Now that I've a tank of fuel through the car it's about time for a thread to keep track of wee bits and pieces that I do.
Had the itch for one of these for a long time, and glad I've finally got one. Had been to see a few but either suspect past or just not for me, then this one that had been in hursts for a while was reduced to a price where I couldn't say no.
Added bonus that it's a car that was local to me so had seen it about and I know the original owner so know it's been well looked after and not tracked or messed with(yet )
Has taken a few back road blasts to really appreciate what these wee cars are capable of, just so much fun! Can't wait to try it on track, plus euro road trip coming up so will get it round the Ring and up and down an few mountain passes.
Already done the lower torque mount, mirror riser, carbon front flaps and eventuri intake, only other things I want to do is an Akrapovic exhaust if I can find one with discount, and either change the wheels or paint the OEM wheels bronze as black wheels aren't for me. Probably get brake pads, lines and fluid at some point as well.
Suspension wise yes it would look better lower, but it's perfect height for battering over the hills and doing wee jumps lol. Will see how it is on track before I decide on that.
Few photos from a blast out today and other bits and pieces
