how much did you give for it? just curious what summat like this goes for?
am loving the "easy reach" brake fluid reservoirs
and lordy lordy - a centre exit exhaust

Although to be fair i reckon you could have seen them from the moon lol Simon + Andy - I may turbo it but i think it may ruin the driveability and certainly won't sound as good as turbo'd engines sound shite imo!
Rob - The mk1 was sold within an hour of me advertising it on here mate sorry!
Matt - I am not keen on the centre exit either and may well change it to something more stock looking but its not top of the priority list at the moment and certainly won't be hitting any speed bumps tucked up there in its own little tunnel! Price wise half what the Gartrac cost me and twice the car

It was built for sprints and yes is geared totally wrong for anything but 0-60's at the mo

If ya interested, I have a 3:77 (approx) rear CWP to raise the ratios a bit, straight out of my old Gartrac Atlas, perfect condition, Ł50, It's been sat in my mates garage for over a year now, but I'm sure it's still there, (If not I want Ł50 of him!) Although I found the 4:6 an awesome ratio, didn't drive it on the road much though.
PM me if ya intersted Spadge.
