OK, few of the car before and after brands hatch.

Was a a good car !, 10.2:1 CR M20B25 on M1.3 management with a few go faster bits inside and out.

280mm Willwood dynalites, BBTB, BTB, A-Tech trackday spec remap, E36 M3 exhaust system( 2 5/8ths right through ) altered brake linkage for better pedal feel and rigidity, running in full road trim apart from harnesses and the Corbeau seats.

Finished it Tuesday, RIP THursday, gotta be the shortest lifespan of any project car on here no ??

Enjoy !

Its a tricky corner, I did a driving experience day there in single seaters. Made the mistake of shifting into third instead of leaving it in fourth, had the back step out on me big time :eek: .

Very sad, such a nice car. Hope you can resurrect it. Good luck.

Ouch! Such a shame. I know it's only a car, but to have had that much work done only for it to be totalled in just a few days :cry:
