THIS IS 'MAROON'. AN ICON I BOUGHT IN 2023 WHICH ORIGINALLY CAME WITH A 1.8 NON VVT ENGINE WITH THE RARE 6 SPEED MANUAL AND 3.9 TORSEN LSD.
tHIS CAR HAS UNDERGRONE MANY CHANGES. IN 2023 I TURBOCHARGED MAROON AND PRODUCED AROUND 230HP WHICH FELT INCREDIBLE WHEN ONLY WEIGHING IN AT 999KG HOWEVER AFTER A LONG SUMMER OF DRIFTING, THE INJECTORS MELTED AND THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED. I REPLACED THE ENGINE AND WAS BACK ON THE ROAD 9 DAYS LATER BUT AGAIN, MY ENGINE GOT DESTROYED. I SOLD THIS CAR ACCIDENTALLY TO A BREAKER IN 2023 AND WENT TO JAPAN, MONTHS LATER AFTER RETURNING TO THE UK, MAROON WAS FOUND AGAIN AT A CAR SHOW AND AFTER CONTACTING THE NEW OWNER, HE AGREED TO SELL IT BACK TO ME. ITS THIRD ENGINE IS CURRENTLY A N/A 1.8 VVT WITH A FULL EXHAUST SYSTEM. I PAINTED IT WHITE IN MARH 2025, I CHOSE WHITE BECAUSE THEY NEVER MADE THEM WHITE IN EUROPE. YES I KNOW IT IS NOT PERFECT, IT NEEDS CLEAR COAT AND I WANTED TO LEARN BUT AT LEAST I CAN ENJOY CARE FREE DRIVING FOR NOW.
