My new cup!!!

[philmots]

I've been on this site for well over 6 months now and its been brill, loads of knowlage and everything has helped me to find an absolute mint cup!

Anyway i picked it up last monday night but have been flat out at work so not had chance to clean it up and everything, but today was the day and its come up a treat!

Very impressed with the car, ive got used to the speed now which is a bit of a shame but other than that its great, i think i got a good deal on it. its an 03 plate, 25k miles, had both services done, new brakes, new tyres, and a custom made exhaust which sounds superb, not much louder than oem... just right!!! all for 6.5k. the only problem is the steering wheel rubber has split but this is gettin replaced under warrenty friday morning!!!

Anyway thanks for all the help and everything and here are a couple of pics!

(although i am scared at how cheap these are being bought for now! lol don't think i'll be selling mine... ever!)

It's nice to hear someone getting a new steering wheel for that splitting rubber problem!

nice matey, just get some silver vision indicator bulbs for the front and rear, then your sorted!!!

The silvervisions are on order, cant wait for them to come.

To answer someone elses question yeah the car was a very good price but also all the new parts its had are worth an easy 600 quid so makes it even better!!!

And the new steering wheel, the car be perfect! apart from some kerbing on the turinis:dapprove:

Looks just like mine!!

I've had mine for 6 days, its awesome!! Used to drive a MKII Toyota MR2, which to be fair did handle a LOT better than the 172, but the 172 is a lot quicker.

New Car

Similar story to philmots, 03 plate, 20k miles, although i got £1500 trade in on the MR2, so it was £6495

I was very pleasently surprised how quick it is.:star:
