    Rally prepped, stage 7 blah blah blah

    Really???

    Two grands worth of budget wheels and what's up with that dashboard?

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHOW-CONDI...item2a2cd183b2

    Personally, I'd love to see what a forged boost hose looks like.

    Wonder what turbo this stage 7 engined rally weapon uses.....

    Stage 3: "what the *%}k just happened" 30 psi just saw the end of a liner

    Stage 4: "dispair" why the hell did I do this?

    Stage 5: "embarrassment" the fiesta owner drives past with his mates laughing at you and your rally prepped halfords special

    Stage 6: "ouch" you've just had to fork out for some nugget who knows nothing about cars and swears that he owned a super chipped 5 back in the day to rebuild your engine. On the cheap of course.

    Stage 7: "fear" you're scared to even drive the damned thing now so it's probably time that you create a bull**** eBay listing for the heap and hope some pre-pubesant gets stiff at the thought of buying your "rally prepped weapon"

    After all, even Jean Ragnotti would kill for a go in it.

    There is such a thing as a 'boost bottle' as it goes, albeit more so used on carb'd scooters & the such like.

    Wait, are we saying my fully forged wiper set up hasn't added 30% more BHP's?

    The car actually looks pretty good in the photos

    I wondered that when I saw the dashboard. I think markey mark had worked on it previously before it got pinched and a load of bits removed

    Re: Rally prepped, stage 7 blah blah blah

    To be fair the handle recesses have been completely removed and filled and he says they work on door poppers - can see that in the pics

    Doesnt seem as bad as you lot are making out - so he has said a few things that he obviously knows little about but dont think it warrants a slating, looks a nice car in my opinion!

    I think it looks really nice but what did he make the dash out of..................... Cardboard boxes?

    But good news, he's withdrawn the right to withdraw from auction!

    Re: Rally prepped, stage 7 blah blah blah

    Dash has been made out of very thin MDF, poorly flocked

    Cage welding is very poor, some sections not welded all the way round so pretty hopeless in a crash.
    I'm not purposely slating car because I hate it or its owner I just think its fair for people to know what the car is and had done to it

    I know the previous owner of the car and what her ex bf done to it, he should be shot for the poor workmanship and mistakes he did to it

    If anyone decides to purchase it all I will say is just have good look round it, have heard few stories of its past after my friend sold it on
