Go buy a civic type r.

I dont WANT ONE!!!! :mad:

Unless its perhaps a Mugen FN2. But they are 4x what I paid for my T-Sport, and they aren't 4x better. Or even 2x better. Maybe 1.6x better.

And look like a spaceship.

That S2000 sounds like it is insanely fun to drive! 400bhp rwd in something as little as that! Good buy.

Stop lying to yourself.

Seriously, I don't want one.

Drove an EP3, found it to be a worse compromise as an all-round-car than the T-Sport. Less kit, less comfy, cheaper plastics, more expensive, higher insurance.

Could have bought a tidy earlier EP3 for about the same money I paid for this current T-Sport.

Do you give your cars away at the end of the ownership experience for that to matter?

IIRC they all end up in the bin or spares/repairs?

Akagi · 10 Mar 2018 at 13:36

Lets see... Sold one for £400, sold one for £600, traded two for sheds, broke one shed for parts, sold other shed for large-ish loss, uhh... Basically yeah.

Vita · 10 Mar 2018 at 14:23

2 Honda's of mine got sold for spares/repairs. Also my old Mondeo which is still on the road now. I regret getting rid of that tbh was a brilliant car.

Picked this up for £1500 today for the daily runaround, 123K mikes, FSH. Has the usual problems with heater matrix which needs flushing, seat rails & handbrake adjustment and that's it. Goes well for a 1.8L.

A good high revving 4 cylinder can sound great. I really like the noise my Corolla makes.

My little 3 pot does like to pretend to be a larger engine in terms of size ^-^ They must have spent some time getting it to produce a nice note.

I almost bought a black 54 plate T-Sport with a heater matrix issue and the alcantara interior for £2000 a couple of years ago when I ended up buying my grey one. Wondering if its the same one...

Looks good on the Compressor wheels.

Good buy for that money! I paid £2250 for mine on 82,000 miles with a few bits thrown in, Comp strut brace, grooved disks, yellowstuff pads, K&N Typhoon, DET3, lowering springs, etc.

Let me know if you'd be interested in a full red/black cloth interior + cash for your alcantara.

Or indeed some refurbed 16" T-Sport wheels for your Comp wheels

I'm offering to PX interiors and/or wheels not cars.

dacads · 11 Mar 2018 at 12:55

Wow the comp wheels look so much better

Akagi · 11 Mar 2018 at 17:31

Looks in great condition.

I picked up a tsport Celica last year, engine is great fun once you learn how to get the performance out of it.

Just got to get those gear changes timed right

Although think the corolla has a different gearbox.

I thought they were exactly the same?

Got me doing some googlin' now.

e; I think the internals are the same, but the casings might be different, different mount points or something.
