This monstrosity belongs to a fella from my local kr00ze forum, he owns a bodyshop and 'designed' and built this. lol

[NovaGuy1400SRi]

He owns a bodyshop, but thats what he came up with? It's F**king hideous!!

[L14MNP]

:D Yep! It's for sale now as it is 'out of fashion' It has been around a good 4/5 years but as we pointed out on the forum it never was in fashion.

He is crying because someone asked if the Fiat Coupe lights were from a bus and want to know what management it was running to make 300bhp lol

[Asa-James]

ONE OFF FRONT BUMPER THE BACK LIGHT COME FROM A BUS THE BACK ARCHS ARE FROM A SUKI VITRA (wtf?) IT HAS NO DOOR HANDELS(composer?) SO YOU OPEN THE DOOR WITH PUSH A SWICH THAT IS UNDER THE WING MIRROE


THE WINNING BIDDER SHUOLD PAY £200.00 AS DEPOSTIE THROGHT PAY PAL THIS IS NONE REFUNDBLE.~(i wouldnt pay £200 in total matey...)


SORRY IF THERE ANY SPELLING MISTAKS


credit where credits due, at least he gave it a go...

but my favorite bit

I COULD DO WITH SOME LOVING AS I HAVE EEN BANNED FROM DRIVING

[L14MNP]

lol! think he missed a 'T'?

Love the 'SORRY IF THERE ANY SPELLING MISTAKS'

This is the general level of education on Newcastle anyway mate :p lol
I would never let him near any of my cars, his works always been 'iffy' to be kind, he quotes people for cheap spray jobs / repairs online without seeing the car! never a good thing lol

[NovaGuy1400SRi]

could be fun if it is putting out 350bhp as stated lol

[large_steve182]

seems to like a knob.
"the car spins in every gear in the wet"

my dad can spin in every gear in his ford focus on ice. doesnt mean it will get him 820 quid when he goes to sell it.
oh yeah and it looks like s**t merged with aids.

[L14MNP]

Subtle as ever Paul lol :thumb:

Is it fcuk putting out that sort of power, if it ever was surely all of that crap would have been ripped off by the wind lol

A mate got 135mph on ice in, wait for it.....




A 1.1 saxo lol handbrake on, few metres away from a wall too actually, so if it got some grip, we were into the wall!

[L14MNP]

It probably would have bogged down and not been able to use its 'power' You would have escaped unscathed lol

I have towed a mate off the ice (he broke a driveshaft arsing on in his rover 216 gti) I finished work in the trusty old isuzu disastra and towed him home, she didn't even spin when pulling the crane sling (i know lol) tight :D

[Asa-James]

sorry, its really bugging me!

"Hi there, here is my Rover GTI 220 turbo. This car is one of a kind. It has flip paint. One off front bumper, the back lights came from a bus. The back arches are from a Suzuki Vitara. It has no door handles so you open the door with a push switch that is under the wing mirror. The car has a T34 turbo and is running 350 bhp. The car has just been MOT'd and i will tax it for the winning bidder if they want at their cost. The car could go to someone who would love it as i have been banned from driving. The car spins in every gear in the wet. It has full recaro seats. Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes
The winning bidder should pay £200 as a deposit through paypal, this is non-refundable.
Here is my number please call if you have any questions *******
I am readvertising this car, please if you dont want to buy it then move on. The last auction ended with bids of up to £820 so i'll lower the reserve price, so happy bidding people!

brrrap brrrap shizzle ma nizzle (i'd imagine,)"


now that wasnt hard, was it?

[L14MNP]

It is when you are retarded dude lol

Seriously though if that thing was running 300+ then surely the engine alone would be worth around his new reserve?
I've seen it go before and it was quick, but only 'hey there's a tom cat wit the boost turned up' quick lol

[burgo]

the front end looks like a scooby

[Asa-James]

its not even a tomcat, so it isnt really even remotely-in-an-old-british-car-enthusiast-chap type of way cool. at least the tomcat looks well...

[L14MNP]

you're right (tired) negative on the coupeness :(

tomcat motor though lol

[Asa-James]

http://www.paulridley.co.uk/Rover_220_Tomcat_on_trailer.JPG

looks well in its natural habitat...

[L14MNP]

lmao! I've never been a huge fan of them mostly because I know a lad who's had loads and he turns the boost up/blows the turbo or throws rods with them etc etc but they're still the greatest thing ever regardless of how much **** they give him (or he gives them)
I bet those wheels would look cool on a sportpack cooper though, if you could get them on lol but not as cool as the 420gsi (iirc) rims, they done a similar style on the Freelander too.

/off topic lol

[Asa-James]

is the 220 turbo engine based on a k series? i always wondered what the biggest engine you could put in a metro was...

'Interesting' gen there mate lol

The Rover 200 Coupe is based on the R8 design platform which was originally a hatch and saloon. It was introduced in 1993 as part of the 200 range, and had the choice between a 1.6 D16 Honda unit or a 2.0 T16 Rover (NASP or Turbo). Known as the Rover tomcat, it sports a T-bar glass roof, pillarless doors, and all models came with alloy wheels. The range was revised in 1995 when the 1.6 Honda was replaced by a 1.6 Rover K series, and the 2.0 T16 was replaced by the Rover 1.8 VVC K Series. The interior was also revised at this point until production finished in late 1998.

No mention of it being K series?

[Asa-James]

shame...

[burgo]

hmmm i know where theres a 2L k series doing nothing. anyone got a metro?

[Asa-James]

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/714632.htm

will that do?

[burgo]

that would be awesome and you know it!!

anyone know how much power 420gsi's have?

[Asa-James]

Engine Size 1994 cc Cylinders 4 0-60 mph 9.0 s Power Output 134 bhp Valves 16 Torque 185 Nm Top Speed 124 mph

found here http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Detail.aspx?deriv=11172

[burgo]

not amazing power then but it would do in that metro

[Asa-James]

i'd pay good money to see that on the pod!

[MK999]

Lotus elise mk1 engine is k series and should have a bit more poke i think, only 1.8 tho... or is that an entirely different engine in the metro? weren't most if not all, a series?

[Jack]

SORRY IF THERE ANY SPELLING MISTAKS

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAA

[L14MNP]

A mates mate used to have a Rover 1600 engined Metro GTi, maybe the Honda lump. I'm unsure, but it was frigging quick lol
Burgo, do it :D Use a standard Metro City or something equally crap lol
