Yes you are ****

I'm the proud owner of a Phase 2 Tungsten

Been garaged for nearly 4 years. I sold my other one to fund the Scooby. I'll get around to working on it this year and get it MOT'd.

We did get the impression that may be the case. I remember he used to be commited to the 1.4 engine and thought that other tuners using the 1.7 were cheating.

There must be something in the water in Dorset - K-Tec are just down the road from where I work in Verwood!!

I had one running 220bhp but was stripped bare inside and went like a rocket. Can easily show up higher powerd cars.

Didnt Jamie Shaw (Carisma) get his to 300ish BHP?

Was that the light blue one with the white/cream leather interior?

5 Turbo was fast in its day but no where near the power of a decent Impreza but fun all the same.

We had one in on a K plate, a white one around about 1993 sometime, I owned a raider with stage 1 mods, quality motor till the box blew, garaged it for a few years then got rid as i needed the space.
