[richmicratwista]

no swiper used urs in the end and it runs fine!!
my engine was from andy s who purchased it from awesome dawson and awesome dawson bought it from gemma, the ironic thing is i took it out of gemmas car and watched phil drive away with it lol the only car it actually has been in tho was gemmas and now mine

I always wondered what Fox Evos would look like white, I have a photoshop of mine somewhere, now I know they look awesome in real life! Yoink!

Nice to see you join the 1.3 club hehe, I remember you asking me billions of questions about it at JAE 2005 when I barely knew you! haha

stripped out. but i still see you have tho's heavy primera gt seats. if you going to get bucket seats (lighter) i'll be happy to take the gt seats of you.

the best piece weight saving rich could do would be to empty his boot :doh:

 

[Raceworx]

theres enough scrap in the boot to make a new K11

looks good, hope it drives well.

i want to start bandering my car now as well. everyone seems to be doing something new apart from me!

he says its been stripped out but hes only taken out the rear seats and put a false floor in i wouldnt really class that as being stripped out.

 

[richmicratwista]

theres nothing in the back apart from a very lightweight false floor everythin else has gone

seats
seat belts
spare wheel

 

[Raceworx]

dude you sort that leak out yet??

 

[Swiper]

dude you sort that leak out yet??

i don't think he has, we're gonna have a propper look at weekend. i think a gearbox seal has gone, possibly.

 

[Layla]

percy would still pee all over it. if he wasnt dead. woe is percy

nice one rich, i remember how totally different my first car felt after the 1.3 was chucked in it.

 

[richmicratwista]

percy was a legend ................... not me but a little one lol

ye this weekend sort out the few little issuses and we are away
