Now if im correct, the MED Engineering engine he has in will be making 110bhp roughly, so will be pretty damn fast!
So tempting, but uni is so close

after lots of arguments with me dad, even i've realised now overall i wouldnt have afforded it.
£7700 for the car inc. warranty, and new tax with 6 months MOT
got a quote of £1500 tpft, but really i'd want fully comp which was £1900 - so i'd need another £600 to get me to november when switching policies
thats already £8300 - meaning i'd need a loan of £4500 to be sure as a vehicle inspection i was getting as its heavily modded was £230.
Then new insurance in november along with whatever - fully comp in nomber would be like £1750 or something.
Just cant afford it. Would of been nice to own one of the only turbo'd ek9's in the country - but plenty of years left - got to think with me head more!

there's a VTEC mini a lad drives round harrogate sometimes, he's from leeds - is on pistonheads i think actually. Thats nippy-ish, bit slow for what it should be though and i dont get it.

a mini isnt gonna be anything compared though, an ek4 would be a nice midpoint, plus you could turbo that v.easily
