Following on from "Corsa Kid's" post in Projects, we got the old B plater ready for llandow today and she performed fantastically! Not bad for ?450!

The tyres were Tesco brand, but held up very well indeed (20 laps) before they started falling apart, but the grip was surprising!

We embarrassed LOADS of Pugs, Citroens, Scooby (singular) and lots of other expensive stuff...

The only drawback was the master cylinder gave up mid-afternoon, but the car overall was awesome. Especially for what he paid.

The pics below show how it was last night (at 11 pm!!) in the bodyshop... the bloke promised it would be ready for today and it was... at 04 30 am!!!

yeah a mint low milegae dis xe! the car was really reallly good onthe track it felt balanced and was getting quicker top speeds then a skyline/scoobys up the straights just hitting 100mph or there abouts, found out the reason for the brake failure it was fited with a smaller master cylinder not a gte one that i had thought previuosly the brakes were awesome aswell up untill the seals went in the master cylinder i am still in shock at how well the car performed and the money i have spent on it, and was embarrasing and out handling much more expensive machinery its the best fun i have ever had in a car! here are some pics
