They mentioned them in PPC & they sound ideal for a fun track car

Cheap to fix engine otherwise found in VW vans, RWD, good suspension setup

"THE" poor mans Porsche, which means its overlooked & underpriced

From what I gather, they're not too strong.

205 is the better option by far, just strip it and fit a 1.6 gearbox if you want, no need for anything else.

It's french, probably. My mates gear box mount broke. Thats about it, and he ragged his to an inch of it's life everyday, his was quick too, i think it was about 150-160bhp, had 4 branch mani, de cat, cams, filter and chipped or maped at hillpower. Was probably the loudest car i've ever driven, and thats saying something let me tell you!
