"Not bad for a family car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

So far I am on engine number 2 after the first one packed up after only 79,000 miles.

Gearbox selector bracket snapped, a quick job with a welder fixed that.

Water pump packed in.

Driver's door lock stopped working and the driver's seat side lumbars have collapsed.

General comments?

Not a bad car if not a bit flat in the low revs. Soon sorted it with an exhaust, Superchip and induction kit - now it will give things like VTRs a good seeing to. After about 4500rpm it flies but not good for off the traffic lights runs.

They do fly after you get them up there, but be careful, I took my car up there one too many times and I blew a cylinder, but mines a 1995 5speed and only has 119 horse power, and it starts red lining at 6000rpms, so yours probably sits higher I'm not sure though, glad your having fun with yours, mines in the shop getting a knew cylinder or whatever it is. lol. ;)
