Info:
After getting totally ripped off with the new engine build of the XUD, I lost heart and stripped the XUD Track Car of all it’s got faster bits and bolted them to a 62,000 mile factory fresh GTi-6. I sold the XUD engine bits to various people to live on…

The aim with the GTi-6 track car is to run it as it is for this year, a 200-220hp naturally aspirated track car, whilst I save the money and build a 500hp capable Supercharged (or perhaps turbocharged) motor for next years show/track season.

The car itself handles brilliantly, is plenty quick enough for current track use but knowing I’ll get bored there’s an engine on the stand in the garage waiting for it’s new uprated internals….

1 question before i vote.

Is Dan's dimma the finished & ruuning artical now or is it still being built?

[4WayDiablo]

Dum dum has said we can enter a car we no longer even own.. So who knows
The turbo build is the new one but dunno if its finished. Burk isn't much of a regular on here

[puglove]

Stop yo bitchin phill! it clearly stated in post #1 Must currently be owned!!

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah it should be a currently owned car. I dont pay enough attention to know if he still owns it, I just take it on trust that people obey the rules.

[Birk]

I still own it guys, the progress has just been slow, I CBA to Finnish it.

[Dum-Dum]

Only a few days left now guys, keep the votes coming as its still all to play for.

[Jonny b]

I voted for hovis! Wouldhave voted for birk but its not finished and or running lol

[Dum-Dum]

I voted hovis too mate, interesting seing whos voted for who and whos voted for themselves.

[Jonny b]

Couldn't bring myself to vote for ed!! Imagine his adenoids if he won!! Plus his seats are the wrong colour, and he has a wobbly steering wheel lol

[ozonehostile]

Jp gets my vote simply because that gti embodies everything a weekend toy should be imo

[Dum-Dum]

I went for hovis on the basis that if all 5 were parked on the drive in front of me and i was told i could have the keys to one to keep it would be hovis car.

[Just Sean]

i picked jamma's for the same reason chris!

[Puggie]

Birk for me. the words turbo and dimma = win

[306GT30]

Wheres mine? hahahaha

[Ed Doe]

Couldn't bring myself to vote for ed!! Imagine his adenoids if he won!! Plus his seats are the wrong colour, and he has a wobbly steering wheel lol

FUUUUUU!!!

Wheres mine? hahahaha

On a flat-bed half-way back to my hou....... I mean... you didn't enter it?

[Dum-Dum]

Last day to vote ladies and gents.

Wheres mine? hahahaha

You didnt enter, which is a shame as youd probably of got plenty of votes.

[Dum-Dum]

So Birk has won. Well done mate. Ill have this months up before the end of the day.

[4WayDiablo]

Although I didn't vote for birk its still a very worthy winner

[Ed Doe]

^ I feel it's a bit much considering it's not turned a wheel in years and he doesn't have any drive to finish it... but yeah I spose it is a project car of the month, and the title Project does cover 'incomplete' 'long-term' and 'still in it's constituent parts'...

[Dum-Dum]

Title was tuning Ed and it is tuned. Pretty much everyone considers their car a work in progress but at varying stages.

[Jonny b]

Had mine 10 years and its still a project lol

[Birk]

I bet if 306gt30 had remembered to enter he would have won, but I suppose his is also still an unfinished project, a big no no aye lol

And I have got drive to Finnish it, I'm preoccupied in saving my money for a house, i must have my priorities in the wrong order lol

Definitely! You can live in your car but you can't race your house as the saying goes

[Dum-Dum]

You can live in your car but you can't race your house as the saying goes

This coming from a man who actually owns a house

[Birk]

It will get done, just not sure when. I have enough coin to finnish it off, but i dont know what type of house im getting yet and the ammount it will need spending on it, hence the reservation of money and lack of progress on zee dimma.
