Default EVO written off, Its Replacement gonna be a fun summer

As some may know my Evo came to a crashing end at the beginning of December 08, not wanting to go into much detail but i wasn't driving a good friend of mine was he overtook someone and the car went very sideways into a sandstone wall head-on

And with him being only 3rd party cover on his own insurance i couldn't claim

To say i was gutted is an understatement but we agreeded a settlement price and he is paying me out for the car

Here are some Pictures from the day after what can't be seen is the bent chassis legs and both airbags gone off (and yes it did hurt) and loads of other knacked parts

So while spending the last 6-7 weeks looking for a replacement i couldn't find 1 worth traveling for or at a sensible price especially with prices of them going through the floor ATM.

With me always wanting a Kit Car i had a little look around and wanting a C20XE power westfield, but with them fetching 8k + & not wanting a Q plated home built car
I came across this pretty local too me so went and had a look and a lal drive, agreeded a price and i'm collect it this weekend

Really Can't wait and now i can plan to do some track days this year and it isn't going to cost me the earth

If anyone has any info or specs on Turboing the ZX9R engine please let me know as i've sourced a 2nd engine to rebuild and play with over summer


SPEC:

2003 STUART TAYLOR MOTORSPORT 7 ZX9R E!
FACTORY BUILT IN 2003/ 53 PLATE (NOT NASTY Q PLATE) IRS MODEL.
SPEC;
14" MINILITES WITH YOKOS.
CARBONMODS AEROSCREEN.
SPA DIGITAL SPEEDO WITH BUILT IN REV COUNTER,MILEOMETER,0-60 TIMER,STANDING 1/4 MILE TIMER.
AVO ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION ALL ROUND.DISCS ALL ROUND.FIBREGLASS LIGHTWEIGHT SEATS WITH WILLANS HARNESSES
MOUNTNEY SPORTS STEERING WHEEL,
SIERRA LSD DIFF,
ZX9R RACE BIKE ENGINE (160 BHP) AND 6 SPEED BOX.470KGS

well yeah thats why they are my mates, i was in the car at the time of the accident.

Sometimes i like being driven in my own car or sharing the driving if going somewhere i find it gets boring driving your own car all the time

matt was shocked to read this ,you must be gutted .at least no one got hurt which is always the main thing and glad to see your mate has done the decent thing ,its when things like this happen you realise who your real mates are .your new car looks like fun so best of luck with it matt.
ps im slowly gathering the parts to rebuild the white saff,just got a autronic ecu and loom ,2wd xhaust manifold and a swedish inlet ,i hope to get her as close to the 500bhp as possible.

cheers for now matt.

Well i went and picked car up tonight as it was only day i could get it till next week so just had a wonderful 50 mile drive in the rain & snow.
