I had one, (check my garage) I loved mine, its very quick and reacts well to breathing mods, it will fall apart and break a lot but the engine is sound

driveshafts were made from rice crispies I think they are almost guarnateed to go.
* I had a new clutch, 48 runs at crail killed it 
* Arch fell off, most of the bodywork is held on with crappy clips, so I took it all off and bonded it on (tiger seal )
* It will idle irratically usually due to a build up of crap in the throttle body housing, clean all that out and its sorted. This is especially true if it has the ram-air induction kit.
Still a great wee car though
