I dont have any, but it has the same body as the Bobby Irvin rx7, painted in a very nice orange.

My car will be coming out of the shed ( carport) in a month or so .. it's been run at a few top gear meetings and the odd Qrdc round .. it let go an engine 3 days before i was going to buy a certain escort sports sedan .. car now has new plans and asperations ( no pun intended) This is the old girl . Ive got some 16 x 10's for here tucked away in the corner and some Hoosier tyres coming before too long . biggest upgrade is the Selectmaz built 20b pp engine , and richmond gearbox . so thats all i have for you at the moment ..

Paul,
Did you manage to get anything sorted out with the Datto for Mallala and beyond?
It would be such a pity to see your car on the list of cars in sheds.
You have made us have to make some changes to get some more straight line handling after Wakefield.
Hopefully something has happened so we can play together again!

I think it got parted out, I know Mr Boost's Dad bought the whole rear end and Hewland gearbox out of it some years back, not sure what happened to the rest of the car though.
Someone should buy the old turbo engine if it is still around, from watching some old videos of the car it surely never lacked grunt!

Thanks 2002 turbo,
Maybe one day we'll see it back in some form.
It certainly was quick down the main straight at calder.

I've seen some cars running Hewlands others regular engine/trans/diff is one more beneficial than the other.
I have seen the prices for Hewland trans axles wow....
Is the weight distribution better?
