[_BILLY_ZR_]

hmmmm swap for Dc5 lol

 

[jesse888]

^^ haha had a feeling you'd show up lol

 

[5alldaway]

after taking it for its mot, really enjoyed driving it, and the roof wasnt even down! may just keep it lightly advertised and if it goes it goes, dont mind keeping it

i dont like the look of dc5s! much prefer the dc2

Been thinking about going for one of these, but wont be till closer to summer time. Not long had the turbo on the '9 so wanna enjoy that first. Nice car mate!

 

[5alldaway]

cheers matey, they are great cars and i wouldnt mind hanging onto it tbh, but i cant fit the baby and the missis in there

but im gonna carry on doing a few things to it, next im gonna get some springs and rota slipstreams!

 

[sambo711]

Well if you have still got it at summer time, gimme a shout lol

 

[5alldaway]

lol you can come hollering for me!

if i still have it then it will be on some nice rims and lowered

Have you made any changes or done any work to the car since you bought it?

Have you made any changes or done any work to the car since you bought it?

ive had the front bumper and splitter smoothed and resprayed, and 2 small scabs the size of 5pence treated and sorted

other than those changes, nothing else has been done

" insurance is £800 fully comp for me ", may i ask how old you are and how many years NCD you have? also what is the advantage of the jdm rear subframe?

im 29, 10 years no claims, live in a quiet village

the main advantage of the jdm subframe is they aint as rusty as the uk ones, apparently siezed subframes can cause some serious issues, the subframe on mine has been changed and the bolts have all been copper greased so there no issues on that part

 

[5alldaway]

provisionally sold, new owner to collect the car on saturday

will update after

 

[jesse888]

Wow well done mate!
What you thinking of next? You going to dabble some ek9?

 

[5alldaway]

lol he has to come pick the thing up yet!

but if it sells im gonna take a back seat for a while, owning 3 cars is seriously not healthy, at this moment in time i own a toyota aygo which is a Godsend for everyday use, golf vr6 which is the family car which i did a thing or two to it that got out of hand, and the s2000 which i bought while i was angry and pissed off lol! but it would be nice to own just the two cars for a while. ive promised myself that if i was to get anything i will make sure i sell before i buy

if the sale of the s2000 goes ahead of gonna finish off the golf vr6, tbh i want to use that for a while cause it is a comfy car with decent performance, being the highline model it comes with full leather, and is pretty damn spacious with a boot that can take all the babies items! and for shows i can just wind it all the way down as its on coilovers and put the bbs replica wheels on

for the time being im just gonna stay around and see whats what regarding the ek9, tbh i am swaying more towards the clio 172 cup, its similar performance to the ek9 and probably 5k cheaper lol! have some fun in the clio and do the track days ive been meaning to do for the last 10 years! but i can never say never with the ek9 as its my favourite looking type r, lets see what happens!

but mainly im just gonna enjoy being a dad for the time being, should be spending out on my lil boy rather than throwing money at cars i dont use!
