mattnorgrove 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Well I've been on here over a year so it thought it about time I posted a pic or 2! She's a 1990 Tornado Red 16v, 140k with grey leather interior, which needs many little bits doing, if I ever get time! Since I've had her (14 months now) she's had bits replaced all over the place (bushes, brakes, cambelt, PAS and water pump etc etc etc) to try and get her to the stage I'd like. Ultimately she'll need a respray as there are a few little problem areas, but she is 17 I suppose. Lowered 40mm, SS Exhaust, Borbet C 16x7.5 (best wheel for the C ever made) with Goodyear Eagle F1's all round, late G60 steering wheel, and an 8 Ball Gear Knob. :lol: Here she is! Feel free to make comments/suggestions.... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted November 17, 2007 Looks good! 8) Reminds me of mine, before I started playing with it! One 'suggestion' would be to put an early spec bonnet back on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted November 17, 2007 Strange to see another red valver on Borbet C's! Looks good :) Sounds like you're going through the same laundry list of repairs as I have been on mine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattnorgrove 0 Posted November 17, 2007 put an early spec bonnet back on it. Was considering that TBH, I do like the early bonnet, looks a little sleeker, but the bonnet's one of the only panels on mine with decent paint! :( lol Strange to see another red valver on Borbet C's! Looks good :) Cheers Jim, gotta love the Borbets, didn't know yours sported a set? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traverse 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Looks nice. I'm unfamiliar with the 16v motor... Is it a 2.0L or just a 1.8? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattnorgrove 0 Posted November 18, 2007 Its the 1.8 16v, mechanical injection, but considered quicker than the 2.0 16v as you can hit 60mph in 2nd due to the different gearing. She loves a good thrashing! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
