Had one for about 18 months (a few years ago now - it was an '84/B). Truely wicked motor with an unbreakable (feeling) engine. Mine had a Koni suspension kit, so it handled like a go-kart too. Enjoy

Awesome car.

Had mine sideways sevaral times due to driving like a **** (was a few years ago now ), but each time managed to control it - testament to the car not my abilities btw.

Engine is a cracker and bombproof if looked after.

Enjoy it.

lovely car mate, looks mint. always wanted one of them, just need to find a spare 4k!

mn_angrybeats

Sideways on demand too as I have found out, keep it at 5 - 6k rpm and it's fantastic...

Engine has had a 2k rebuild by RM Motorsport, bottom end rebuild using the best components, 1mm ovoverbore and ported head....

Throttle response my Cooper S can only dream of

R.A.

Cool car, had one of those a couple of years ago, put 205 yokohamas on it and drove like a loony. It rattled all sorts of supposedly faster cars due to the fantastic grip. no Gatso's in them days either(cue rose tinted spectacle moment) ahhh

mn_angrybeats

I'm track prepping it, cage, seats harnesses etc and intend to drift around the majority of uk circuits :-)

NOZZER

I had a facelift 86 model, what a great car, the best fun. Infact thinking of getting one like yourself for track work. Trouble is trying to find one.

very sought after car this, where did you find it??

They are like rocking horse **** to get hold of these days they all ended up in Ireland A great car from what I have heard but sadly I have never had the pleasure of driving one

Do a search for one of these on any online car selling website and you'll get 50 "wanted" adverts and no cars. Rocking horse **** is probably easier to find!

NACRO

Nice car, do you wear your Burberry baseball cap when driving it?

Funny you should say that, I sold mine to a guy in Ireland who flew over to get it I did 50 miles in when i had it and he paid me double what I paid for it

clarence

This car seems to be sought after everywhere. Ppl are restoring these cars in Japan. It is already a classic.

clarence

Remember to keep the original parts when u mod the car. A lot of the original parts are getting rare.

mn_angrybeats

Yeah of cause I do, even have a Max Power sticker

NACRO

Fantastic- although I don't think it's the sort of car that suits a max power sticker. It's the driver I was talking about.

mn_angrybeats

And your reasoning behind that is ??

NACRO

I was using the same moron logic you employed on your previous posts when you characterised Impreza drivers as baseball cap wearing idiots. Tosser.

Nice car though shame the owners such a twonk.

andym172

Bloody hell Mick, he's got you down to a tee!!

NACRO

I'm sure he's not a tosser out in the real world- even if he is he seems to have pretty good taste in cars, apart from his irrational hatred of Subarus that is. I imagine it can be traced back to having his *** kicked on the road by one. Don't be sore just get a faster car

EvoBarry

NACRO, far be it for me to stick up for Mick, but have you seen the spec on his CooperS? It would scare a few Scoobs in the real world I reckon.

Glad to see someone with taste Mick, I'll get mine fixed soon enough and join you on track

NACRO

Yup, I have, it looks like it would give many cars a scare- I think he's got a bit of an inferiority complex though. Can't imagine why.

mn_angrybeats

Nice one Barry, ordered the Roll Cage today :-) won't get it till the 2nd week in January though, oh well give me time to sort the suspension and brakes out...

EvoBarry

You've renewed my interest in the car so I will make a concerted effort to get it sorted in the new year.

I wasn't going to cage mine, but its tempting to keep the Sunny as a daily runner and keep the Corolla for track use only as your doing.

igratton

WOW,

rocking horse doo doo isn't the word - and it looks in good condition for its age

Now you just need to drop an S14 20DET Turbo lump into the front and you have yourself a fantastic drift/track car (not that it isn't already)
