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,

It's kinda crazy how well she captures the spirit of her father's early TV presenting work. Literally just the early 2000s Richard Hammond, but with better hair.

[@pgiovanettijr]

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.

Uniclutch is very affordable in comparison to allot of competing multidiscs. It has an internal flywheel surface so you can bolt it up to any old flywheel and not have a new flywheel as an expense.

I think Izzy is doing great. There's so many things she could have chose to done, with all the support from Richard, and she's going this route. Even if she doesn't keep doing it, I think she's making a really nice effort.

44 for 25k, thats not great. You can get that sort of upgrade with a remap on most stock family cars without anything new at all. Its a great looking car but thats a lot of work for not much uplift

[@jasonwest1343]

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.

I think everyone should be reminded that Izzy was an English Major and all these mechanical stuff was never something she thought of as part I’d her career path. Her dad DID get her two great mentors in learning about these intensive stuff. Hammond should be proud of what she has become.

[@SilkyWayFPV]

I had the same car as my first one. Same engine, mine easily got 260bhp on the dyno and I didn’t do injectors. 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.
