    Nice wide margin of 40 bhp, I wonder how the 'hole' engine rebuild and 'gasgets' are working out for him.

    That shed has been advertised on pistonheads many many times before. I would bet my house on it not running anything near 280bhp

    I think it's cool.. nothing wrong with a bit of ali G styleee.. wicked eh wicked... jungle is massive..

    Although the hole in the rebulid worries me too perhaps thats where the £17k went..

    But, hey he's got an RTOC sticker so we may get another member from the sale

    Embarrassingly, all I wanted 12 years ago was a Fiesta with a wide kit like this, lol (I still secretly think it's kinda maybe a tiny little bit awesome)

    I'm sure everyone wanted a kitted up car in the past! Trends come and go. Japanese motors still just about manage to pull them off, but I feel a bit sick inside when I see euro hatches kitted up

    I'm glad I had my "maxed out" CRX back in the day... wouldn't drive it now though
