If you get it at the right price it would be great to give it a respray in the colour you like.

I have seen this car , once on the mk1 club stand, then the following year on the Two Brutal stand and it is stunning but the colour will put a few off!
My Sc Se will be having the mk1.5 conversion soon but i will be keeping it as near to a standard Mk1 as i can!

Very few modded cars will get back the money that has been put into them!

It's the fun of driving it, that makes it all worth while!!

Amen to that... beating a brand new Integra Type R by a good 100 metres at Santa Pod this weekend makes it worth while as well...

13.6 @ 102 mph in case anyone is wondering... (yes i am boasting :mrgreen: )

What a surprise.

Would have thought it should easily have reached the 5K that 1.5s are reputedly worth.

Possibly the colour put people off,looking at general prices on ebay probably not the best time to sell

Yes it is. I have only driven Sy's car at Anglesey (when it was only boosting to 6psi) but I've got to say I was very impressed. Despite the enormous lump of an engine it just felt like I was driving my Supercharger, the handling felt very similar. The torque was very impressive. And at this level of boost it was impossible to tell it was turbocharged (no lag at all).
