Final Pics of the Storm Trooper

[AmirClio]

So shes comming apart tomorrow.........Got very attached to this car, though i'd share the memories.


Started as a 1.4....

The 1.4litres of pure mayhem gave up and so it would have been rude not to drop something in with a little more, how you say....VaVa Voom!

In the search for more power, i bought a "ported and polished" heads bull*cough*sh*t, Which ruined everthing and for 6 weeks i was without my baby!

I got it sorted and she had a face lift!

At the ClioSport Rolling road day she pumped out 146 rampant french stallions, Well chuffed for a standard engine!

Bit of a vid of the progress....

We've had a couple of fallings out....

But despite the small issues shes been great! Heres the final pics of the Storm Trooper!

RIP K895 SBJ

Thanks for looking!

ah mate feel for you - really really do. Personally, i would have made the door strips white and chucked the mirrors - oh and filled the gap in the bonnet but despite all that - its still looks sweet.

And, 146bhp - not bad at all considering standard is 137 - top work mate.

[Mikey]

aww mate, shame, looks a lovely little car!!

 

[AmirClio]

Thanks guys,
From the outside yes it looks nice, but under the skin she is starting to suffer. The innder arches are pretty bad also the rear arches are falling apart! It will never be a Valver and the little extra's you get with a valver are what makes the difference.
The tungston i am building will be a minter! She will take me to the nurburgring in the summer got some bits to do to the engine and suspension so will great when its finished!
