Originally it was a 1.2 - but I believe it had a renault 5 gt turbo engine fitted into it.
The exhaust pipes weren't even the same.
I also think that it under went another paint job after the 'incredible hulk' abomination !
It was featured in 'Revs' or something like that (car mag which...
Driven by a girl. I was in my 'rents focus, so no point in waving.
Car looked really nice :) (didn't see the driver properly:( ) I do quite like the 197.
Just wondered it it's any one on here, did a bit of shopping in Colchester on Saturday afternoon & I saw it parked in the Gala multi storey car park.
Looks nice, K reg sports blue, with white illegal (french style) pressed number plates front & rear. Low as :)
It looks realy clean in the two pics posted up after the 'work in progress one' what was wrong with it apart from the arch ?
Looks like like it's coming along well, love to see the final result.
As sami says - don't put castrol gtx magnatec in it. Valvers hate it if you do use it your car will sound like a tractor, worst oil i'v ever used.
Or alternatively you could get a specialist to do it for you if you don't wanna get your hands dirty (like me sometimes)
Essex racings stuff is cheap, they sell a load of crappy body kits too. I think they are cheap as they aren't a proper make like cobra etc.
Not to mention that they also look a bit crap.
Mum & dad are looking to get my bro an i pod for his 21st, I haven't really got a clue about them as I don't have one.
Which ones best to go for :S He doesn't want a nano one, I think he wants the video one - not sure how much space he wants though !
What are they like, are they easy to get...
You never got them free when you joined up, they were reduced (I think they did a small sticker and membership for £7.00) never got a sticker for free.
I think that if you fill the recess & then put the plate back where it's meant to be it'll look rubbish, the whole idea is so that the plate doesn't stick out.
That's what I think about the price as well.
I love the one Fub's posted up:approve: although i'm not really a fan of the one on pistonheads.
I prefer silver myself - just as a mk1 should be ;)
