[Matt W]

Bet it shifts!

Ugly as sin though IMO.

 

[Scrooge]

That is pretty epic, bet that has cost shitloads!

 

[Gaz.]

I bet that's crying out for an LSD.

 

[Joshua.J]

The last owner spent 6k on it not including buying it, im after an LSD but tbh it puts down the power brilliant only times it struggles is in the rain part from that pulls like a train with no spinning.

 

[Mr Burns]

Wicked! Love people who go out there and buy something different!

 

[Joshua.J]

Alright ste! cheers havnt spoke to you in ages could do with a meet up see what else you done to the ignis.

 

[Dunn]

That's quite cool, bet it's a good laugh to drive

 

[Mr Burns]

Alright ste! cheers havnt spoke to you in ages could do with a meet up see what else you done to the ignis.

Hi mate.... It's back to standard and ready to sell

I'm doing a lot more miles now and the Ignis just isn't suitable anymore, I'm staying Jap though

 

[Vicky.]

I'd love a go in that. Looks fun!

 

[Joshua.J]

Ohh any hint on what your getting next?

More than welcome to have a go in it vicky

 

[Mr Burns]

I'm getting a Civic Type R mate, ticks more of the boxes then everything else I looked at!

 

[Joshua.J]

ep3? i was looking at getting one but needed turbo in my life lol

 

[Christopher]

I bet that's hilarious! Nice buy.

I'd have to sort out the front mount though. It'd look much better with black hoses for a start.

 

[Mr Burns]

ep3? i was looking at getting one but needed turbo in my life lol

Yes mate, I'm aware that the steering isn't great but hopefully with a few well-chosen mods it'll be a nice daily driver.

Deffo meet up though dude!

 

[Joshua.J]

Cheers chris, got a japanese bumper on order which will require the fmic to be moved so will be doing that soon

 

[Joshua.J]

Yes mate, I'm aware that the steering isn't great but hopefully with a few well-chosen mods it'll be a nice daily driver.

Deffo meet up though dude!

Well from what my mates have told me there great cars, i would love a supercharged one but sure just let me know when bud

 

[Knuckles]

Sorry but I skimmed through, is this the 307bhp one featured in redline this month?

Edit... Read the bhp

 

[D4N13L]

Great sleeper. I bet this has shocked a few at the lights.

 

[Joshua.J]

Haha noo the one in redline is a mate of mine, hes gone the whole hog and forged the engine,bigger turbo. The route im thinking of going after iv sourced a LSD cheapest iv found is £900 .

Its a great sleeper untill u see the FMIC, but defo shocked a 350z

 

[daydotz]

i like

 

[Dweeb]

bet it goes like fook!

 

[Daz.]

What is it?

 

[mat-nos]

colt czt tuned by ralliart iirc 1.5 turbo, 155hp and pretty nippy as standard just a shame its not really a lloker but i like different cars than the norm and its certianly got a nice spec sheet bar the green stuff pads.....

nice find, i will be following your progress with this

 

[Daz.]

I actually really like that.

Just having a sneaky look on pistonheads

Whats it like on coilovers?

 

[Merk]

I WANT that.

Seriously, I really want that car! Looks ace!

 

[Joshua.J]

Its yellow pads now and just ordering some braided oil and water lines with a new JDM bumper from japan and evo bonnet


DAZ the coilovers on it were a one off custom job by ISC in Austraila for the sum of £850, they feel perfect handles brilliant yet nice and comfy when on rough roads dont smash your spine to pieces lol. Few lads are running FKs and say they are good, quite a few brands out there for coilies now

Haha cheers Merk i was after something different compared to everyone else getting vxr,st,type r,cupra, my mate said he was selling it watched him do all the work and decided to buy it. Happy with it especially considering im getting 45mpg daily tbh i know the looks are a bit of a put off for some people but in the flesh i think it looks better than the pics just needs some spacers now and alloys

 

[Daz.]

I think it looks great personally although after having a few peeks on pistonheads I prefer the stealth look of a standard front bumper...

 

[Joshua.J]

Yer im not keen on the bumper on it atm, the one im getting from japan will look a lot better a new CZT front bumper is the same price as the JDM spec so decided to get that instead.

 

[Philip.]

I love that
New front bumper would look brilliant too.

 

[Sanders]

I like that, very sleeper/tuner

 

[Goodj]

Like these, even the missus does (and she hates everything that her sister doesn't own and thus will mean we'd be deemed to entry-level foci)

interior feels a bit nasty though, even compared to a 172!

 

[Hixle]

That's ACE! Bet it's great fun!

 

[Joshua.J]

Yer the interior isnt the best but coming from a glanza v it feels like royalty lol but hopefully going to have the dash and doors done in suede.

Cheers for the all the good comments guys will keep it up to date with the new mods. As for the fun factor its brilliant!! pulls like mad and the exhaust pops are insane! also gets the looks everywhere it goes.

 

[_Tom]

Looks cool but that front mount look gash hanging out. If you cant hide it, paint in black like i did. Also, why has someone cut holes in the front bumper when the cooler doesnt even go that high? lol

Either way. I like it.

 

[Munson]

Are they Geenstuff pads? LOL I hope you have life insurance.

 

[daddycool]

what is it?

 

[Ian_182]

Great little sleeper.

 

[Joshua.J]

All the front end is being sorted out the last owner drilled the holes as above the numberplate was piping to the air filter and the same near fog lights. Yer i dont really rate the pads was yellow now green but not to sure on them.

I want to wake it up a bit so i think nice set of rims evo bonnet and front bumper will make it stand out a bit, also been toying with a upgraded turbo for a nice healthy dose of 280bhp any more than 300bhp needs uprated internals

 

[Merk]

Any videos? Would love to hear it!
