Hello + Car history *car pics*

[r8byb]

Hey guys, im a tad bored at work so thought id post up some picture's of my car history and my newest purchase, im sure ill be on here alot more as im a bit of a picture *****...:rasp:

Anyway im 20 now and live in tamworth close to birmingham..

had a variety of car's 2xcorsa's, punto GT, saxo vts, 306 rallye, ibiza cupra, clio 182 in that order... All car's were standard when i bought them apart from the ibiza.

Pics below also in order

First car, converted from 1.2 16v to a 1.6 16v with about 125bhp..

Second car, Corsa GSi, L Reg with just 63k at time of purchase, made a healthy profit on this one , just added light's, wheels, lowered and exhaust then sold.

Third punto turbo, about 165 bhp, then it went wrong :|

4th car and still my favourite, saxo vts, loved it got 14k of hard miles and didnt miss a beat, if only i wasnt 6ft 3

5th car 306 rallye, great car but got offered a swap for an ibiza cupra which ive always wanted so couldnt refuse

6th car Ibiza cupra, about 220 bhp, but just no charchter like the french car's

Finally the clio, standard bar the front reg i modified... hoping this will live upto the VTS although with a leaky shock and a intermitent engine light its not got much hope so far

Pretty boring post, but im bored myself sooo :rasp:

Nice selection matey...love the white rallye on the white rims..

 

[Matt-16v]

nice collection mate. i like the yellow cupra and 306 rallye too.

 

[Scaggeh]

Ibiza brakes rubbish? I see you are using a polystyrene box to stop the cupra rolling away!

 

[mini-valver]

The Corsa and Vts are really nice mate! Every one is a minter aswell. You'll enjoy the 182!

Welcome to the club.....

[cat171]

You've had a lot of cars for your age
A lot of nice ones there, I actually quite like the red corsa (which will prob mean that i'll get shot down for saying that) Like I care lol.

How do you get insured on them being so young ??

 

[Coby.]

Corsa GSi looks Mint, I always wanted a GSi when I had my Little 1.2 Corsa, I'm 21 and only on my 2nd Car and your on your 7th, That is Crazy

 

[r8byb]

how did you mod the front plate please??!! what saw did you use!!

Got a graphics company to make the text about 1/5th smalelr than standard and used a hacksaw following a drawn line.

Insurance - ive alwasy paid about 1.3k for insurance on every car, clio has been the most expensive though.

[Leeshez]

Shweet

 

[HartZ]

I love the picture of the GSI, looks so nice! All of your cars have been well modified, you have good taste lol

 

[DebV6]

That's alot of cars! Like the 306

 

[Greeny.]

Lucky for a 20yo thats for sure, nice selection and subtle mods on all of them though

 

[Christophe]

you on corsasport. recognise all your cars from there

 

[martynrg]

great selection of cars...and you're only 20!!!

306 is a minter!

 

[r8byb]

20 is old i feel old anyway

 

[my172]

Great little collection there mate!! One of the nicest looking punto's i've seen and the 306 is stunning!

 

[clio_luke]

very nice previous and present cars there!

 

[Rich_16v]

Nice selection of cars

Which engine light is on?

 

[r8byb]

electrical fault one, it goes off when i turn the car off though its come on twice in 500 miles.

 

[Merk]

Stunning VTS.

 

[rikcup]

Quality! Had a corsa once it had a redtop top (astra gte 16v donor with coscast head) went like stink. Great fun everyone thought it was a 1.2 16v!

 

[Dip]

Has/was your Cupra down at Ultimate Dubs? Seems familiar

 

[r8byb]

yes it was at UD

 

[marky-f1]

glad you seen sense in the end

 

[Rich_16v]

electrical fault one, it goes off when i turn the car off though its come on twice in 500 miles.

Square box with zig zag line in it?

Check a battery terminal isn't loose

Also take off the inlet elbow from the airbox open the butterfly and clean inside the mouth of the throttle body they're be a carbon deposit that messes with the throttle position sensor

Common problem

 

[The Big Yin]

That GSi looks so familiar , Where abouts you from buddy ?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Ah Mr Rich-6 from 306gti6.com i guess? Welcome Isnt it funny how the 306 owners swop to clios and vice versa; french tat FTW :race:

My old beat

 

[ChrisPearson]

nice car history tbh.All cars look very good condition and modified tastfuly

 

[r8byb]

no ive been r8byb on most forums, i remember that Rallye

Rich 16v - Thanks for the advice checked the terminals and they seem ok, will remove the TB tomorrow and give it a good clean

Im from Tamowrth near birmingham, the GSi is now in Fife though i belive

Thanks guys

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

Look nice all them cars pal, like the gsi, punto an the vts.

Id leave the tints on the clio if it was me pal, they make ur car look original and different to every other car on this forum

 

[DaleGT]
