Cheers Kev, don't worry there are a couple of extra numbers that I've removed but I do still like the reg. Making sure you have an invoice that says NEW chassis goes a long way to getting you an age related plate. Had a couple of blasts in it, used about a 1/4 of a tank. Scared the missus, got told off, scared my best mate who was trying to look cool in a fluffy hat and just waiting to take the kids out.

First off the speedo wasn't working and my sunnies and hat where trying to go AWOL and during the initial first 10 minutes the engine was struggling to rev past 5000rpm, then it had a bit of a episode, I just kept driving it returned home, sorted the speedo and then went back out. Stopped in a car park and rev the bollocks off of it. and then it seemed to sort itself. Might change the fuel filter just incase but it seems ok now. It's great on the twisty stuff keeping it in 2nd and 3rd above 4500rpm, runs out of puff on the straights though so I think I will fit this 1.8 engine sooner rather than later.

Since I've had nothing better to do I've spent the last 5 weeks doing this!


Will fit a lightened flywheel to it and a drilled sump (for the turbo)

So LSD and 1.8 is next on the cards, once the stripes and the wheel alignment are sorted.:
