    if it doesn't get sold soon i'd guess it'll just do what the usual Calder's demo cars do - get transported to every show and either get abused on track (like the old skyline and supra, the new 9 sec supra and the old mrs2 turbo and teg turbo) or get trailered everywhere and just shown off like they did all the work, like the blue wide arch supra.

    for the record i can't say i've heard anything good about Calders, the 1 guy i knew that backed them up now doesn't after something suspect happened to the car after it had just been serviced by them. also noted from the classified ads that last year's demo cars (fto and teg turbos, big power R33 GTR and Supra) magically dropped in power between adverts with the exact same parts on them (i.e. in their full page mag adverts for "CRD" the skyline and supra were both 1000+Bhp, flick a few pages forward to the classifieds and these 2 cars now magically had "just" 700bhp)

    just my tuppence, going on other's experiences.

    Yeh lots of people who know about calder dont seem to rate them very well.
    Shame
    I think just too many people in the clubs up here who have got calder cars have had big problems

    Cars looks lovely though ) Quite fancy poppin over to c it as well.

    Im sure it will be racing very soon though

    After reading about this car I have to say,it came over here with around 450hp and once it was bought from Calder it was put on the dyno and was much lower so ended up getting a full bottom end rebuild by RB motors,but the head was kept the same apart from a few new valves

    This is how it looks now

    Not to everyones taste but i love it...

    Does anyone know the full spec of the car, they won't tell me until it docks.
