Lol Steve
it's a lot nice than my last one and got around 80-90bhp more
it's running hybrid turbo, tubular mani, pd exhaust. It's just turned 70k and has a fair bit of history with and the interior is mint
it has a few stone chips on the front but mystery is going to paint th front end and sort them out

you can get away with that as you have a mk2, but I have banned all mk1 frs from parking next to each other on clubs stands

I think this is better than the escos, the escos just seemed a bit too messed around with and unknown. Hopefully you don't get anymore speeding fines with this one with more power.
Looks good......except for the bonnet pins which are not in the best place

A lad on the rsoc has offered me a swap for his standard bonnet as he was about to put these pins in his bonnet. Hopefully going to meet him Monday

I'm not a fan of the seats. Being not that big I tend to slide about on them and I think that's the reason the seats in my old car went quite bad. Once I've had the front end painted I plan to fit a pair of cobra Suzuka buckets and quite handily you can get them like this

I was told they aren't even sparco's!! :0
Apparently they are ford seats with sparco written on them. Also never fit harness's to the standard seats as if you remove the material off them you would see that the top section what the belts would go through are actually head rests slotted into the top of the seats!
