Quick Question

[NaplesValver]

How much would i be lookin at spendin on a valver with a willy engine in it???

ive recently sold my valver for an mr2 n/a and wish i never did it, my valver was so much more fun to drive and actually felt quicker in a straight line, i prefer the looks of the mr2 but miss the sound of my magnex on the redline whilst cannin the ass off some higher priced, thinks-its-fast car then seeing there face in the mirror as the realise they have just been pasted by a little clio!!!

i would quite happily return to a 1.8 but quite fancy the willy engined one, and before anyone mentions it i cant afford the insurance on a real willy as im saving for a holiday!

cheers to all who reply.

i ve just done the same thing mate and swapped my valver for an MR2. cant say i regret it at all to be honest. i think the 2 handles better-its certainly got more grip and carries much more speed through corners. mines a N/a but isnt standard. they only feel quicker in a straight line because the 2s gearing is so much longer. i hit 105 in 3rd last night in mine.

i think a decent willy converted valver goes for about 3k min.

is ur 2 a uk car or import? mines a uk t bar with full leather, it is quick im not disputin that, im just not as attached to it as i was to my valver, the only reason i got rid was because ive always wanted a 2 and now ive got one i really dont think they are all they are cracked up to be, have u had the back skip out on you yet? its bloody frightnin especially when u have slicks on the back!!!

yeah, mines a rev 3 uk t bar. Yeah, had the back go a couple of times last night on wet roundabouts. sh*ts you up when youre not expecting it yeah.

i know what youre saying about feeling as attached to it as the valver. the valver is a much more involving drive. My 2s got fully uprated suspension, full exhaust inc decat, chipped and an IK so its really not a bad drive at all.i do miss the noise of the valver though-mine used to sound awesome.

my 2 has full s/s decat janspeed exhaust and k&n ans is lowered 30mm, its a rev2 93L reg, what colour is yours mate? mines black.

Ive already made my mind up on another valver though, its just a case of sourcin one and shiftin the 2

mines in british racing green. being the rev 3 it had the revised rear suspension etc. handles a lot better. yours was only 157 brake as standard where as mines 173. same 0-60s and all that though.

you wont have any problems shifting it coming up to the summer, especially it being black mate.

there going for around 3.5 in the trader this week, so should have some spare cash with the valver too!
