Hi guys, i'm off to a better place (australia) soon, so before i go i thought i'd see what you guys thought of my car and its progress before i bent it.
It was a 1997 Sport, x14xe,
Had:-
Mantzel inlet
Remus centre section
Janspeed 3.5" back box
Viper -cold air feed
Oil Breather
Lowered 40 on spax adjustables
Calibra 2.0 calipers with cross drilled grooved and vented discs
Goodridge braided hoses
Speedlines
The rest was pretty stadard. had some amplified 6x9's and a cd changer.
i did have a few things to go in it such as a C16xe, Remus centre section and few things inside.





It was in great condition with full electrics, thing is i decided i was gonna sell it. Just before i wrote it off 200 mtrs from home. so i'd like to know if you liked it and what it would be worth. milage 70,000
Thanks, oh, just for good measure scroll down.

oh, oil breather, when you fit an aftermarket inlet (or you could just do it for good measure) theres a breather hose that goes from rocker cover (on the right) to the air inlet trunking round the back of the engine, anyway mantzel's etc get rid of the trunking so you need a baby K&N or similar to filter its oil breathing, in the engine pic just left of the secondairy air pump.
