Just bought home the Silver tech1 fowler had for sale.

Unfortunately the car is not for me but for a Zone Shop customer.

This tech1 is a bloody rocket! The low end grunt is way more than any tech2 Ive ever driven and it revs so well.

Its a real shame I cant keep it for myself.... :cry:

All thanks to Fowler for being extremely honest about the car and thanks for Ant for suggesting it.

The new owner is going to love this little beasty!

It is going to be a very nice car when I've finshed with it.

Owner has confirmed the following work:

KW 60/40 springs using standard Boge front dampers (for now)
Bilstein rear shocks
H&R ARB's
Sparco Steel Strut Brace
Poly bushes (except subframe)
Gunmetal 15" BBS's
Remap
BBTB
ITG induction kit
Possibly a BTB 6 Branch
New Control arms
Smaller steering wheel
One superb short shifter (not Z3)
Weighted (500 grams) solid metal gearknob

Car is rapid as it is, should go considerably better when it's finshed and make rude noises.

Fowler's been as honest as anyone can about the car, there is a small amount of rust on the floor, nothing Ant can't sort out.

It no where near as bad as your making out, I've seen plenty of tech2's which are much worse.
