cheeky ***** it would kill ur escort!
Sure it would with an engine like that in a tin can. But im just asking the question. Why would a sane man go from a rover 220turbo to a metro? Are there any pics of the rest of it? Wheres the coupe gone?
no coupe is outside next to the metro
For 450rips it's well worth the laugh mate. Excellent buy

just think mr sanchez, you could buy mine for £100 and stick a GTI lump in, and give tony more of an exciting race rather than you just smoking him in that civic
or he could just buy a gti a lot easier!

Tony after lastnight i have nothing but respect for your metro how may people do you know that can drift a front wheel car like that.
This topic should be turned into tonis orbituary colum.
tony was a nice fine upstanding young chav who had a problem that bugged his rather short life. that problem was rovers. who wudda tort that this problem would kill him. although his death in a highly flamable metro has reduced road traffic accidents on the wirral by an impressive 60%, he will be sorely missed.
a rememberence service is being held @ longbridge sum time soon.
lmao ur a mad hed tony. ur mum must b proud. i think nasa r gonna borro ur red ruster 2 go into space next time f##k the shuttle. 200bhp per ton. wow thats ................crazy. i hope 4 the planets sake u neva have kids. theyd probably nitro there scooters or somat. lmao
who fitted the nos for you mate? how much fun is it?
I did! aint used it yet! gotta fit the wide open throttle switch 2mra and fill it up! need to make a bracket in work for the switch!
Oh wow!!! Tony how cool is that!!! I want ago when you start using it
we cant use it from the back seat lau
now have no battery in the engine bay! he he! room for a nice cold air feed!
need to steam clean the engine now!
soon my civic will be on the road tony, i will destroy your. tomato mobile.
ill just swap my nitrous to my coupe then boy! ha ha ha ha!
somehow andy i think yours will be the one gettin destroyed if he puts it in his 220 lol But if tony does his engine swap then you will be getting wooped by the tomato
tony does your 220 even go? and whats all this malarky about an engine swap? you puttin the 1.8 in the metro?
no ive got the timin belt of my coupe! and yeah im puttin a 1.8 in my metro!
praise the lord, this will be sweet
to be fair tony once the 1.8 goes in the metro itll be sweet and top marks for havin the balls to do it mate.
just a question, how will the extra weight of the 1.8 effect the handling or whatever? what bhp them engines got as standard?
it is the exact same weight! its the same engine just stroked and bored! the 1.8 has 120-130 bhp dependin how old the engine is but see good power gains from little mods! and the 1.8 vvc is 160 bhp which is also the same block just with a head that works like a vtec!
just thought id add ive had 130mph outta the metro! up 2 now!!!!!
how about this would give you good race lad you should have a look at 1it would certainly move with your noz in

Anyone know whats going on with this little pocket rocket as i havent been out for so long so havent had chance to catch up with people.
me and tony changed the clutch for a 1.6 one and at the same time tony did his brakes except he forgot to pump them afterward so when he drove of down the road an breaked for a parked car he couldnt stop so he paniced and handbraked it up the kurb itno a wall lol. It is repairable and we will be having ago this weekend so he should soon be out.
Hahahaha!
honestly its terrible tonys driveway is like "rise of the machines,Rover styly!"
