Has a faulty MAF sensor so just chucks fuel in on start up, pulls alright though a lot better than my 1.2 Nova did only I dared to take the Nova a bit faster, once you hit 70-80 mph in this fiesta the steering wobbles like Homer Simpson's belly fat, needs the wheels balancing.
But it gets me about.

cheers andy,i bought it on condition and its more me than the novavan was,
its originally a xr3i never welded on all original panels and doesnt need any welding either its solid,
someone fitted a 1998 1.8 turbo diesel engine to itlol and added the rs kit i just need to fit some recaros in it , so to me its the perfect daily for me,
i noticed the reg plate too when i bought it:p ,

Only in 16". Get them bought though, they are nice wheels.

Yeah it's a Rover, but it was £400 with six months test out of a scrappies. Cheap set of Apex lowering springs, 17's and a Cupra R splitter has helped it looks wise. Gives me no trouble at all. HG has already been done too.

Ha that would explain alot, im lucky im the right side of the Itchen
Funk me, you own Si p's old Astra, i thought that thing died.
I don't have it anymore
I bought it off Si having seen him build it up, then sold it to welsh chap who literally redlined it off my drive, that funded the mk4 astra gsi, which then got sold to fund buying the Sport shell
Ah cool cool. Guess by now it's dead.
I would of thought so, underside wasn't too special lol and I've never seen it forsale again
I saw it just before Si sold it and it was looking a bit "tired" then...
I had it fully painted, new wheels, shocks etc before selling, looked ok IMO as in the pic
Think the off side rear quarter was the only original panel on the car lol
Nice to look at but glad I got shut tbh
Yeah looks good in the pic.

No keys as it isnt a roadgoing car, few switches for the electrics and its off, i doubt the owner wouldve even dreamt for one moment that the possibility of it being taken from under everyones noses would ever arise:eek:
Ahh after all the Internet rumours/crap I was thinking it has the keys in :thumb:
If I take the Sport to any show I would never let it out of my sight tbh

Nah its the same set up as say an F1 car (and yes i know they dont actually start without computers, but you know what i mean) and you wouldnt really have thought that there would have been that big a gap in people with/around the 'Maxxis' stand that anyone would have chance to get it out of there and out of the main gate without anyone realising, i reckon it was well planned and the guys that did it deliberately went there with the intention of taking it, and either got massively lucky with their timing, or they may indeed have had inside help, (just speculation on my part here before anyone thinks im being a cnut)
Calm down Rich :)
Tbh leaving it unattended in hindsight wasn't a clever thing

Well you werent disappointed then were you, how would you feel if you were the owner of it or someone had stolen your car and others were making a joke of it?
i made quite a few jokes about mine getting nicked lol everyone else did too. if you cant find some humor in something then you're no better that a traffic warden
oh mine got a polish last weekend...have some whoring
