I think it's time that this moved on and I stepped back from having an interesting car for a bit. I'd be very interested in some cash my way and a swap for something bland and mot'd, medium sized, possibly a wagon, why?
It's a 998cc Tropic, but it lost those stickers a long time ago. Only engine mods are a cone filter, but I have a collection of parts to turbo, inclusion of those could be negotiated. There are totally unique features such as the star side repeaters, over under shotgun exhaust and duck-tail spoiler.
It has JDM numberplate nipples, a peep/wink/stadium/panoramic mirror, and a Nardi style steering wheel. Other interior features include a fur dash and rear shelf, which has a pair of box speakers and a purple beacon on it. There are also some red harnesses inside.
Lows are achieved with slightly modified Corsa coilovers and Corsa top mounts, rear is short OEM springs and Spax adjustable dampers. The wheels are 8x13 ET20 Revolutions all have some curb marks. The fronts will be wearing brand spanking new tyres. The driveshafts inner and outer CV's will also be new.
The body has the kinds of dents, marks and scratches that you'd expect of a 23 year old car, and the windscreen is cracked, but it's outside the drivers view. There's MOT on it until early September.
My blog thread has as much information as I could possibly give, the link is in my signature. I'm asking for offers in the region of £1000, for a car that is so much more than the sum of its parts.
