Another one to the scrap yard heaven

252bhp Motec?
Sounds like John W old car? Is it red?

I believe it was John's. I saw it at Bexley's and it was
a right mess - it looked repairable but I guess the
shell's knackered after all. A shame because it was
a lovely car
Every time a Sport Evo is molested and/or smashed,
the remaining few are worth more.

Shame

Everytime I get round to considering a trackday I hear of another smashed one on the track either here or via the US sites.

Id be mortified if i did this to mine and its nothing special just a decent basic 2.3.

I reckon its time to investigate buying an old clio 16v or pug 205. if It gets binned it wouldnt really matter.

Hi fellas,

Yeah, that's my old car. It belongs to Pottsy who a few of you know.

To be fair, there are quite a few nice bits on the car. The engine was good. It revved like a motorbike and made a nice noise. The block and pistons were brand new (the old blocked developed cracks when I owned the car so I had the engine rebuilt). The Motec would have cost £2500 fitted new, although I got it second hand. The car only has one Scrick cam, the 284 inlet one. The exhaust cam is a 272 (I think) which was the original inlet one swapped to the exhaust side. Even the engine cover has been repainted with the correct black crackle finish. The engine wasn't as powerful as Andy O'Hara's but it felt good to me.

The interior is as good as new. The gear knob and hand brake cover are new (I am a fussy person). The steering wheel is a brilliant (new) Momo job with yellow stripe at top-dead-centre with a BMW horn button. The seats are perfect (cloth).

The gear shift was fine.

If you phone up and ask Bexleys about it it could be a good buy for someone.

 Very sad, another evo sport bites the dust . Why don't these trackday heroes learn how to drive in  'D reg diamond black dogs' instead of destroying irreplacable evo sports.    An evo sport is a very important car from a historical point of view and  shouldn't be allowed to fall into the hands of heathens, cheapskates and those with dubious aesthetic leanings.    It begs the question ,How many good standard cars are left?.

Bexley told me that the car was lost on a very greasy
road on a rounabout, ended up going into a
lamppost.

OK OK so we can't all build roads as well as the Germans, don't
rub it in
