NEW CAR!!!!(what a way to start my ownership)

[Phoenix]

2 hour train journey to warrington and 1 hour n 30 mins of driving/admiring/talking and signing £940 later I was the proud owner of a 1.8RSi(a big upgrade from my old 1.4RT)....and what a way to start my new ownership...pulled slowly out of the drive and forgetting there's 4 lanes of traffic and driving down the wrong set of lanes into on coming traffic....luckily nothin coming and comfortably got into the right lanes. lol.. here's a few quick pics....havent had a chance to get decent ones.

76k miles
lowered 60mm all round
side exit powerflow
R5white alloys
Cobra Buckets with 3point harness'
Stripped rear
Green induction kit
Xenons
bad points is bonnet needs replacing due to stone cips and dents.
Doors could do with a respray
ariel needs replacing as it looks liek it was superglued on
dash bulbs need replacing
lol

[Phoenix]

it is indeed....and it is nice...that side exit to...omg....

 

[Tim]

is that sambos old beast .

 

[Phoenix]

as above

 

[tommyboy]

mini beast, nice mate

 

[cat171]

It looks alright that, but tbh i'd change the wheels, as the 5 gt ones are tiny (13's aren't they ?) any plans for it ??

You sold your green car ??

 

[Phoenix]

yeah they 13's still undecided if i like em or not...they have good grip and light compared to the 16's on the RT.
(which i still have btw and all money from sellin it will pay off the loan i got to get the car)
as for plans....everything major i want doing is done.
its mainyl just small things like replacing dented bonnet and respray on doors. i'm gonna change the rear lights tomorrow for my black ones on the RT.

 

[Leeshez]

Stunning little toy.

 

[Phoenix]

I thought so....never new 13s could have so much grip

 

[Christopher]

HAHAHAHAHAHA - good one. (more in gear power........heeheehee)

[mas]

thats what made me get a RSi over the 16v

 

[Final Maxim]

Good stuff, sounds good!

 

[mas]

its easier to get a new one mate, has a fair few dinks etc..

new one is only gna be about 40 quid.

repair would outweigh the cost of a new one

 

[Final Maxim]

gonna be painting into the wings too though with a new bonnet= possible colour match issues

 

[mas]

possibly...

suppose its up to him, it had a 16v bonnet on it which was off another car, the colour was ok and not noticeable...

depends on the donor cars condition really i guess!

 

[Phoenix]

how old are you and wats insurence like

23 with almost 1 yrs no claims £950

looks nice but not to keen on the wheels.

I'm still undecided on the wheels yet...

i was wondering what you were doing turning right on to the main road... LOL!

haha

my excuse is i have a bad memory....i made it safely though hehe.....however i'm currently looking round for parts to fix the rotor arm...i have no idea what i need lol

 

[al]

Stunning!

Absolutely love the wheels!!! bit of a sod to find tyres for though.

 

[Phoenix]

apparently so but i checked with my local garage and said they will be able to order in the tyres if and when i need them.

 

[mas]

mytyres mate

the rotor arm should be easy...

need a new coil, the rotor is inside the coil.

I think sam said he removed them as the cops where giving him grief. I had no issues.

I have loads of pictures of it. Even when i first bought it, completly standard.
