Cheers mate, don't think you can grumble at your tidy little line up!
Yes, forgot about that mate, it has. Featherweight! Only time I've seen the shift light so far is on start up ;)
After wanting one for so long, and patiently making my way up with a couple of decent cars in between, I've finally bought one.
Here's the 106 GTI I impulsively decided to sell to fund the move:
Actually pocketed £500 out of selling the GTI and buying this, GTI's really command a premium...
I'd have loved to have sold it to you mate. Contrary to what you might think though, good ones like mine do come up...perhaps not as well priced as that was though! Let it go for too little maybe.
Thanks mate, would love some! Still enjoy browsing back on the ones you did of my Zetec-S!
Get...
My brother has a 1.4 6n2, I've always thought it's a nice drive whenever I've had a go. Nice torquey little engine, handling isn't much cop though.
That looks a really smart car, enjoy it!
Spec when I finished with it was:
-Ecosse enclosed induction kit with green cotton filter
-Raceland 421 manifold
-Magnex exhaust system with decat
-266mm caliper and disc setup from a 206 GTI
-Lowered 25mm all round on Bilstein B4 OEM replacement dampers and Eibach Pro-kit springs
Here are the last pics of it I took before I sold up. It was really sunny and quite warm on Saturday when the lad picked it up, so it really looked mint as it drove off:
I think those 205 wheels set it off a treat and I'm usually not a fan of them on anything other than a 205! As someone else said, suits the square front end.
This weekend...new girlfriend, new car. New girlfriend rates the new car!
Then again I have tried my best not to bore her or try and impress her with it like I imagine some long suffering other halves of members on here have to put up with!
This went today guys, sorry to those who were interested. Looked and sounded mint as it drove off in the sun :(, got the asking price though. Will upload the final pics I took tomorrow.
On the plus side I now have a PH1 172 :D
Release bearing going was what caused the clutch to leak oil and then destroy the box on mine so I was told!
Mine did leak a bit of oil too, and I replaced the rear bushes on mine with Powerflex ones in the time I had it.
Think your oil leak is probably camshaft seals...you ought to consider...
A mate of mine has just picked my old one up for £470!! - Needing a new clutch and gearbox.
It'd got into a bit of a sorry state after I sold it...bottom end went apparently and it had to have a replacement engine! Which I find amazing when I serviced it twice in 11 months I had it, it had FSH...
It definetely shifts mate! The four branch manifold coupled with the decat I've got on there has made quite a nice difference too.
Funny that a lot of people rubbish that point you make about the single plug thing. A mates VTS, also a single plug like mine ran 131.5bhp with just a decat and a...
Going to have a look at a few on the weekend sir!
Marco, its on 79k but I'm not getting into a debate on the price. There isn't another on the market thats had the amount of work done that this has for the money, simple as. I half think I should have priced it higher with the amount of people...
I'd love your Trophy, I think I commented one of your photos on facebook saying sell it to me when I graduate!
Unfortunately my restricted budget means PH1 time for now.
Hi guys,
My mate is looking at a PH1 on autotrader (looks like both of us could be picking PH1s up this week!)
As per title, reg plate W752 WTR in silver...I'm sure I've seen the plate somehwere on here before. Also it has a couple of CS type mods like clear side repeaters and black badges...
Would love it to go to someone on here...
Deal at the weekend could yet fall through anyhow.
Typical to its French nature, the drivers door lock has just this week packed up meaning I'm currently getting in round the passenger side...Not so stylish. Gotta get that sorted before anything...
I'd love to Luke...gotta be a man of my word though!
Never had this with selling a car before, usually took at least a week before I've heard anything.
Chris, you thinking of selling up?
Hi Rhys. Yep, got someone coming on Sunday from Pompey so I imagine it will be going :( Had a lot of interest on it...
It's a wicked car and every time I drive it I think am I doing the right thing, but the time has come to own a Renaultsport now.
A worthwhile upgrade mate, quite a bit quicker...
