Keep the pump unless you get good money for it depending what one it isDing, you strike me as the forum pervert Well these cars are quite addictive, I've got the red gti but I'm itching to drive a vvc so I stuck a last minute bid on one on eBay and won it  . Oops Will hopefully arrange to collect this week coming  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111022333046?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 [img]http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Rover-Metro-1-8-Vvc-Ideal-Track-Car-/00/s/MTAwMFgxMDAw/z/JicAAOxyK~hRGmnn/$(KGrHqNHJEYFEMrTjcpCBRGmnmKLMg~~60_58.JPG[\img] [img]http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Rover-Metro-1-8-Vvc-Ideal-Track-Car-/00/s/MTAwMFgxMDAw/z/yccAAMXQ8odRGmnx/$T2eC16ZHJG8E9nyfoUPtBRGmn)M+(Q~~60_58.JPG[\img] | ||

So help me make my decision by showing us what you look like and i may go sit outside your bedroom window for the rest of the weekend Erm no, I'm quite happy for you not to sit outside my window, Any thoughts on the green car? | ||

| Member Posts: 82 Location: Edinburgh | ding - 9/3/2013 11:21 PM I'd sit inside on the window sill and watch you sleep if thats any better for you? Can understand you not wanting me outside, it is a little chilly on the willy... Thoughts are... i dont like the colour green. But apart from that i aint looked at it tidy Oh dear, it's gone from bad to worse  Green isn't my first favourite but I realised how long the red one is going to take to get on the road and I'm impatient  | ||

 Expert Posts: 8490  Location: Midlands | Aha, the green 100 is a good shell bodywork wise. I went over to sort the wiring out on this car earlier this year and ended up doing a full loom conversion as somebody had carried out a very poor first attempt on it. Needed some tidings up in the engine bay but a good buy with the R888 tyres. Certainly a better starting point than the Red GTi. A girl with 2 VVC tros...you're gonna be very popular round here Fancy a track day...you've got the tyres for it! | ||

| Member Posts: 82 Location: Edinburgh | Thought should update this that the red gti is in the process of being broken, the good news is I now have the green one back with added oomph. When I got it it was not running correctly and the engine appeared to have been bodged in. Took the car to an old friend Goldie at ZRed (was on here with white knight) He fixed the car and checked it all over for me and done quite a few jobs i didn't have the knowledge/time to do with work etc. It got a new engine loom, 52mm tb, 160 air box, upgraged to mems3, zr160 manifold, new belt and water pump, oil and filter change and tons of other bits I can't remember off hand. Excellent job and great prices, he often has many spares in stock if anyone needs anything I'm blown away with the performance of the car now, it even better than I imagined, Next up with be getting the gti bits on and sorting the suspension as it's standard just now and crap Will get some pics up soon but needless to say I love it | ||
