its still sat at Martoons waiting for its death to be decided.

several options i believe had come up for it to go out in style, but when Martin tried to follow up these options the people who had offered to make it happen didnt come thru with the promises.

something does need to be done to it tho, in true destruction mode!!

I think Martin should enter the car into bangers one weekend and get it someone to record it.

As Kelv said, the guys who promised to drop it from a Chinook into a quarey, drive over it with a tank or blow it up with a tank all failed to come up with the goods!!

Any ideas??

I s'pose it would depend if anyone knew anyone who could arrange it, but if the Army, or even better the RAF could use it for target practice...........

well, not all meets the eye....its a wolf in sheeps clothing....it running 160bhp..

2L bottom end bored out 2 a 2.1

port and polished gas flowed head

1.8 115bhp cams (keeps a better low down torque range)

2L throttle body - polished, reprofiled and butterfly knife edged.

uprated fuel rail pump an injectors

den all of dis running off an omex ecu

so yes i think it is appropirate for the rs badges.

dis is y its got the original rocker on so no 1 no's its a 2 l underneath


A TRUE STREET SLEEPER

I've done loads to my glsi, by his thinking it is appropriate to put cosworth badges on it

Please don't tell me the bonnet lifters had to be installed due to the induction piping sitting too proud to be able to close the bonnet properly

I'm going to go find this thread now...

I like the idea of giving it death by giving it to top gear & let them killing it like they did with the hilux

Still cant believe this is still around, the kid who got it sprayed like that lives near me, Coastal Car Services painted it, was shit then aswell

The reason for putting ' undecided ' if i remember righty is because he didnt no if to put reyland or respol (what ever the rally car had) so put undecided instead. What a tool

He's now saying it's got an RS2000 bottom end..... on a Zetec head. Hmmm...

Looks like it's turning into one of those threads, lol
