The engine is cracking.

Finding a good one isn't easy and they are a little more tail happy than the 8 valver due to the rear suspension geometry being slightly different to accomodate the rear disc brakes. Digital dashboard looks a little dated and tacky but also kinda retro cool at the same time. Rear arches rot out and wheel choice is critical due to the funny offset.

My bro had an 8 valver while we were rebuilding his FRST and it was in all fairness an ok little car.
