New Car, Back on HG Watch

Good car, I had one at the start of last year that I bought blind off ebay for £495 with 12 months MOT but no tax.

Had over 130k on the clock, ran it for 6 months, didnt do any maintainance on it at all, just changed the front discs when I got it as they were warped.

Thrashed it regularly and sold it on for pretty much the same price.

Good engine, looks OK considering the age and handles OK too as the K series is nice and light.

Gotta get those rubbing strips colour coded! :p

Mine had the rear diffuser/bumper thing colour coded but the rub strips werent.

I prefer it with them all black tbh!

Full sandstone leather is worth quite a bit too, most sought after of the three different ones as its different to the earlier turbo coupe leather which is cream.
 
Good choice vonsteve! mine lasted to 111k before the headgasket started to go so could have plenty of life left in it!

here was mine;

and here was a list of mods i made to it which transformed the car, especially the handling and throttle response.


-Lowered 40mm Using GMAX Shocks and Springs
-OMP Strut Brace
-"Longlife" Stainless Steel Cat Back Exhaust System
-52mm Throttle Body
-Pipercross Venom Enclosed Induction Kit
-EBC Grooved and Dimpled Front Discs
-EBC Greenstuff Pads

would recommend all those mods, maybe using a slightly better set of suspension then the gmax but was still good and a hoot to drive

Surely after experiencing 620Ti power only the turbo would do :D I would love a 220 Turbo, was considering saving for one this summer but then this bargain turned up :)

This was while I was looking for a replacement for the 400 diesel, the ti came at the right time, just couldn't refuse. :)

After the ti I don't think I could do VVC.... unrelated but 4 days till I pick it up! :D
 
Ah I see, misread what you were saying :)

On another note, only just realised that was you Poosemon, didn't know you were still around on these boards :) How's life since Truro College? What you driving these days then.
