landmaxdriver Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 damn right, very very light weight and a great engine once the issues are sorted. still much more advanced engines that a lot of others on the market today! is yours a 84hp or 101hp version? I've done the head, water pump and cambelt on mine so I should be good for a while Mine is the 84hp one but I'm very tempted to get the larger de-restricted throttle body and throttle cable which takes it up to 101hp Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 lil pichur from the other day as for updates, I'm removing the grey trims from the interior in favour of a full rover walnut treatment, and possibly losing the stickerbombing. its starting to peel off on the drivers side unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prussian.guard Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Don't stick walnut in it you'll be wearing slippers next.carbon wrap it or colour code it to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Wheel Spacers + Black wheels would look awesome TBH, I had one of these when I was 16 (Yes, I know, Tut tut, young and stupid, driving no license etc) It was a 2.0 Diesel Saloon in Blue, but pretty high spec. Used to drive around every where. Such a nice car to drive, my mates used to call it the Sponge Loadsa room in the back too, if you know what I mean ID stick to one other colour (Red/White or Red/Black) as opposed to 2, but great first whip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 the black spoiler is now gone in favour of whats known as a "tea tray" wood interior parts purchased today, waiting for a few more bits in the post. rear seats to go back in and some banded steel wheels are on the wish list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Why wood? Surely a lad of your age should be doing everything to get away from the wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaaay Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I guess he just likes wood. Looks weird without the black spoiler again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 I sure do love my wood.... I like the idea of making it look more upmarket on the inside I guess, may also swap out the current seats for full black leather ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
