I'm tempted to register just to call him a fricking idiot!

My Lupo did it when I picked it up, but after keeping it running on the highest speed setting for a good 15 minutes it cleared up and went. I use it every 2-3 days as well even if not needed just to make sure it keeps working properly.

Nice! Back when these were new my dads mate had one built specifically for him because ford wouldnt give him one! He regularly beat roger Clarke even though he was an amatuer, but that ended when he got greedy with a second place and stacked it into a lake! I think my dad said the car had...

Thanks Ben, Rich. I'm not worried about paying a proper price, just after seeing the adverts I thought I might save a bit!

Aye, long story with it! Was gonna get rid because I wasn't enjoying it as much as I hoped. Then started to enjoy it, but owe my dad about £10k for work on my house, so thought I'd sell it to pay him off a big chunk of that. Then he said to not sell it and he'd wait an extra 4/5 months for the...

Will do mate. Not long been doing it, I've seen some adverts on TV and leaflets in the shop!

Cool, I might call in tomorrow and see if someone can give me a quote for the work. Got a mate who works there so might be able to get a bit of discount too. Can't wait to get the Lupo looking completely mint, some new wheels on the way pretty soon too so it will have a nice fresh look!

I need some spraying done on my car (Both bumpers and the bonnet), keep seeing the halfords adverts, but has anyone used them? Apparently they are miles cheaper than bodyshops, I'm just worried that I get a shite colour match or a really bad job with them. I'm guessing my colour will be hard...

My Lupo goes from 11 to 22, so from 55% down to 44%, wonder what real life effect it will have though!

Send them back, will be a ballache to sell on and not going to fit 100 right. Especially if you are 2.0'ing it, a lot of stress on the wheels.

Think my mate got 2 new rear shicks for around £70 recently, not sure if he got a discount though...

^ Nah no discount, they just ask, don't ask for proof or offer a discount.

I'm 19, 2NCB, 1 non fault accident and 3 points SP30, with Adrian Flux on a modified policy is £1750 with £500 excess, on Money Supermarket I think it was I got £1600ish on one. Postcode is middle of the road I think too.

^ will do, cheers mate. Just gonna price some bits up at the minute, haven't got much cash in the bank at the minute!

I keep having problems with your site, won't let me ad anything to the basket, just times out! I'lll try again later! thanks for all the replies.

Right, I need a nice abrasive polish to use on my Lupo, SFX3 doesn't touch it, neither does Menzerna intensive. So, what do you reccomend?!

The high-ish revving when you start the car happens to all of them mate, it's the choke to get the car slightly warmer slightly faster, it willdrop to around 750rpm when the water temp. gets a bit higher. I used to get 44mpg on short journeys to work and back, so definately something not...

Is the Frodo Baggins on the right?!

Adrian Flux mate, all non performance adding mods are free.

I know from driving a 1.6 16v back to back with my 1.2 16v, the suspension and steering was miles better in the 1.6. I was under the impression the 1.4, 1.6 and all DCI's had the uprated suspension and steering due to a heavier engine up fornt?

I thought you lived in Scotland? How far did you travel to get some sunshine on the car?! Looks nice mate, good job!

Insurance quotes aside, I need to sell up and buy a complete banger. Gutted :(

On moneysupermarket.com with the Supra, 5 companies come in at under £1700, the 172 is with my current insurance Adrian Flux. Good point, both were in orginally at £5.5k from the 172 quote, just redid it for a £9k supra and it's the same price.

Oh, and a CTR was about £4300...!

I know insurance is a wierd thing, but check out these 2 quotes with my details: 19 2 years driving 2NCB 7k miles a year fully comp £1k excess 2003 172 - £1800 1995 3.0 twin turbo Supra import - £1600 Man if only the cars were cheaper to buy and run....!!

Mmmm, i want a cup now!

Has the cambelt been done mate? Might help the sale.

Where did you get 21 from?! I'm 19, all mods that dont increase power are free as you said, any that do cost.

I love the fact the owner tries to pass off the body panels as carbon fibre....!

Looks fcuked to me, washed with a brillo pad....?!
