really bored of it now, grown out of the modded car scene to the stage where im not bothered about driving it, its done 0 miles in 3 weeks AND its NOT in bits for once!!

so.........

im at uni in 12 months, so if i sell and buy a new car it will only be with me 12 months as im not taking it 2 uni (garage it or sell it)

but

id like the new car to have money spent on ICE, engine, and performance as aposed to headlight conversions and kits

got a few ideas:

mk4 golf gti
crx del sol
306 cc 2.0
mr2
astra coupe
fiat punto convertable
320 convertable

i know most r poser cars, but fuck it, im a show off and i do like the attention some times lol. if i get a convertable it will be just after Xmas so i can get it read for spring

or should i hold out, drop the 2.0 in mine, (EVERYTHING is ready bar engine) and give it a new lease of life

was gonna get new kit but i cant b arsed, working 40 hours a week means i got no time for it anymore

i neeeeeed help on this

marv

ps - had it 2.5 years, and i think im ready to sell

my dads got a 2.0t oil burner and it flys, its a big car too and gets silly miles to the gallon!! only thing is his is group 14, and im only 20 still lol

i did this car test on parkers.co.uk and it came up with a bmw coupe 318, had a looksy and u can get full electrics, silver leather, 18s etc for under 5k insurance is about 1300 tho, quite a difference trom 550 on the corsa

how did u hear about this site mate?

ps - looking for offers over 4 on the corsa, thats with tv, coilovers, etc etc, the list goes on and on

marv


Will have to keep an eye out for your lasses Mk3, sounds like she's gonna make it look quite tasty but not OTT!

To be honest with you mate, the 318's sound like an absolute bargain but they aren't cheap to run and not all they're cracked up to be. The badge is a beauty to own but I think longer term the Mk4 would be a much nicer car to actually own.

You may also be pleased to know that you can get 19's on the Mk4 without any arch modification

shes on www.clubgti.com under the username D6NNA (her new plate is similar to this)

19s sound ace, the reason i was gonna get a beema is i wouldnt mod it stupidly like the corsa i have, half of it is made out of fibreglass lol! i might have seen ure car about, any features on it?

not bothered by running costs, only use it on weekends (corsa did 5 mile in last 3 weeks) and i do all engine work myself

Nope, my car is a totally standard 1.4 on steelies at the moment! I've had it just over a year now and it costs enough just to run it. Saving my pennies though and hopefully by November/December I should be able to get myself some 17's or 18" BBS RC's

It's in *Jazz* Blue, reg T410 ***

I'll have a pop over on clubgti sometime, are there any pictures of her motor up on there mate?
