here's an email from the guy who bought it.
Sounds like he's doing well.
***

The beast is up and running again found the problem melted piston
so I dropped another engine in got it up and running and fitted a hks
fcon ecu into it she goes quite quick now boosting to 18psi with no
problems maqnaged to acquire a set of hks pistons oversized for the
other engine so im in the process of rebuilding the engine get it
lightened and balanced and remove balancer shafts so eventually she
should go pretty well then on e of the days I will take her to one of
this trackday meets might see you their

yes and no.

yes: it was an old school RWD beast with a huge engine and turbo. a car that you had to tussle with, but once you'd learnt respect for each other, you got on really well.

no: i couldn't have afforded the rebuild.

I'm glad it's still out there, frightning others :)

I was very near to getting one before I got my MR2, part of me wishes I had carried on looking for them and gotten one, but I love my MR2 too, and I think it likes me :).

Just gotta get yourself another Jap RWD car... old skool :)
