"Serious fun for your money!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My lambda sensor went at about 82,000 miles which meant I was failing on my emissions test, I was glad it was the sensor and not the cat though as it only cost me £65 instead of £200!

Alternator went at about 90,000 miles.

Exhaust replaced when I brought it, middle and rear.

General comments?

I have never had so much fun flying off the lights before this car is seriously quick I've raced a mitsi FTO at the lights and beat it with ease!

If you can find one with leather seats then your gonna be a happy chappy, very plush, and sports like with rouged door panels.

The extra gauge's give the dash a sporty feel too and allow you to keep an eye on what your engine is doing.

If I were to compare the handling with anything it would be a go cart! and due to the one piece rear suspension you can get the back end drifting round corners!

I can only say the Mitsi FTO must have been either a GR and a GS... as I have a Mitsi FTO GPX that pumps out 215 bhp and have raced a clio sport cup at the lights and beat it... with ease...
