My genuine milage 1 previous owner (deceased) 1993 rover 414si 7600miles only!!! thats right 7600miles! not 76000! & NO power steering!!!

all i have done to it is change the exhaust to a self made stainless system with a slightly modified metro gti tubular exhaust manifold & downpipe! it needs a 2nd silancer as its a bit too boyracey loud for me! i want it a subtle burble!
lowered it about 100mm but the front has to come down a little more to loose the gap between arche & tyre edge :OD
i have the rover gti alloys like in the pic but i actually drive about in it on stock steel rims! they are black with a red pintripe around the perimeter of the rim! the rear lights are from a tomcat so have the clear rear indicators rather than orange! i have also painted the bootlid numberplate panel matching red, i may paint the roof a matching black to the upper half of the doors so its a very subtle two-tone!
i have a genuine rover front splitter & bootlid lip spoiler (a bit like a bmw m3 one) i also have some gti rear spats to fit too & a tomcat turbo bonnet that has the bulge in for clearance of the t-series turbo motor also needs painting & fitting! i'll debadge it too, we know its a bloody rover
other than the above it is totally stock & will stay this way as i only tootle to work n back in it, my only plans are to keep it rust free & look after it! i like it to be subtle! those that know rovers will see what i have done those that dont will think its stock!
although if i had a serious engine problom on the 1.4 k-series! i have a full tomcat turbo motor with a t28 turbo & big SAAB intercooler & all the bits including front & rear vented disks & powersteering setup! i bought a cheap drivable tomcat turbo that had a rear end smack & stripped it for the conversion bits! & it was feckin fast as heck! i'd love to get it in but i dont have the time at present!:look:
