Nice to see the SX Minor is still going!

Is that the SWB Quattro that has just been on the front of some mag perchance?

I'm crap at finding the links after I have forgotten about them, but there was a mental R34 Skyline build which was pretty much a blank cheque commission build where the guy (UK resident) shipped the car to New Zealand to have all the mods done.

I did read it got crashed at a UK event recently.

When you see all the fabrication in some of these builds, it makes the Vauxhall scene look pretty tame.

The SWB Audi is impressive, the laddo lives a few mile away from me, keep meaning to go and have a look at it.
Think hes hoping for about 700bhp or summet daft, will be a beast when its done.

Was it the one where it was cheaper to ship the entire car out to the engine builders in NZ than it was to have the motor rebuilt in the UK mate?
It was built at RIPS if it's the same one. Cool thread!

I recognise the lad in the SWB Audi thread. He used to be a couple of years older than me at school and drove a cool Mk2 Golf GTi rep (iirc) when he was in 6th form. Had no idea he was building that monster now! :eek:

What a small world.
