I found these today when I was hunting around my p.c.
Its a few pics of 1 of me old cars that i built.
It started of as a mint xr3 with a different coloured bonnet,so I resprayed the whole car in sunburst red and added the RS1600i stuff+wheels.
The engine was a N/A 1600 with twin 40's+kent cam+full stainless powerflow exhaust.
It went quite well.
In fact it used to regually beat this idiot around the corner in his Astra GTE16v.
It was lowered on spax adjustable's alround.

I used to love this car until it started cutting out on me when you threw it into
right hand bends.
It would carry on down the road a little then cut out.
So it had to go.
It would have been nice to go the turbo route now though!
Espiecally as i now have the funds.

reckon thats about the only way you can tell it apart from a real 1600i from the outside too!
Pretty sure they all had sunroofs, RS1600i's??

Not too sure if all RS16i's had sun roofs would be nice if they made them without tho :) I hate sunroofs :P

Sun roofs are crap they all end up leaking.
