View Full Version : ever wish...
That you handn't of taken a spanner to your car, fitted that new set of wheels... bought them lowering spings and let you hands un away with your car lol.
Basically got youself involved with modifying cars...
I really wish i could bring myself to have something nice to use everyday, but upto now nothing has been quick enough or Raw enough for my budget. I drive a car think this will be alright and its Naff lol.
Maybe i'm looking at totally the wrong kinda cars going out in a Civic Type R this week sometime to see how they are. was advised to stay well away fom the RX7 as i would blow the ****er up pmsl. Was offered a 400brake scooby but meh.. Lets see what Vtec Yo is like Bo' friggin annoying this buying a car im happy with malaky.
yeh i had no interest in cars till i got my job as a vauxhall apprentice. Nothing its good enough now! You will get bored of a civic, an xe nova is more fun and will eat them alive. Im sure you want more than that by now lol
Ive had an XE nova and used to work at the local honda mainstealers and therefore driven loads, and raqced my nova against a few to compare, tbh theyre awesome cars, much faster than a standard XE nova is and they handle really well, (im assuming you mean the shape just phased out, the breadbin shaped one) they got 6 cogs good suspension, ace seats and with a filter on them and a decat go like funk, i think you will be pleased by one of them tbh bud.
And im sure you will be less likey to blow one of those up than you would an RX7 as we had a guy come in once before sayin his engine was rattling like a ford pushrod and sounded like a skeleton having a w4nk in a biscuit tin, he had driven from london like this and we found he had lost the sump plug somewhere along the line and therefore had no oil in it, we told him it was new engine time but he insisted we refit a plug and refill so see if it would still run and it went quiet as fook and ran (or seemed to run) fine!
Dunno if it blew up afterwards but he drove off a happy boy lol
Cant see a spazda doin that tbh!
yeah its a breadbin shape, the xe nova was fun but the novas are just too old fo me now, dont fancy one of them for everday use anymore lol.
I'm a bit :S about the Vtec, he was sayin they are handy under vtec but at 5.5k is where they come to play, seeing as i hardly brake and tend to be in gear ready on the power just before entering the corner and driving it threw... it may work for me.
But, i've killed one or two in the past, im guessing a lot is down to driver and if they are caught off guard or not.
We're all the same mate. Can't leave stuff alone. I would happily sign up for experimental surgery if it meant they could isolate and remove the modifying gene lol
i agree spud, but tbh rexy i'd get an integra rather than the sieve-ic type arrrrggghhh! still think you should xe the cilo tho.....
Buy a DC2, they can be had for nowt these days. I was down Stoke yesterday buying coilovers etc with a mate and the guy had just sold his JDM championship white DC2 for 3500 quid, had Tein Super Streets, AEM, Spoon bits etc. Looked and sounded mint. 70K miles and immaculate. That would have been 6/7 grand last time I checked them (last year) Well worth it.

Exactly, you can have the fastest car on four wheels but if you dont know how to pedal it properly then youre funked, my cav is by no means fast and occasionally gets overtaken by milkfloats and wildlife but a couple of months back a load of my mates went up the coast for a jolly out and because i know how to sling the old girl round corners i was one of the first back out of about seven or eight cars, one was a swift GTi and another fezzy ST!
Not saying im a driving god, its just im not a straight line driver like they were and they couldnt figure out why even though they had faster cars i still beat them, tell them its cos they clearly cant pedal with enthusiasm and they dont get it lol
clios been ****ed off mate, so not happening lol, Just wish i could buy a 1.0 somthing and be ove the moon with it but i cant :( Driving a Citroen c1 atm. at first it was funny fo a day, now its just annoying and i hate it.
haha john "cleland" paddock.........
where is stoooo when you need him the ****ing girl!
Im exactly the same.
But this Fu*kus might change me somewhat. Im not going to touch it, and hopefully it will last us a good while :)
At the same time, i cant wait to start my next project :(
rexy, get an audi s4 and be done with it......

They probably started with one then bought another for bits then another and another lmao!

i wish i had nevr bothered with cars at all!
shush you have a sweet loon. i wouldnt complain
Type R won't be as fast as an XE Nova in a straight line, beat them all the time at York. However I really want one as well for some reason, think its the VTEC yo!!
shush you have a sweet loon. i wouldnt complain
