i built it from standard mate then broke it so no1 else had the car,it was just like a typical valver it always had problems, i built a engine for it, spent a fortune and built it myself.....lightned and balanced B/E, reworked head, catcams etc etc but it just kept being a nob so i broke it and bought the ph1. loved that car though, was cold in the winter though lol

maybe i will have another one soon
