that spring to mind lately are Zisco's and Gee's. Links would be sweet if you know any.

I dont know what crazy is these days, the english seem to upgrade everything to 400hp spec and then break their cars before having them mapped.

plenty of fancy engine bays with shiney inlet manifolds and top mounted turbos about now days, many making good power? a handful.


When i think build i think someone taking something they own car and moulding it into something alittle nuts over a series of months/years, (high200s or 350 something in an EP is perfectly mental to me).

but builds now seem to be more and more some fella with a loan buying every part under the sun and taking lots of pictures, before pissing off to buy a ep3 type r.

Anyhow, i think jays hyper revs will qualify as a significant build if he gets the original greddy turbo kit back on there.

I completely agree with this, i do not understand why people pay £Thousands, get there GT/Glanza mapped and then within 2000-2500 miles they break the entire car and in some instances the shell gets scrapped!

Whats the point!? its a shame!

slowly collecting all the bits for my forged 5e build.

won;t be mental but would see 300bhp in a stripped out car and full cage.

should be fun :)

I never understand why people do this either. Spend 12k doing all the car up...then strip it and sell it. To many of the old well tuned EP's have gone to the scrappy which should be still on the road now.

I think its a case of they wanted to hand over money to some1 to do the work and get back a beast and it simply never happens that way!! its a process and alot of guys are left dissapointed! and simple try and cut der loses! which is a pity and a loss to the TGTT world! we love every1 and every GT no matter how mild or wild the build!
In my Mind they were never True TGTT fans/ Nutjobs in the first place! :)
it takes a certain crazyiness to stay in this community and to keep focused on making your Car / ride better! just ask any 1 from way back in the Day like Jay
13 years and counting and still the love is as strong and still i make changes even from Australia
Long live the 4E :)
