@machone7I lol, i thought so too but the names didn't sound right. they went to Bruntinthorpe in Leicestershire. that's Fifth Gear's test track. Top Gear's test track is in Dunsfold in Surrey.
so the customer gets a "new" car thats basically an old chassis with loads of sheet metal and filler thrown on and a clapped out 150,000+mile engine and drivetrain i bet the interior is made exclusively from stuff u can get from halfords wow super car indeed
I would bet a miliion dollars that 20 year old motor is going to leak like hell with the addition of the supercharger with the old gaskets, etc! Stupid Stupid Stupid!
daumasses dude u guys mod da cars n u dnt no nothin about rebuldin da engine on a old car wen u doin a supercharger atleast i would do tht common sense old engine meets superchargen ther goes da head gaskit hahah
They obviously left the stock exhaust on for emissions and noise level, remember these cars have to be SVA tested in the uk...modifiying the exhaust etc is something for the owner to do...the gaskets...even the shop should of suggested replacing them while fitting the supercharger lool
@MrSharpe95 the 928 is block made of one piece, waht you said is idiotic. its true that the porsche 924 has a vw van engine, but the 944 has a random 4 cilinder, that has nothing to do with any v8.
yeah they are fucking insane, carrapers is what they are. 292hp is the most powerfull car they ever build. Wahahahahahaha 292 is nothing i had more powerfull cars @ the age of 20
@swansmeister OMG u are a stupid one arn't u? its break hourse power. BHP = the hp you get down on the ground, you could have an engine with 1000000000hp but its the fact that they got 292 Break Hourse Power out of a WV-engine.
I cant believe these goofs put a supercharger on the car and dont even upgrade some basic items...Like take the 20 year old gaskets and seals and replace them with new ones. They even have the old exhaust still on that lump of shit. I bet they didnt even change the oil and the filters.
Couldnt agree more! Complete amatuers is the phrase I would use. To strap a supercharger onto an old engine like that and screw shitloads of boost into it, well im suprised it lasted the dyno runs! and to fit a standard clutch and expect it to take the torque of that engine again, Amatuers! Why not start with the 944 turbo car that was actually a half decent car to begin with. I laughed when the bald guy (self proclaimed mechanic) picked up a sparkplug and didnt know what it was!!! hahahahahaha
@pinworms70 of course they did. filters and oil i mean. what makes you think that they wouldn't? these guys managed to put a subaru 4wd system to a golf!
@pinworms70 your right mate...why would the footballer go to this garage? and why did he not just buy a gT3 RS??..... there well funny though.. they need to watch edd china at work.. or even mark evans... ;)
With all those people...I don't understand why they didn't just rip the engine out and swap out the seals.
If they have a professional footballer paying for this, you make it top notch and don't cut corners.
They didn't even touch the suspension.
just dumb.

the engine in a 944 is not a vw unit. Its based on halh of the V8 in the 928.
