      So Drivetribe and Izzy have sold out to NAPA!? Again, another automotive aftermarket company claiming like other similar automotive companies that they supply OE like quality parts! Make no mistake they all sell the same type of cheaply sourced parts. The only important matter for these companies is making as much money as possible for their shareholders, nothing else matters,

      Let's be honest, nothing will ever match the OG Top Gear/Grand Tour group but, a proper extended format show featuring Izzy, Mike and Max would be pretty sweet! Maybe have Ben Collins as a special host/test driver and bring Richard and James in now and then. They could do kind of a Wheeler Dealers/Grand Tour mashup where they have to buy a junker, rebuild it and then set out on a road trip. I would watch.

      I'd imagine the handling, braking mods including complete refurbishment of linkages and bushes and new ancillary items, new lightweight wheels and quality tyres and cooling upgrades including plumbing among other things would make up a large percentage of the total costs plus labour ... then around 5 grand in actual power adders.

Just supercharger with a small pulley, water cooled intercooler, methanol injection, downpipes, exhaust, 200cell Cat, software and carbon intake box. With that power you will need also brakes and lsd and the torque steer is crazy 😂 you can even get 300bhp with another supercharger.
