Ignis number 2

[MarkCup]

Agreed! They just look like they should be driven flat out down little side roads covered in mud all the time.

That's what I did in mine pretty much. One of the few sporty cars on the road you can actually drive flat out in without the need to keep backing off all the time.

Great induction noise, just enough poke, massively over-braked, if you can get past the looks what's not to like?

 

[Goodj]

Love these, so much.

they were on the shortlist when the 1*2 got unceremoniously discarded.

I remember looking at one when new, had my MX-3 at the time. The young lad tried to convince me that I'd be shocked at how quick they are, then look it back when he saw what I had in part ex.

In fairness, MX-3 was probably about the same for pace, but sounded a lot more special.

I'd certainly have one, the interior is a bit chav but the exterior is just stupid enough

Well I did Bedford Autodrome last Saturday and it was hilarious, I loved every second of it!

I've got a pretty boring video but hopefully some more interesting ones to come lol...



I got past a few Clio's too, which isn't bad for a 109bhp 1.5

 

[Mr Burns]

Here's a slightly funnier video, chasing an Audi TT...



Skip to 8:25 to see an S4 convertible go flying past only to overshoot the corner, then I spin on the next chicane.

Very nice.

I've forgotten just how good these sound when you're on it

Proper LOL at the weapon in the Audi.

 

[Mr Burns]

Yeah they're great fun, and not far off the pace of a standard Clio really (as you know!).

I really NEED to get the coilovers on, they're well overdue!

 

[Mr Burns]

Here's my video from Oulton Park... The cars I'm getting past are quite surprising considering I'm in a 1.5 with 109bhp lol.



Few pics...

 

[MarkCup]

Brilliant! I was smiling the entire way through that.

Good work despatching the R32 and just LOL at the billy-big-b****cks cretin in the 911!

Haha! The guy in the R32 came over and we chatted for a while... He basically said he let me past so he could follow me, but then couldn't keep up lol.

 

[Cub.]

Looks like a good day

I second Marks thoughts, the guy driving the 911 was awful, couldn't corner for toffee - lol!

 

[sbridgey]

You sure there's no sneaky turbo bolted on mate?

Very good driving though, enjoyed watching that!

 

[Ash']

Good drive! Surprising what you can do in a car like that. Looks a right laugh on the track.

 

[Gally]

Seen one local for Sale Ste, £800! Bit of a bargain, was taken in px.

They're as good on the road as they are on track...and arguably far more fun than anything with more power as you can just drive it flat out everywhere.

 

[Gally]

I like the understated Silver also.

 

[Mr Burns]

Cheers fellas

It's worth pointing out that other than the wheels and uprated front pads that car is standard, with no anti-roll bars or suspensions set-ups. The tyres are only T1-R's too lol. Proper cheap fun!

Got any info, Gally?

I'd love to turbo it, imagine peoples faces!

 

[Gally]

Well I now can't find it on Gumtree although there are a few up in Scotland that are cheap! Might buy one to try!

 

[Heez]

Was that the red one Gally? Think it went via the Ignis Facebook.

Need to do trackdays this year!

 

[Gally]

Yeah Red one. I think it was a dealer but he was just looking to get rid. You still got yours dude?

 

[Heez]

That one was ruined IIRC. Looked nice at one point and had a lot of JDM y0! parts, blew a couple of engines lol.

Yeh, needs a few things doing over the next couple of months. Gonna do bushes, mounts and tie rods. About to crossover the 50k mark!

Ste, when's the cool overs getting put on? Interested to know the difference between them and the suzukisport ones which I still have on after 2 years!

 

[Gally]

You have to come take me out in it!

 

[Heez]

When everything is sorted it'll happen. It's a shame that the ride will put you off haha!

It's just a matter of finding time and some dry weather... I'm too busy doing trackdays lol.

 

[Gally]

Yours tight? The roads around me ruined my 2n Frp experience. So tight!

 

[Heez]

You have no idea! It's hilariously stiff! Will make the FRP seem like a German barge!

I'm used to it and when you're on the right road, it makes sense!

 

[Gally]

Haha! Well now you have me intrigued!

 

[Mr Burns]

He's not wrong! I had that exact same suspension on my old one, and if you drove over a coin you could tell if it was heads or tails!

 

[Mr Burns]

Couple more pics from Oulton Park...

 

[Matt W]

Looks right at home.

 

[Mr Burns]

After months of coilover ownership I've finally put them on...

More pics on the way once I've cleaned her and found some daylight lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Love it

 

[Heez]

Looks good although in that pic the front wheel looks a little lost in the arches!

Interested to know how they ride compared to the SS ones!

 

[jamesybear]

Looks good with the coilovers, proper fun looking cars!

 

[Paul.M]

That looks so at home on the track, looks like a fun motor.

 

[ukaskew]

Looking great, really miss my Iggy Sport.

If I didn't need something vaguely practical for the forthcoming sprog I would buy another in a heart beat, so cheap now, many are on well below average miles and they are as good as bombproof if maintained properly.

 

[Chris V6 255]

I used to love mine! Might look at one for a cheap run around.

 

[Mr Burns]

Hello coilovers

Went for a little blast through the woods this afternoon and I bloody love it.

 

[Alan]

Looks awesome that !

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Sits perfect Ste!
