Good Points

Now cheap as chips to buy, and get loads of extra BHP just by improving the breathing of the engine. I got an extra 15bhp just by adding a Full stainless system, K&N and FSE valve (rolling road proven, not false claim).


Bad Points

The usual problems of rust will probably be the end of the car. Replacement panels are cheap enough tho.


General Comments

A fun little car to drive, which is fun to chuck around the twisty roads. Dont expect to beat many cars in it tho in standard form. Needs a couple of extra BHP to keep up with modern day equivalents. With the mods i had plus cam, head work, performance manifold and tailored chip to mods, might see around 150bhp.
