green eyed monster

where do i start, i got this car from a local srape yard for £50 as needed parts for my car. so i stripped it all down and started to think i can do a project here. iv got a mate who works for renault, so parts that i needed i would get them cheaper.the car was stripped to a bare shell and then went to custom body work in ipswich for the original mallard green. While that was getting done it was time to think about engine, i was going to rebuild the engine, but i thought i will give BB tuning a call and they came up with a 2.0 turbo charge engine which i thought too much money £3000 for the lot. after two weeks of deciding what to do i went for it and thought what an engine.evey single part on the car was replace from fuel line down to jubille clip. i got the body home and the engine and me and my mate started putting it in.then came my coilovers which i think r the best went on. i kept the standard brakes as money started to run out , then went on a stainless staight thru exhaust which sound unbelievable.i then had to get my ecu remapped. its got full leather seats and gold 3 piece split rims. as for performance it was on rolling road its got 202bhp and eats scobby for breakfast

most scoobys have quite abit more bhp than 202 bhp and they also have 4 wheel drive so in theorey scoobys should rip you to pieces evn a standard scooby i think the basic ones are something like 240 bhp so when they race you that cant be trying that hard.
nice car you have there though mate
