Doesn't need a diff, out of all my cars this one is the one that would least benefit from one.

I disagree. Will not benefit as much as a higher powered car but having driver a 197 with and without on track a diff is very beneficial.

Maybe its because the cars with sub 335bhp couldn't keep up, causing an illusion that you were infact alot quicker as standard, without a diff, therefore made you think you didn't need 1.

No spoiler, looks tacky and completely stuck on. Rear is squat and purposeful. Plus it will more than likely just waste fuel and slow it down

Looks in great nick mate, glad you are happy with how it drives. I recommend approaching corners faster than you think it will go, then watch it eat them up and beg you to keep it nailed. These cars just beg to have their head kicked in

Yea i do love it, its just like my dci but with heavier steering and a bit of grunt, ohhh and if you get it right it can be pretty quick, not fast but quick..

Oohhh and the boot is fantastic for a hot hatch

Right so haven't touched this in ages for a few reasons - been dead busy with work mainly, but ideally need a cage/bracing before i cut any structural parts...

Ive noticed the spending is mounting - it already owes me well over £2k so I'm trying to cut back

So as i said a month ago I was looking at this cage - to convert to weld in




That is still the plan - however i was on holiday and the seller has been too - awaiting confirmations its cds before we move on - a mate has agreed to make me door bars and a harness/cross bar aswell as fillet it into the shell allround.

He is also going to make me a nice strut brace and that for the front. And convert my front end as i pictured a few pages back... So i ordered a front mount rad from a cincuecento -



They dont make the rear window edge/surround panel anymore - mine is fucked


Its like that all along, but a fellow on imp club has made me one of these - just trying to get him doing the other side







The bit in the middle - i can get made myself.

I have the new sills here aswell - so once i get some argoshield and some floor panels it will be all systems go - its not forgotten, just stock piling bits
