I don't know the spec and I don't know the car, but that is immaterial. It is still a used Dax. If there are really people out there who will spend close to £80k on a "recreation" (ie kit car) then...

But it's your own fault. Your excessive CO2 emissions are causing global warming, making it rain more, which means you can't go out and cause more global warming! Mother nature is a clever b*tch!;)

At the risk of sounding like a troll (which I am not); at that price; maybe 2055?

Sorry I couldn't help it! Seriously? 48k for a Dax?

I'm off now.

How can I tell a MK1 from a 2 from a 3 by looking at a built car? I'm assuming the seller will not have built the car and may not know.

Cheers. That would seem OK then, as I will not get more than circa 200hp out of a 3.5 without spending so much money as to make it unviable and potentially unreliable.

Let's assume it hasn't.

Hi,

I am considering buying a sierra based Sumo with RV8. What sort of power can the Sumo chassis/ Sierra running gear take safely? I am planning to re-build/ re-bore the lump to give as much as...

I checked on a better gov page. One says just "PILGRIM", the other says "PILGRIM CARS LTD"?!!

Thanks I checked. It has little information but says just "PILGRIM". I checked another that is for sale at more money and that says "PILGRIM COBRA". No mention of Sumo on either.

I don't know about the V5, but it is not on a Q plate. I presume the reg is from the donor, as it is a K reg, so donor 1991/2. I presume most Sumos are Sierra based? It's actually up for less than...

Hi,

I've seen a Sumo with RV8 for sale which, on the face of it seems very cheap. £17k and it seems to have all the right bits; painted, Image wheels, good interior.

Does this seem cheap? I...

If I go down the re-manufactured route, then it really should be a Ford, shouldn't it? Then I would want as close to 427 cu" as possible, which I'm presuming will be a big block?

I would have to...

Hi,

Is anyone going to this? If so could you tell me what your car is so I can say hello and pick everyone's brains?

Thanks

So how much did you save going down this route against buying it here?

I definitely couldn't build an engine! I am of the mind, rightly or wrongly, that a modern (LS3) engine should be A. reliable B. have longevity with ever changing emissions regulations.

I think I...

Does anyone know of a way to 'personally' import new engines? It seems that by the time you buy an engine/ gearbox here, it has more than doubled in cost, as they are relatively cheap in the US. I...

So,

following on from my threads regarding my lack of prowess in all things car related and having come to the conclusion that I will need about £500 for tools that I don't currently possess. I...

That tile adhesive was squirted on with a mastic gun!:eek: It could even be gripfill/mastic/silicone. If it is then the adhesive doesn't adhere to the tiles, just the wall. It's for reasons like that...

I have lots of metric and imperial taps and dies which I inherited from my dad. Not going for a compressor.

AK will probably be the one for me as yes they are very local and seem like genuinely...

Yes, good shout. I have never had one and often think it would be a valuable tool generally.

Good advice thanks.

I think I just need to go for it and stop worrying.

Wow thanks! That makes a lot of sense. I think thanks to you I'm ready to take on the build now.

I'm definitely going down the turbo encabulator route. Will it work with my 1500 Lada 1 1/2 valve...

This is the house I built!

Wouldn't give it house room!
