    yes my friend bought it, the problem is rust behind the rear arch extensions there are holes inside the trunk lol

    if the car is beyond repair the kit will be removed and go on to another 220bhp turbo car project

    The widebody is pretty awesome, just needs a new front bumper and some different side repeaters.

    Hi all... and thanks Hooligan. Well "I was that soldier"........ collected the car last night. I first walked away form the car due to the under kit rust in the rear. I then went back for the wheels and thought, wtf... i may as well buy it. Only since chatting to Hooli and another esteemed roadster friend did I realise what i'd got. Despite is "ugly?" looks, I think that its "worth" is in sticking to its origins...so all the body panels will stay and be refurb'd. Not sure of direction on drivetrain etc or colours. We had indeed been planning a turbo rebuild in Gulf colours but not sure this is the car for that. I suspect that this may just be a body kit now with all its tuned parts gone but we will explore....

    on the subject of looks... well, if was good enough for Jack Hayashi it's good enough for me.. the car was originally in BRG (and since done in blue) but if restored on this shell may well go back to its roots like this one....

    The drive last night was interesting, I was dreading the 16" wheels but in fact the car was totally planted! .....

    Power wise, i'm not sure. It has a stock'ish zorst and no induction which won't help. It wasn't the typical responsive revvy 1.6 but has a very deep engine tone under acceleration which I SO hope may just indicate a bored out 1.6 engine.

    Hello all, I'm another piece of this puzzle. The car is being stored at my house at the moment so Mrs Cribbohx doesn't see it. Having driven it to work this morning it really does drive well, but I'm pretty sure the engine is standard. If anything it might have a different ECU as it appears to have a V-TEC like syndrome above 4,500 rpm which no other roadster I have driven has had.

    It does drive very well though and the heaters work which is a bonus compared with my car!

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
    The Hayashi is my dads (cribbohx) and mine and will be putting it back to its former glory.
    If the Hayashi doesn't have its original engine (forged pistons, uprated cams etc...) we will more than likely put our 230bhp turbo engine and running gear in it so it goes as well as it looks.
    I will put a build thread up so you can watch the progress unfold, we might dyno it (rolling road) to see what it is currently putting out and go from there.
    But i will leave you with some more piccies
