New Weekend Toy

[ben_r1]

For those of you who saw my misses car at FCS last year i thought i'd update what we had planned for this little 1.4 beasty.

Just got it back after a month in the garage undergoing a little modification...





Mega camber from new coilovers and a bigger front axle



To accomodate this:







Specs include 182 manifold, matched inlets, Panel filter, Remapped to suit.

Real little sleeper in 1.4 form and has embaressed a fair few 172 owners in the past two weeks.

Dyno figures to follow soon ( Gives the 197 a run for its money )

Why not just buy a 1*2?

Or is it so you can insure as a smaller engine?

Sleeper look, plus the cars been in the family a long time so it's got a little sentimental value.

Was my first car 4 years ago and my bird rolled it last year and then nursed it back to health lol, all for the journey

and no it's insured and taxed as a 2 litre.

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Ah thats ok then, gotta be carefull if you do that!
