wouldn't touch it with strombas dick. The amount of trouble that things had! Performance wise its gonna be good down the strip but round a track im sure the bannana isn't gonna be far behind.

well it certainly beats paying for a turbo conversion...I think it would stretch my funds a bit much at 6.5k...but if the price were to come down a touch .....

Go on buy it you know you want to Martin.

Nicks had problems with the cars but as far as I can tell its down to having a poweful turbo engine which causes the probemls ie wires comming loose and gearbox breaking. If your thinking about turboing your car you'll have the same trouble.

Looks nice, but I'm not really a fan of turbo FWD cars. Stick with normally aspirated power for track work.

will spend more time in bits than running imo! a nice example and i bet it's a fun car but just would be so unreliable!

dont forget nicks after £8/9k. 6.5k is just a bare minimum!.

What mileage is the engine on?

When i saw it the car was in a mint state. I did quite like it. Colour is nice. Unfortunatley its just too chavvy for my taste.

I remember watching this car being transformed in the body shop, I remember the first time she arrived on my drive the sound the looks.

One car i would just love to own, yes she has had problems but so does every car on the road, and i for one wish Nick every sucess with the sale.

and i hope she goes to someone who knows what they are doing.

What would you do to it though if you accuire it??

I would remove wing mirrors-replace to standard
replace wheels to williams
set to standard ride height+willy track
replace lights to standard
remove side skirts
and petrol cap..

a tempting venture would be to maxi it.

Id remove the Wing Mirrors for starters, As for wheels dunno as cant change size due to breaks that ar eon the car.

IIRC the handling is spot on but would change to willy track if not.

Apart from that I would change the seats as well, they have just never appealed to me and pref Sidewinders even though this would add weight.
