Love sleepers but its 220bhp and says 'Super Quick - Subaru's etc don't stand a chance '

Hmmm I think it would get eaten tbh  :rolleyes:

Maybe in the twisties but it's going to be lighter than a scooby and most impreza's are tired and down on power.

220 is quite a lot for a car that weighs nothing :P as long as it can put it on the road without leaving half the rubber behind

I note from the advert that the current and previous owners have done HUNDREDS of miles in it.

Should be very well-sorted then.  :grin:

Nice 'death harness' in it.

I'd imagine it would have all of the delightful inherent characteristics of a Golf2 VR6, amplified.

I love the lettering on the engine. Looks like its homemade with tape.

Agree with DH, what a death trap.

I went off these fast tin boxes a long time ago. I couldnt care less if they are quick, the death inured when you hit a tree would be very fast and painless, the only good thing from it. (the painless part, not the dying part)
