Going for a test drive on a 98R fiat coupe 20v turbo at the weekend
I was going for a mr2 turbo but cant be arsed to wait ages for a decent one

Whats the thoughts on these, they are 220 bhp i think and pretty rapid, leather seats, air con and look cool

I was well tempted by one, chassis just about copes with power, you`re reaching the limit for a FWD car with one of those. Powerful brembo brakes, and definately rapid but questionable reliability and styling is dated for me, although ive seen a few kitted ones that look mental.

Yep, ditto clutch etc

Also I thinkthey need an engine rebuild around 70k

BUT Owen Developments (work next to them) have two pushing well over 300bhp
