[burgo]

[vauxluva]

[Hobbit]

Get a new car?

[djshaggeh]

Buy a cav saloon or one of the chevettes on ebay atm.

120+miles isn't that far, I'd sooner travel that then buy a ford.

[L33 LEG]

How can we suggest what car to buy next when we don't know what your budget is and what you want from a car.

R5s are still a 'tin' car so that'l be out the question. Not sure what you mean by 120+ miles, but it isnt far at all to buy a car.

PS. It's grammar :wtf:

lol

Ya wnt wokdiobo saxo innet bruv 1.1 bt wil kil ur bruvs mummys nova redtop innet

[vauxluva]

yas but renlult fives are turbo im looking for somthing, small block with a turbo.. vaux only offer 2.0,i mean 120,000 miles with cavs. Travel isnt a problem,ive got 350,maybee a tad more the renult needs a lot of welding but thats wat im good with.Please dnt give me abuse over spelling.

[AlexW]

Speak ****ing English. Read The ****ing Rules!

[vauxluva]

ok that helps alot!

[L33 LEG]

I wasnt giving you abuse.

£350 will not buy you a decent turbo car. A R5 for that price will be an absolute ****ter.

[vauxluva]

look the lump is fine. its got most of the service history its just in need of some big engineering ..........wich i like ill just stop this thread

[L33 LEG]

So you have already found the next car? I really am struggling to understand the point of this thread.

[vauxluva]

opinions that was the point ...never mind

[brainsnova]

pics of the R5 and i cant read so spelling looks ok to me.

[wwmnw]

Yeah 120,000 miles is a long way to go for a car, buy locally.

[Ernie]

Give him a break lads.
He is only asking for some advice on weather to buy a r5 or not.
The r5 will just eat money and then kill itself to be fare mate i would stay away from them.

[Jon_nova1]

What he said ^^^^

the head gaskets a prone to dying due to the boost the little engine does, straight after that is the turbo failing, it doesn't matter how fine the lump is, no R5 turbo lump has ever managed to take any abuse

[LEWI007]

If i didnt have a nova id have one of these

[RickW]

£350 will get you my mates Supra 3.0 Turbo

However the car requires a new engine loom, an mot and tax. Apart from that its lovely!

[Jon_nova1]

And you too could build this!

http://www.toyota-supra.info/albums/fatf/1995_toyota_supra_fatf_12.jpg

after putting 10-15K worth of parts into it overnight from Japan!

[swedge]

At a guess it's gotta be a mk 3 Supra. lol

[brainsnova]

R5 and some how get a redtop in it lol

[Nova_Tek]

LMFAO lol Brililant +rep mate

On a more serious note, hard luck about the write off mate. Any pics of the damage? Its just luck really some people have a blow out and luck keeps them out of harms way and sometimes not. It's not a write off coz the Nova is a tin can, it's a write off coz it's not worth jack in the insurance price bible.

[Jon_nova1]

sorry l14dfdf, i can't rep you lol

yep, its because novas are worth nothing! they get written off for damage to door locks!

[Nova_Tek]

Exactly, If someone bumps into you and bent the bumper iron and took some paint off, the cost needed to buy a new bumper iron and a couple hours labour to paint it would cost much more then a Nova's worth in the insurances' eyes, hence a write off.

[Stanley]

There are bargains out there to be had!

Ive just got myself a 30k mile Cavalier GLS with FSH, tax'd and mot'd for a year for £70.

Keep yer peepers open!

[L14MNP]

Exactly, If someone bumps into you and and did zero visible damage that would cost much more to repair then a Nova's worth in the insurances' eyes, hence a write off.

Tidied. lol

Jon, wtf l14mdfbbq4x4 lol

[Novaboi_1991]

your looking for a cheap, smallblock, turbo.. with tax and mot...

im in the same boat tbh.. which is the reason im going for one of these :D

http://is.gumtree.com/ad_image/live/big/279713131.jpg

Cheap insurance, cheap to run, sorted lol

[Nova_Tek]

Come to mention it L14MNP a worth while tidy up but I think there is still some that need tiding.

If you don't mind me editing my own post...

Much better lol

PICS OR GTFO :thumb:

[muzzy]

Any cheap R5 GTT will be an absolute banger, you need to pay good money for a good one and even then you need to be sensible with it and it won't be cheap to run it & maintain either.

[Bubba]

r5gtt, my mate had a k-tec one...camchain went, then 2 turbos, then when the big overhaul came, the shell was held together with erm...air.

[L33 LEG]

This thread still doesnt make sense to me lol

[muzzy]

This thread still doesnt make sense to me lol

I'm not totally sure myself but I just read something about £350 and R5 GTT so put the two together lol

[Gibbo]

[ianglanister]

i aslways remember my dad telling me that when he worked in the body shop(a good 20 or so years back) he had alot of R5 turbo's in as they were the same brakes as thr 1.1s or something. they could go very well but couldnt stop he said he had alot of them in with front end smashes. to be honest in my opinion you will struggle to find a good one thats not been taken to the limits all the time same as subaru imprezas i was looking at getting one but they have all been raced all the time and not looked after most the time...

[vauxluva]

the 5 i had a smash at some point no been fixed corectly,you should never meet your heros all ive heard is bad news,shame like the lines,
