woah awesome man, cheers
hang on all thats from mine?
11k euros?! Holy fook when was that in 2008 when it first went to ireland?
Yeah dude that was the spec of it when it came it and thats the picture of it off the boat. I drove the both of them that night was about march '08 if I remember right yours didn't even have plates on it yet. There was 3 of them lined up in a row a 97 one my version2, your one and John dunnes old bluetop. Drool fest. Yeah 11k for yours I paid around the same after some haggling with him I wanted the interior badly,
Originally patjoe thought they were both version 2's and the interior was an optional extra and was offering either car to me with the orange interior thank god it didn't get swapped over now after we found out would have been a shame yours was just late registered.

Didn't quite expect this after you raving about the N14 so hard, but then again if you were going to come back to a N15 N1 is win!... glad you came back in style.
Best N15 period.. well JN15 but meh
Well done Craig.. beans on toast for a while i guess!

Looks great pal. Nice buy.
yeh i think it was the powerland that made the cam switch so savage sounding on my 2litre too
wish i still had the JMR header that i sold for peanuts!
actually torque was one thing i was surprised by driving home, for a 1.6 built for revs i'm well impressed how nicely it does pull low down

Car.
Powerland mani and a big catback sounds epic. Burbling like a scooby down low and switchover is unreal.
Looking forward to the updates
fully agreed!

yeh one of my mates always said he thought mine sounded like a scooby comin down his street. 2litre+powerland+3inch catback was insane. miss it bad!
Should try a bluetop if you think the N1 is torquey
should try 2litre for torque
should try a turbo
should try a derv
oh no wait lol
nah it wasn't that i thought the n1 was torquey lol, more surprised that it wasn't totally gutless
could it not be a v2 then? or was that checked on the vin?
i mean it mentions the momo wheel n stuff in that original ad and that was a v2 thing wasnt it?
Well then you know what you have to do, get it back
.Will have a 2.5" with no silencers + powerland fitted next year

haha, hmm 2litre is tempting i spose - down the line. But its hard to get a balance i think. I love how the n1 as it is feels comfortable and nice to drive like the 400miles i drove yesterday in, but still quick and fun.
With a built motor like the 2litre, i got carried away with high 12.5 compression, light fly, light bottom end totally with pulleys, forgies etc, then stuff like heavy clutch. After all that its savage and revs so fast, but it's a pain in the arse as a daily!
Striking a balance is what i wanna do with this build, not getting caight up in brand names and more track orientated parts that will make for a crap road car.
