i was told that a cheaper way to own a ferrai is to buy a toyota mr2 chassis and get a ferrai f355 body.... does this work??

Yea a company produced the kit a while ago, but because of such similar looks ferrari sued them and put that company out of business.

However, i've noticed a few firms making/selling that kit again lately.

i've seen that kit too, BUT, its ?2000 and an MR2 is what... ?6000 for a decent one, so why not buy a 355!!

theres a 355 (funnily enuf!) at a small garage up our way calles Scottish Classic motors going for ?28k!

Red (obviously!) and minted - high mileage tho but hey like ferris beuler did - just jack it up n stick it in reverse!

id rather by a skyline or summet or an alfa romeo i reckon they wud be more reliable cos i mean italien dont exactly make the best reliable cars, my mate has a fiat panda(i know its pretty shit) its had the stupidest of parts broken and took fookin ages to get them for that model, all his badges just fell off for one thing and the other day half the windcreen popped thru went he was on the motorway. but at least if u get a toyota is japanese (i think not sure) believe it or not the japs make gud stuff and its a lot cheaper.0X

novaexplod, you are quite the retard arent you?

So what country of origin would an Alfa Romeo be then, if its isnt Italian. I would hate to piss on your chips matey but Alfa's have never been known for their reliability.


but at least if u get a toyota is japanese (i think not sure) believe it or not the japs make gud stuff and its a lot cheaper.

Duuuuhhh YES Toyota is Japanese - My oh My you are a clever one! The Japanese do make good cars, but your even thicker than your previous posts suggest if you think they are cheap to own, run or modify.

Let just put it this way a Dump Valve for a Supra costs more than a reconditioned engine for a Nova.

Servicing is a pain as the engines are so crammed into the engine bay there is little room for working, where as you could home a small Romanian family in the engine bay of a Nova.

Parts have to come from Japan and only until recently have become more obtainable with the help of decent import tuners and garages.

All of these factors means that owning a japanese car is neither cheap or easy.

Me thinks you should go and read a book. God forbid you might learn somthing.

As for putting a 355 body kit on a MR2 - Retarded, bit like modifying a Nova !

well excuse me mr bull s h i t, i was rather pissed wen i wrote this article and yes i admit i chatted quite a bit of shit i didnt even mean to put alfa romeo ( f u c k knows y i did). ur new on here i take it, so f u c k u. and i think i know about jap parts cos my dad works for honda and they come in to england next day delivery with cheap cost and they are reliable so kiss my ass.and who gives a fuck if i cudnt remember that toyota was japanese...i dont giva fuuuck. :fist: oh yeh and how is puttin a ferrai kit on a toyota retarded...dont know where u came up with that theory..it wud look better than ur car any time. :fist: doubt im retarded either considering i engineer car parts to a fuckin tight tolerance 5 days a week. and i say u were the only person who replied that give me shit and ur new to this site...so there u have. 0X

Novaexplod, you were obviously pissed again when you typed your reply, what?s more likely is that you are in fact 14 and think magic tree air freshener?s give your Nova BHP.

I would just like to also correct you when you said you chatted a bit of shit, if your re-read your post then its clear you chatted a lot of shit and frankly I would question if you knew your arse from your elbow.

Just because I am new I don?t see that?s a reason for a ?f u c k u?. Just to let you know you know, U is actually spelt YOU.

Wow Wee your dad works for Honda, that must make you exceedingly well informed about all things Japanese. Does your dad really work for Honda or did he just stand near a Honda in a car park once.

IF you knew the slightest thing about Honda?s or their parts supply then you would realize that the majority of all Honda?s are now built in the UK. Honda actually exports back to Japan. So it?s not beyond the wit of man to expect a part for a Honda to be delivered anywhere in the UK by the next day. This incredible feat is carried out by an amazing invention called the POST.

Now just to make you look like even more of a penis than you already are, I will state the obvious.

If you were implying that Honda parts are shipped from Japan to the UK for next day delivery then you are seriously mistaken. Japan is more than 10 hours behind us ? at the time of writing 10.03pm GMT the time in Japan is 6.02am. You do the maths idiot boy. Just incase you dont want to fry your last remaining braincell i will explain in basic terms. By the time the japanese wake up and go to work its already going to be the next day, then there is a small factor of having to transport a headlamp bulb to england more than 10 hours away. Unless Honda have mastered time travel you wont be getting it. I cant see Honda flying parts out on the cuff to the UK just because somone wants a new brake light.

To pick you up on another point, when was the last time you bought a Honda car part? If you have ever had the misfortune you would know they certainly aren?t cheap.

The parts may be reliable, but then retard that was never under discussion, generally all Japanese cars are reliable and the car parts are made to extremely high tolerances.

For example a stock Civic 1.6 DOHC VTEC gear box is good for up to 400 BHP.

I would rather not kiss your ass, judging by you general level of intelligence you wouldn?t even know how to wipe it.

Putting a Ferrari kit on a MR2 is retarded, because a MR2 is a great looking car and doesn?t need to look like a Ferrari to look good. It seems a bit sad to make a car up to be something its not.

For example Cosworth replicas that are 1.4 escorts underneath, etc.

At then end of the day its something that?s its not, anyone with half a brain cell would be able to tell the two apart. The fact that the MR2 isn?t as wide as the 355, and a 355 doesn?t have the typical Japanese plastic interior, and other glaring aspects that I cant even be bother to list.

That?s how I came up with that theory, CHUMP.

However I expect you drive some shit pile Nova 1.2 Antibes with a Peco BB4 and tri spokes, so explaining the finer points of cars and styling are most likely to be wasted. You probably have some Gsi badges on the back of your car and wonder whether it?s possible to fit a dump valve to a normally aspirated car.

I severely think you are retarded; either that or your village is missing their idiot. Even if you are an engineer, that doesn?t make you intelligent so why don?t you keep you?re retarded grunting to your self.

As the saying goes everyone is a manager or an engineer these days.

The new politically correct title for a caretaker is an estate management consultant (or some such), if that?s the case you must be the tea boy in a factory.

Milk and 2 sugars please.


doubt im retarded either considering i engineer car parts to a fcuk tight tolerance 5 days a week. and i say u were the only person who replied that give me s**t and ur new to this site...so there u have.

You say your not retarded, whats really clear is that you certainly cant write. Learn to string a sentence together.

Kind regards

The Kit's for the MR2 were made by a company call ISH.

TBH to a true ferrari fan (like me) the mr2 replicas are easy to spot. They are too short fom the door back to be a ferrari.

However at donny this year there was a pontiac fiero based lookalike and it had me convinced. Didn't help that he'd put cream leather with red piping and a true ferrari steering wheel inside.

It was such a good replica i was annoyed when i worked out it wasn't real and i had been conned.

the back end looks very similiar to a 355 but the front looks nothing like on imo. also the sound gives it totally away.

Thats my view about driving a Nova, in fact i would rather get bum raped by a whole american football team than be seen driving such automotive excrement. Just IMHO of course ;-)

so you have subscribed to a nova site and hate nova's... yeah - i see you logic. 8)

As for the statement about Honda and stuff... Honda have a bloody dirty great factory in northern wales - so it wouldn't take them very long to get the parts into the country at an affordable cost would it mate? They could send them through the bloody post if they had to. :D
