[Evogone]

From the pink rally car, selling at i have purchased an APD built ITB engine...

History

Engine was a brand new Spyder cup car race engine (Megane 714 bottom end & Williams head), donated by Renault to Andrew Frankel who was the editor of Autocar Magazine (previous owner of the car). These base engines make 175bhp.

Since i have had its been excellent never missed a beat (apart from TPS switch which was replaced) and covered about 1k miles (engine done about 3/4k max total miles). I have just has the head rebuild by the guys who run the car (top blokes and run S1600 cars so know what there doing) and has done one event where the car came 7th O/A and 2nd in the 2 ltr class :-
