Bought this little beaut for £900. 12 mths mot. put 6 mths tax on it. Going to have a runaround in it and see how far I want to take the car in terms of fixing her up.

Didn't realise how fast these things are. Kicked my bro's 172's rear end

ive been thinking of buying one all summer - had one about 12 years ago - was great but expensive! mine was white too! they are quick but for it to whip a 172 it must be modded a bit - mine had about 160bhp and was nuts!

Still is Stevie. Actually quite shocked in how quick it is. Hopefully I can get it as clean as your r26..... Well nearly as.

It's completely standard mate. These cars only weigh around 850 kg up to about 80 it will have the edge in my brothers 172.

Nice Car cut my teeth on these lol!
On the boost gauge each line is =100mb of boost!
Standard Car boost's 550-600mb and is safe to take upto 750mb by shortening the rod!

Thats a summer car, not a winter one, it'll have rotted through with WLC salt by next year ;) Also your bros 172 is a slow one ;) Do love GTTs, proper old skool cool

More than likely will rot haha. Yeah stevo got a fright when I pulled away from him in this. I've heard you have a nice 172 and yor 5dr 225 is pretty sweet

Hows this going now? Need updates!

Yeah got a flamer which I can wait to get back on the road in April. Like the 225 as well but Im ****ed off with it today as it dropped the pass window earlier. Thankfully came back up a hour later when I got to it but I'll be stripping that door down and sorting it I guess!
