Just a quick shot of my tomcat engine

 

nice, whats been done to it?

my mate had one back in the day, it was quick up till you get into 5th then just didn't pull anymore. Sounded lovely though

any pics of the car? must be getting rare beasts now

 

I always liked the look of the tomcats and that's a good looking engine bay.
Got any pics of the rest of the car.

 

I thought you had a mini.

 

Love the 220/coupe turbos we messed around with a lot of them, such sleepers, shame they don't like the boost lol

 

I had one with mild tweeks by moto build, went alright but even with unrated bushes the torque steer was terrible and the handling as pretty poor as were the brakes. Very cutting edge looks for the time, nice seats, t bar roof and didn't weigh much.

 

You know me glen lol

 

Mine loves it lol pulls like a train

 

 

 

 

 

I should say, they like boost, but the standard ecu,pistons,rods,turbo,intercooler ain't to keen on much more than 16/18 psi
Me on the other hand loved it

 

It's got a bigger turbo and front mounted intercooler had full rebuild, polished crank, but don't think it has forged pistons, I'm running her in so she's boosting on 10 psi at the mo

 

Looks a nice car matey

 

I like it mate has a sleeper look about it even though it has big wheels lol

 

What's it got a t28?
I would love to find another 220 gti/gsi turbo

 

Looks good Clint!

 

Cheers glen, it's a real handful

 

Cheers pal

 

I think so it's a roller turbo, I've not looked through all the receipts yet

 

Nice that, friend of mine has one of these, it's not a turbo though. He's spent loads on it and it just sits in the garage unused, it only comes out once a year for its MOT!

 

This was the same sat in his unit since last year, until I asked what he was doing with it, they have got to be used tbh surprise a few modern cars aswell

 

1st 150mph car I drove

 

Yeah this one's good for 150 plus, need someone to reset my electronic boost controller, get the bhp up a bit currently running on std boost 10 psi

 

Would these of been cossie slayers back in the day then?

 

I'm not really sure tbh, cossies are rapid aswell, it would certainly have a good go lol, depends on the driver aswell

 

no, a standard one against a standard cossie would be fairly even i had a 620ti with a few mods was a pretty quick car but didnt handle very well i found the steering to be very twitchy and the brakes were no good at all

 

The steering tbf is a bit of a bitch, you gotta grip on, brakes are usually wank, but he's got cross drilled discs all round and brakes alot better than std ones even the hand brakes gd lol and I'd have to agree, around even on power std

 

My new sticker lol

 

i personally think the tomcat is best looking car rover made. I had a 3 year old 216coupe back in the day and loved it. I got offered a swap for my dream car and went for it

 

I prefer the one in your avatar

 

What the manta, it was a good car , like them both tbh, unfortunately, crashed the manta last year lol love the tomcats, and this is a quick car real head Turner

 

i think he was referring to my 2000e over the integrale clint.

 

I've always liked the look of a Tomcat.

 

Ha ha ok lol fair enough

 

 

Decided to spray wheels black

 

 

That's lovely.
