I'm still on the benefit of the doubt side - The custom plumbing looks too good to me to be a lash up job.
All the clearances look right, that's not a standard ebay turbo manifold etc.

The brakes in the pic are the rear brakes and they look like that on a lude if they're parked up in the rain for just a couple of days. There's no obvious uneven wear on that disc (which again, is really obvious on lude rear discs if it's present)

At the end of the day, there's only 2 ways to answer these questions...
1. someone with evilbook messages RW performance
2. @merlin pops over to bradford to take a look at it this weekend! :lol:

(And either way, at £1k it would be a bloody steal! Though I suspect this one will be bid up by friends)

Benny's 2nd gen looked good as well didn't it? ;-)
Very fast car that has the power to waste most VW and Audi!

And no.

And what is it with the auto correct with the wrong spelling of "Vtec"? Surely we should be allowed to see when members spell that wrong?! :lol:

... Or we could find the original ad, from the guy this chump bought it from, because he clearly can't be responsible for it :roll:

Yep - trying to make them so they didn't overrun my username (since the intention was to abuse myself, not anyone else) ;)

Can't tell if that's your genuine reason or not... I always just read them as pointing to the post above.

I tell you I'm intentionally calling myself a tosser and you're not sure when the believe me? :?
Oh dear, it comes to something when a man can't even abuse himself in public! :lol:
