Default Been a long road, started in 1991 and now she's finished

This was when I bought it in 1991 (Under two years old)



First came the Magnex Exhaust



Then came the Koni Susupension with Ahmed Springs and AP 4 Pot brakes and 335mm Discs and Hockenhiem 8 x 17's





Then the stage 3 engine with a T34



Then came the Quaife Diff



And the Karl Norris 428bhp (Proven) Engine fitted with an Alcon 6 Plate Clutch Assembly, Group A Fuel Pump, Coil, Breather System and a whole load more goodies to keep it reliable





And then a visit to Pro Alloy for this little lot



And final a number plate that allows the air vent in the bumper to actually allow in some air







AND NOW....IT'S FINISHED. NO MORE, NOTHING ELSE, IT'S DONE .....

The condition must be great after being in good hands all these years. Instead of having lots of previous owners that had to test the car to see how fast it is etc.

Hockenheim rims are timeless

SAFFI : The turbo is actuall a T38, and when Karl mapped it, we maxed out the Grey Injectors.... If I were to fit 1000cc injectors it would definately make 450bhp, but I'm totally happy with it as it is now. It's spent most of it's life sat in storage as until a few months back I was working and living in the USA. So only 49,000 miles from new.

Injectors would be the only other mod I'd make and upgrade the ECU....but it is FINISHED NOW.

Stunning Jim, probably the most original Saph i've ever seen! Can't believe you've had the car 15 years now!

Dare I say it, it's perfect as it is! Reckon a ZOO rear beam would suit it down the ground though for a road car!

Superb effort!
