To be honest, 200bhp in a RWD car isn't that much, unless it weighs <1000kg's.

You'll learn throttle control with 120bhp through a (single) rear tyre on something that weighs 180kg's pretty quick

Really want to mountune!

Looks like one of the scary 5 year old ghosts in your passenger window...

... nearly **** a brick

That Primera GT looks mint and its a saloon like the touring cars and JPN white. :cool:

Still regret missing out on a a mint example!

Haha cheers for the comments guys.

The colour of the wheels was just for a bit of a laugh anyway and I got some interesting comments from some of the GP 'purists' but they are sadly now off the car and I'm back on to the original wheels. I was tempted by doing Red as MrLOL suggested but the ones that have been modified usually go for Red anyway so I went for something different.

I'm liking the Fiesta and the Primera (never thought I'd say that)

I would love that Primera with the VE in it. What's it worth? About £1500?

Very tempted by the fly eyes to darken the lights ever so slightly. Looks a bit chav though...

looks sweet as it is.

What I purchased in June 2012. Only just had the courage to post it on here. Came up from a Mk4 Ibiza Sport.

The beginning of the 2011 spec run with the battery in the boot. 180bhp, 7 speed DSG gearbox. Absolute hoot to drive and ticked all the boxes with cheap running costs v performance. The photo was taken at the Minack Theatre where I drove it 3.5hrs 350 miles without any issues.

GSDog · 26 Feb 2013 at 22:03

Looks nice, like the colour. What is it though? I thought the Cupra was something like 240bhp?

Phil W · 26 Feb 2013 at 22:12

Thats the Leon, above is an Ibiza, i think..

You're right, my mistake.

I prefer the look of the Ibiza over the Leon.

Aw, makes me miss my Primera GT. It was in white too, and an R reg with anthracite Enkei GT LE wheels. Loved that car - absolute hoot to drive, massive boot. Cost me £1800 to buy mine with 69k miles a few years ago, then sold it 2.5 years later with 90k miles for £1400. Not bad!

IIRC, you've done an engine conversion to yours have you? With the er...i forget the engine numbers, SR20DET is it?

Firestar_3x · 26 Feb 2013 at 23:42

Cracking cars the P11 primera, when i passed my test i used to love driving my dads SRI and SI, such great cars to chuck around a backroad, the P10 eGT was a hoot too.

This I believe, must feel quite quick with that much power and the old school weight of the 90s.

Need pictures of battery in boot. Never seen a car with a boot battery from the factory.

Most 6 cylinder BMWs, Jags, Mercs etc have them in the boot for space and weight reasons.
