The seats look very similar to the ones in my old 308 which were very comfortable and the alcantara centres work a treat to keep you from sliding about. Those brakes look small though. 😆
The 'tank' controls are the ps1 method and really don't work with the sticks. Change that setting for most of the time and only use tank controls when you need to jump backwards or sideways on ramps etc because that doesn't work with the modern controls. It's definitely not the best of any worlds.
And I say that as I am in the process of refreshing the suspension on my clio.
Ooh while the hubs are off I could get them powder coated, and that arb looks a bit dirty, and that oil leak looks like an engine rebuild with supercharger is needed and...
My little cul-de-sac had 2 nova sri's, a gsi that was swapped for a fiesta RS turbo, an escort XR3i, cavalier GSi, mk1 escort estate, my R5 then Delta and the bobby who lived opposite me rebuilt a 2002 turbo. What a time to be alive!
The fatty induction setup is great and way cheaper than any off the shelf set up. It'll not make it go any faster but it will make it feel faster with the amazing noise it makes. I painted the elbow black and with a battery cover it looked nicely oem.

So now I need to get on with sorting it so it's now jacked up and the front...
I passed in 92 too and a year later my mum siad I couldn't have a GT Turbo. My dad came with me when I bought it 😆. The turbo tin cans on the era were amazing, I wish modern hot hatches had some turbo lag to play with.
I guess I was especially lucky to be able to buy my dream car when I was young.
Ktec seem to be getting a bad rep again lately. Orders taken for parts not in stock and looong delivery times with zero customer contact. Customers don't differentiate between the online side and the garage so jumping ship could have been a wise move if their workload has been dropping off. Good...
