I don't think the build is that old either. I think I remember it appearing on PAW's Facebook page.

Edit - Yup January

That makes sense, I suppose if I payed £35 per hour for the amount of hours I put in I would have spent £30k too!!

personal opinion i suppose?
It depends on what you want to do an how deep your pockets are. For instance to replicate my latest upgrades (which produces a tickle more power than this car) with new parts you would need ~£15K (I did not spend that :lol: ). So going by that this car is cheap, but still needs some more bits IMO.

You must really love Ludes to buy one for 9 grand, hence why Dino broke his car.
Get this, I have spent just £30.25 short of what this guy is asking for my pile of bits, and that includes some serious bargains :| I still need more bits, and then I need to give PAW more money than I care to think about to make it all work as it should. So in my eyes, this is still a bargain at that price... Because... It's what I want ;-)

^^ Nice :lol: If we a are comparing numbers I spent just over half of what this guy is asking but we have to install it ourselves.

I am in no doubt that this car for sale is worth the money, but it is a lot of money for a Lude. Although what other car for that money will be that quick and be FWD and NA?

We should ask Dino what he would have liked for his car if he'd sold it whole, but even then, most of the work had been carried out prior to his ownership even.

Guys, I think its time you take a look at the dark side, these H22's sound expensive to get any serious power. If I sold my car as is for 8.5k I would be breaking even, of course I haven't spent much on anything else apart from the engine.

Probably more than that as Dino's had all the gearbox work done to it as well.

Mudgey - The dark side? is that K20 or boost?

Both :twisted:

Its cheaper than you guys think but I wouldn't say its worth the effort just for a stock N/A k20, you wouldnt notice a huge difference in power delivery.

Nice car, nice spec. Hey may be asking a bit much for it though.
However if thats what he feels its worth then best of luck with the sale.
I was offered 7.5k for mine and seriosly considered it.
However, in parts it was worth more.
