It's not though, unless you actually have a number 7 in your surname tongue out

Had this about 6 months now with no real issues. Bought it to replace a Clio 197 that I didn't really gel with at all. So far I'm loving the rotary, not so much the appetite though laugh The chrome alloys will get stripped and resprayed during spring/summer!

Bought this earlier in the year, after a succession of modern performance cars boring the life out of me to drive, I was looking for something as a quick road car and decided was going to get a cheap S1 Elise and do a Honda engine conversion, However since I last looked, S1 prices had pretty much doubled ! while looking I got wind of a mint S1 coming up for sale that had already had the conversion done and was exactly what I was after so I saved myself the hassle and bought it.
Since I bought it I have just changed the wheels , fitted some track tyres and swapped the K20 engine for one with a set of Skunk cams and Rbc intake ect dynod at 262bhp. I am an old skool fan so it sits nicely with my other stuff, bit of a 90's theme going on !

Ha Thanks and you are not the first to suggest that , I am a big Honda fan and love the old Crx's and Civics. I really want a Civic SB1 but they are like hens teeth now !
