Intro:
The car was first bought by my son as a nice red 1.4SR on an H plate.
Following an off road excursion into a wall the front wings were replaced and the engine re built with a Blydenstein head, 275 Piper cam and performance exhaust.
I then started to take it to track days, the first of which was at Kemble airfield around 2002. During this period it was modded and re-modded each time it broke thus:
1. Old 1.4 8v Blydenstein head, 275 Piper cam, Wilwood 4 pot front brakes plus Twin 40's.
2. 1.6 8V Blydenstein head, 285 Piper cam, Twin 40's, Performance exhaust, coilovers alround, stripped out, bucket seats and rollcage.
3. 1.4 16V Velos built engine on TB's and running DTA management circa 180hp, slicks
4. Current engine 16XE 16V SBD built engine on TB's with MBE management and a load of mods that I will post next
