very underestimated.

Very quick cars for the money.

Reek of old man inside

Have quite a few engine issues and drive shaft issues.

Bloke who sits next to me at work has one, says it's cheap fun but shreds front tyres as one would expect. Go for it

good cars for the money. just watch for TORSEN diff if people launch at full lock etc the can die.

12 psi + exhaust +filter should see genuine 200-220 BHP denending on ACT's and engine condition. They dont handle too well but can be improved upon. Datsun T28 as well as datsun interwarmer front mounted will be a vast improvement and cost pennies.

Well RST is 130bhp std and Rover is about 190bhp. So dont think there is much of a debate?
