The engine was reconditioned in 2008. The car itself has had a colourful past, having been owned by RED TYSON, w...

Re: NA or Turbo for first MR2 - around £3k to spend

Re: Fiesta ST

I had one of these a while ago on an 05 plate. It was fairly slow to be honest when it was standard, but with some Cosworth goodies on it was a little flying machine. But whatever the power output, it is still a fwd shopping cart :-) Heres a pic of it on the front of the SToc stand in summer 2006 at...

Right-ee-o folks,

I have added some interior shots, not the best given the crappy dark evenings but I will try and get more at the weekend.

In light of peoples opinions on the price front, I have upped it to £3995 :-)

Cheers for the input so far guys - really appreciated

Dude, how are you getting on with the Gizzmo? Hello mate, well so far so good, I am a total rookie and I had no trouble setting it up and it holds boost well at 1.1 bar with no issues. It is really user friendly and has six channels. I use two, one for sensible driving at .6 bar and one for nutty d...

Well finished the install of the Gizzmo MS-IBC and went for a ride :) Had a play with the settings and even just having the restriction off in first and second is brilliant.
