Its only there for dodgy drivers who dont know how to get out of sticky situations. FWD cars dont tend to get in to them unless you push the car VERY hard. Used to fly round corners in my valver and it hardly flinched.
Try hammering it round a bend with 235 bhp through the rear wheels and no...
One of my neighbours washs his Fronterra every week with one and its always gleaming.
Never done it any harm. Before any one says anything this is one of the top of the range 3.2 V6 luxury ones not a rusty old cack can.
I hope you find out who did it. Id like to see you tie them to a chair, pull all their toenails off with pliars, then do a Goonies and put their hand in a blender!
I swear its Clios.
People were always having a go at mine, both the RT and the 16v. You prob all know that some chavs nicked my front grill and the rear boot strip a couple of weeks ago.
They are bad luck cars im telling ya!
Dont think many people import n/a Jap MR2s. The only difference would be air con I would think.
Mines the GT which comes with all the gizmos as standard which is nice. Next down is the GTS then I believe the G-Limited but dont quote me on that. Also theres T-Bars and tin tops. I opted for a...
3rd gear on standard boost mine bit me the other day. Just momentarily forgot I was in the tubby and not the 16v and kept my foot on fun pedal while on a roundabout.
Back screached out, had to spin the wheel a bit and some how got it back.
Ease off the throttle on bends then hammer it out...
Err yeah right.
Back to topic, Onion RS Cosworth, dont mean to sound negative but without an original log book with details as to such a model then you wont be belived?
Are you saying that its a mk5 based Onion like the Escos? In which case the engine is longditudinal and is a 4x4 car? The...
How did you manage to lock keys in the car any way?
I did it in my 16v - got a concept 500 alarm, made a funny noise so I got out, popped the bonnet and revved it from the engine bay.
Of course as soon as it hit 1,500 rpms the door locked on me. With the engine running and keys in it...
They bent my mates door when they did his.
Joel, if yours is a 5 door then the rear qtr glass costs £45
It may not work but on a Fiesta you can pull the rubber off the front window sill, and slide your number plate down to pop the lock.
I dont think it does work as the 2 times my Clio RT...
Get it de-locked while your there, it dont cost huge amounts and will porb work out cheaper if you get it all in one.
Just remember it becomes a pain when the battery goes tits up and you have to crawl in through the boot!
(Personal experience speaking there)
Look at it this way, it might not be hugely faster than a valver but it has 85% of all its power at 2,500 rpms.
The valver is a chore to drive as you HAVE to keep it around the 4k mark to keep it quick.
Obviously a different car but my MR2 makes aprox 137bhp at below 2,000 rpms and fcuk me...
Ive been arguing that with my mates for ages 100% 1st time on my theory test suggest Im right and 5 attempts for each of them says theyre wrong!
They all think its 60mph unless its a motorway like the M25 with more than 2 lanes!
Nob jockeys!
Get it sorted ASAP as you dont want a claim pending when your re-newal comes up.
This happened to a friend of mine, he was told he was being claimed against even though the accident occoured over 100 miles away in a town hed never been to.
Phone them (LV) up and say you have recieved a...
1 isnt available as its in a museum I heard lately. (As oposed to being smashed up)
2 has mega low miles on it. It was on a sky programme recently and they said it was worth £13k upwards.
What the buyers willing to pay dictates the price. It wont go down if it doesnt get used much so...
Whats illegal about it if it has all the correct letters clearly displayed?
My mate got pulled half a dozen times cause his K7 ORBO looked alot like K.TURBO
No points and no fine, just had to get some standard plates made up.
No chance am I spending a couple of hours taking the exhaust, brake lines etc off to change the pump.
My mate kept me waiting for 5 weeks saying he was gonna do it but never did cause its a poxy job.
