My Cool Retro new toy :0)

[Evolved]

Cool in a retro way and looks in top condition but never seen the apeal of them myself. The raider was my fave model of these but still preferred other offerings of the time.

What a fab bit of kit that is, I do like your 5!

Über cool! GT Turbos are rare enough so god knows how rare the earlier model is. Great stuff!

Thanks for the kind comments. Haven't caught anybody out yet as its only just hit the road. Has rebuilt engine with better internals, intercooler conversion, uprated clutch. Should be pretty quick once the boost is set up they make 160 bhp-170bhp at a bar of boost and it weighs under 800kg , won't stop and handle like a modern hatch but sure it will shock them in a straight line :0)

A fine colour scheme indeed

[Altrezia]

What a stunning little car. I wish I could stumble upon cars like this. Awesome

[Notanotherturbo]

Will blow me down, never seen a Meggy that colour

[drewos]

That sir, is awesome!

[johnfm]

Bloody nice is that!

What's it weigh??

[Notanotherturbo]

Haven't weighed it but I would estimate about 750kg. Makes the power to weight ratio easy to work out too :0)- 160 bhp for 200 bhp per ton

Don't do too much to it and don't get embroiled in a quest for HP. This sir is perfect just the way it is and yes much better without stripes.

Pretty sure I used to see this in Leicester 4 years or so ago.

Love it, what a handsome looking thing it is.

I made that mistake with a previous one I had about 10 years ago, made 190 bhp 190 ft/lbs at 16 psi boost but was a proper handful and would spin up in 4th gear when it was wet on boost. Only looking to run 170 bhp max this time.
