v6 replica

[BIFCAIDS]

maybe he cant run or insure the real V6 so thought f**k it buy one someones made a rep n make it actually look like one

 

[rich_1989]

maybe he wants to get it looking like v6 rep, then race some fool for some bet, then when he looses and says, its only a rep, then asks for a rematch a week later for pink slips and pulls out the REAL v and f***s him up! now that would be good

 

[BIFCAIDS]

chances are slim tho lol

Lol thats insane. Do it !

 

[clio_luke]

I'd say cut your losses and get it scrapped tbh

It's NEVER going to look right

[r_dizzel*]

how did they move the petrol tank?

 

[JD]

They didn't. That's subber's old car, a real vee.

 

[Ali]

PMSL @ this! Love how the real one is claimed to be mint...Certatinly looks that way :dead:

 

[madlymodified]

I'll get it out an clean it just for you and then you can see how mint it really is... Notice I said mint, not clean,
And I'm not gonna piss my money up the wall with the rep,just wanted a runaround and thought this would b a twist , and just noticed with my avatar, shoulda read v6, rep, hilux
I've already explibed all the reasons for why I bought the rep, I'll hope the vee is on the road next summer, but this year, the truck and the boat racing took over and I really didn't have the money

 

[172cupwizard]

OMG! why oh why lol

 

[madlymodified]

Wat??
See call me weired but I don't understand the issue
The truck, tows the boat and is horrid to drive, ever driven 37' mudterrains on the road and you'd know
The vee, is lush to drive but very expensive, and a two seater with no boot isn't always practical
It's a £500 run around I became a member of this forum to try and get advice to get it looking better,
And all I've done is caused alot of contiversey and confusion LOL

 

[Ali]

Fella! LOL, Come off it...Anyone who owns a vee would NEVER be seen dead near, or driving a replica!!!

 

[VeinAST]

Do what you think is right to rectify it mate. You might end up with something smart instead of something awful

 

[r_dizzel*]

ohhh

 

[J03]

where are you from? ive seen that peice of crap driving around ponte before

 

[Dave..]

Hang on, you have a real vee, and that "rep"?

 

[Gally]

Yes, and I don't think you're the only one confused my friend.

 

[madlymodified]

Fella! LOL, Come off it...Anyone who owns a vee would NEVER be seen dead near, or driving a replica!!!

Why not?
It is rough, admitadely, but it's a run around, maybe I prioritize wrong but I needed an everyday car, this was cheap, and throught the petrol and insurance I'll save on the truck it will pay for itself? Seemed a no brainer to me,

 

[GavC]

Enough of the hate towards this guys car, some people simply cannot afford the inital purchase cost or even insurance for a v6 so it makes sense buying a replica. It can make an interesting project.

Mate if you truely like the car go ahead and fix what is needed to improve it, I posted a list of my ideas before so check them out

 

[Rob]

I don't understand all the bad feeling towards this guy on here? He seems to have a thing for anything with an engine and not have a snobbish attitute about it thats all. Yes, lots of the users on here hate reps, but surely it can't be that hard to understand.

Ah well, I look forward to any updates, I'm quite interested to see what you'll make of it.

Does look like some of them are illiterate.

 

[ipodsandguns]

to top it off this dude also has a jet ski and speed boat.....

 

[Aluco]

Leave off the dude, at least he isn't claiming it looks "Sik" and his pickup is f**king awesome cool !

 

[Hutchie]

i think it looks alright to bo fair.

maybe you can get someone like image to make a custom offset wheel to fill the arches. dropped on coilies will look pretty good imo

keep us posted.

(most of cliosport are critical if its not detailed every 5 mins and running reccomended mods. turini's recaro's h&r's to name a few... )

 

[rich_1989]

well all those giving him s**t will be pissed when he atends the next clio meet and does this:

be on a serious note
this guy has come on here asking for advise and though all the s**t people have give him he has stayed chilled. and unlike some newcomers iv seen on here like that guy with the 19" sunstrip, who just start going metal saying all are cars are s**t, hes just stayed chilled, proving he isnt a dick, yet people still treat him like one.

 

[Aluco]

FFS Hutchie, needs silvervisions !

we need more "cba to mod" members :rasp: they're way cooler.


Ps. H'agree with the above.

What the forum old timers are actually trying to say is - don't listen to them at all. Can't believe some of the snobbish attitudes from some members in particular.

 

[Gally]

I think you'll find it was one of the oldest members who was upset at his car mate.

 

[madlymodified]

thanks guys for the positive comments
ive posted a lil thread about the truck too as people seem more intrested in that 2bh haha

[Ali]

lol. Ok fair enough you wanted to save cash...I agree 1.2's are cheap to run and insure...So why spend money on it...I bet with all the work it's equate to about the value of your 'real' v6!!!

 

[Plummer]

It's a 1.6 is it not?

 

[Subway]

how did they move the petrol tank?

It was actually rather easy. After removing the back seats and putting a fake cover on it; we actually had so much room to play with.

They didn't. That's subber's old car, a real vee.

Spoil spot

 

[Eliganza]

man some people on here need to chill out. like the guy says, he already has a vee so why bother with all the "why not just get a real one" comments. its not like hes making you drive it so whats the point in bitching?

like other more constructive people have said, wheels with big offset, coilovers and it might not look so bad tbh

 

[Dash]

Madlymodified live up to the name and stick a v8 in the rep just for the fun of it.

More importantly let me know what number the proper vee has inside.

 

[madhops87]

The best v6 rep Ive seen was a guy down the road from me. He put a hell of a lot of work in to it. Used all v6 stuff where he could. Think he solved the rear wheel issue by getting special spacers from France. Cost him £250 iirc.

 

[The_Pirate]

This thread has produced not only teh' lolz but a great deal of confusion aswell...!

 

[Ali]

It is actually Ollie?
