    Uhmm kinda of... I chatted to him after I took the pic, he had a BIG Taz in the back hanging off the roll cage. I think he was at ND too but not 100%. I am sure this car has been on ebay recently too. He's a northan lad.

    I am sure the kit is for sale ... Send soapy mechs a PM (who I can't find on the members list!) and he'll give you the details, I'd advise getting the rims first

    Re: white wide arch kit gt

    Wow iv never seen that car romil do you have other pics?
    There's no denying the kit is a big commitment and I'd applaud anyone wishing to take it on. It's not to everyones taste but I didn't join rtoc to be the same as everybody else if I wanted oe I could have done it twice over by now. The kit is availible from me. The wheels can be sorted pretty easily....

    Last time I saw that it was blue. Was a mess in all honesty and broke down a lot.
    I can't believe it still has the giant taz in the back.

    I could be wrong but some White trophy kit panels turned up on eBay a while back could this have been scraped? Iv never seen it or any others apart from Bruces.

    That's not the shade of blue I saw it in.
    It was a pastel blue like on the M3.
    I take it those pics are as old as they look?
    I recall him saying he had it painted but it was a while ago.

    ps the xflow was in the old car, the starlet did have a different engine agreed i love the sound of them twin 40s i had them on my escort mk2 harrier too lovely wish i never sold it as i believe there were only 1500 harriers made

    I have never really found it a problem,the only thing there is the intercooler and that slots out fine. You don't need to join everything up like I have ,so the parts can be removed if needed. For me joining the kit makes alot of difference to the final product.

    Not sure maybe before my time, I do know it was fitted with a Volvo lump and was quick. It was a very good example and Bruce was very patient when putting it together, dont know of another 5 with a military grade wiring loom shame it's dissapered

    Volvo? Thought bruce put a 2.0 Megane lump in it after initially building the car with a fully chromed engine c1j.

    But anything Bruce drove was very quick he was loco behind the wheel

    Especially when forgetting certain little pipes and boosting to 60 odd psi for one lap, beating all the cossies... But only 1 lap
