Cool project! Looks the nuts! Dont get why everyones complaining about it not being an STI or WRX, if youre doing it how you like it and can afford it do it!
Unlucky there mate, shame about the engine but glad to see you're enthusiastic about getting 2 engines built and getting back out there! Best of luck with it mate!
That sucks man, sorry to hear about this. It seems far too common that some sh*tc*nt does this to someones pride and joy. We need those flamethrowers security things that you can get in South Africa, that'd teach the sods a lesson!
OK thats it, i cant take it anymore. This thread mixed with the problems ive had with my clio have made me decide i need JDM in my life again! Thinking maybe a civic or something. That black S2000 is MINT!
Im feeling a good shouting/arguing session coming on XD we'll see what he says when trading standards are mentioned lol. Probably wont do anything but oh well, it might be worth trying to get a contribution to the repairs.
Wow man, im not normally a massive fan of scoobys but that looks awesome! The lack of rear spoiler and v. 8 front end make it 10x the car it was stock!
Just got a proper quote back of £490, apparently the valves need doing and i quote - "theres no bloody way that cambelt has been changed, go and shout at the garage you bought it from!". Anyone know where i stand here? in the book it says cambelt changed but hasnt got a dealer stamp or signature.
I know what you mean, ive had loads of problems already but i still cant really bring myself to get rid! Really not sure whether to get rid and go back to japanese, clios are so nice though :(
Ahh thats interesting. Only bought the car 2 months ago but the garage didnt supply a warranty. Bas**rds lol. Anyway its in another garage now, awaiting the diagnosis and the charge!
Lol yes it did. Just found out cambelt is gone. B****cks!!! been quoted over £500 for repair by a mate. Only paid £2500 for it the other month! Damn thing. Tempted to get rid once its fixed, its just problem after problem.
was driving along today, nothing out of the ordinary, and my car just lost power and conked out. Now it wont start but does turn over. My mates having a look at it at his garage tomorrow but thought id check if anyone could shed some light on this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot mate you've been a lot of help! I may just contact future publishing and see if they can offer some work experience or something lol. Thanks again mate, and good luck in the future with the mag! Ill keep an eye on it for updates with the 172! ;)
Well i've picked it up and it definately has changed since i last read it! Not bad at all i must say. The only reason i really bought it was for your clio feature and the beanie :P not a fan of all the feature cars but you cant satisfy everyone.
Must admit i've always rather fancied a career in...
Must admit id never normally buy Fast Car mag as i associate it with chavy mods etc but the idea of a fantastic clio, lots of Japanese goodness and a free beanie means ill be picking this one up! Congrats on the cover btw!
